Cast and Crew, Part Deux

The obviously needed Character Sheet Thread.

Players: VennDiagram; GeniusSavant; PhaedrusXY; Risada, Concerned Ninja Citizen, Flay Crimsonwind

Character Generation

Allowed Content: Any / all, but it must be run by me. WotC, 2nd party, 3rd party, Dragon, Homebrew, 3.X, some of the 3.0 may be used instead of the 3.5, by approval. No dungeon, due to my lack of possession of it.

Starting Level: 3rd
Starting Wealth: 2,700gp on starting gear. Max of one magic item. Gear subject to approval.
Starting Stats (before adjustments): 96 point buy; or array of 18, 18, 18, 18, 18, 18
Hit Points: Maxed on all dice

Protocols

• When posting your character, the sheet must appear on this forum, and links must be included to any and all online articles and homebrew. This is so I can check sheets quickly and easily. Here are some templates for use, but feel free to do your own if desired.
• The Play-By-Post Handbook has all of the important guidlines for playing pbp (duh)
• Plz.typ.clairly. > Please Type Clearly
• The world operates without much overall CR fluctuation. Which means that as you get to higher levels, the harder you'll have to search for a decent challenge, whereas at the start most fights will seem "Nintendo Hard" or even "Gygaxian" (though I hate that term's inaccuracy).
• This setting does not have much in the way of magic gear, or magic using people. Do not expect to get lots of super-gear. That said, even a couple of "dynamic" items will push you above WBL

Fire racial traits incorporated into combat stats and ability scores already.

Uncarnate Armor (gains armor and shield bonus while uncarnate)

Shed Body (Su): Become partially incorporeal once per hour for 1 min/lvl. See Unbodied racial class for details

Hide Mind (Su): An unbodied cannot be identified as psionic by divination spells or clairsentience powers.

Scorn Earth (Su): As Elocater, but can't willingly fly/float above 1 ft off ground. If over 1 ft off ground, falls as if under Featherfall and takes Levitation penalties to fighting.

Telepathy 10'/HD, manifests as psion 2

Assume Likeness (Su): At second level, while uncarnate (or incorporeal) an unbodied can assume the likeness of any Small, Medium, or Large creature as a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. Its abilities do not change, but it appears to be that creature, relying on its Bluff and Disguise skills to deflect suspicion. While using Assume Likeness, the Unbodied receives a +10 racial bonus to Disguise on pretending to be the creature whose likeness it has assumed. If it can read an opponent’s mind, it gets a further +4 circumstance bonus on Bluff and Disguise checks for trying to act in character to pretend to be the person whose likeness it has assumed.

Assume Equipment (Ex): Beginning at 3rd level, a unbodied can designate a number of pieces of his worn equipment (including armor and weapons) equal to his character level to become incorporeal when he uses his shed body ability (or when he is fully incorporeal after 5th level). This has no effect on the equipment’s function, but now when the unbodied is uncarnate (or incorporeal), he can enter or pass through solid objects while wearing nothing other than the designated equipment. Once designated, the equipment automatically changes to incorporeal when the character sheds his body, and it returns to corporeality when the character does. The character can change his designations as he desires.

(Sandstorm p. 102)
Through the exertion of your will (Wisdom check DC 16), you can create any mundane non-magical object out of sand that supposedly "serves as a normal item of the same sort".
rules from the Sand Shaper PrC, which might help with this

(click to show/hide)

Sand Shape (Sp): All sand shapers know how to magically
sculpt the soil of the waste (generally desert sand,
dust, or gravel) into mundane objects. You can create any
solid object you can imagine, provided you have access
to a sufficient quantity of the appropriate soil and you
can successfully make a caster level check. The DC of
the check is determined by the size and complexity of
the item:
Item Size DC
1 cu. ft. or less –5
1.1–2.0 cu. ft. 0
2.1–4.0 cu. ft. 5
4.1–8.0 cu. ft. 10
8.1–12.0 cu. ft. 15
12.1–16.0 cu. ft. 20
16.1–24.0 cu. ft. 25
24.1–30.0 cu. ft. 30
Item Complexity Modifi er
Fine details +2
Functioning tool +2
Functioning armor/weapon +5
Multiple parts +5
Masterwork version +10
Moving parts +10
For example, Osrutek, a 6th-level wizard/8th-level sand
shaper, decides to use his sand shape ability to create barding
for his horse. The DM determines that the total volume of
the barding is about 6 cubic feet, and so assigns his attempt
a base DC of 10. Because barding is armor (+5), and consists
of multiple parts (+5), the DM assigns an additional +10
modifi er to the DC, bringing it up to 20. Osrutek’s caster
level check bonus is +13, so he must roll a 7 or higher to
complete the barding.
Each attempt to create an item requires a number of
minutes equal to the DC. (Osrutek’s attempt to create horse
barding would require 20 minutes.) You can take 10 on
this check. Created items persist for 10 minutes per sand
shaper level, and can only be solid objects; you cannot use
this ability to create liquids, gases, or living matter. The
objects created have no magical properties, though they
radiate faint transmutation magic.
You can create and maintain a number of objects equal
to your sand shaper level. If you create an additional item,
the item that has been in existence the longest reverts
back to sand. Items you create using this ability otherwise
persist for the duration of this use of the ability, regardless
of their distance from you. If you use the alchemical
item shapesand (see page 102) to create an item, you do
not count that item against your limit, in addition to the
other benefi ts provided by shapesand.
All items created in this fashion have hardness 5 and hit
points according to their size: Fine 1; Diminutive 2; Tiny
3; Small 5; Medium 8; Large 10; Huge 15; Gargantuan 20;
Colossal 25.

(Waterdeep: City of Splendors): At 25g (4.16g self-crafted), this is a DC 15 inhaled poison that lasts 2 rounds - first in a 10ft globe, then in a 20ft globe! Both the primary and secondary effects are unconsciousness (1 min/1d3 mins). DC 15 to create - this is used by Waterdeep's town guard, I think.

Keeps nonmonstrous vermin away, 5' radius, burns for 1 hour. Vermin Ointment (Secrets of Xendrik p. 139, included below) does the same thing and costs 20 GP, but it also affects monstrous vermin if they fail a Fortitude save DC 15.

Grenade-like weapon that does 2d4 damage to plant creatures and auto-kills any non-creature plant that is size medium or smaller in a 5' radius burst, AKA a "Get Out of Entangle Free Card". Since all slimes, molds, and fungi are treated as plants (and are not considered creatures), this item also instantly kills Green Slime, Yellow Mold, Brown Mold (DMG), Snowflake Lichen (Frostburn), Grey Slime, and Bone Fungus (Dungeonscape) in a 5' radius. It also does 2d4 damage to wooden objects, dissolving them like acid, although hardness still applies.

Running into a regenerating creature when the party isn't ready for it can quickly turn into a TPK. While one dose of Alchemist's Fire, Bladefire, or Quickflame might be cheaper, trollbane allows all of a weapon's damage (not just fire/acid) to ignore regeneration. Save this for high-damage single-hit attacks, such as two-handed power-attack leap-attack ubercharger combos.

(Eberron Campaign Setting p. 120)
There are at least two other alchemical items that do electricity damage: Quickspark (Complete Adventurer) and Sparkstone (Arms & Equipment Guide). Alchemist's Spark does a little more damage (1d8) and is the only one that does splash damage. Sparkstone can arc to one adjacent target for half damage, but that works out to 1 damage 66% of the time, so you're better off with Alchemist's Spark anyway. Quickspark may be a little more useful since it can be applied to a weapon as an oil or as a swift action with a Weapon Capsule Retainer, but it can't be thrown on its own.

When exposed to light, this paste screams like a shrieker. This is almost as cool as glowing Jello, and I'd love to come up with more interesting things to do with this, but I can't think of any practical applications other than as a part of an improvised alarm system or anti-theft device.

This is Jello... that glows like a torch. I'm sorry, but that's just too cool not to include. While the dowdy ol' torch may still be the most economical light source at only 1 CP apiece, they're very bulky (each torch weighs a pound). Two pounds of Hearthfire includes 12 cubes, and each cube lasts 24 hours. While an equivalent number of torches would only cost 2.88 GP, they would weigh 288 pounds. Hearthfire doesn't produce any heat and thus can't be used to light anything on fire or as an improvised weapon, but... Glowing Jello!

(Dragonlance Campaign Setting p. 232)
For those of you who want to get on that whole "Braveheart" kink, here you go. This blue body paint provides a +5 natural armor bonus and fast healing 5. Both effects wear off after it heals 20 HP. This makes it difficult to determine just how long it will last, but even at a minimum of four rounds, +5 NA and fast healing 5 from a non-magical source is astounding, if not outright pushing the boundaries of credibility. If you don't take any damage, the +5 NA bonus could last for days/weeks/etc. This is another prime candidate for a Chaos Flask, if you'd rather pay only 100 GP for this item, although this limits the duration to a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom score. It should probably belong in a Type II or Type III Haversack, but I'm including it here as an Honorable Mention because of how obscure the sourcebook is (Dragonlance Campaign Setting was released by a 3rd party publisher but with the official D&D trademark license, not the D20 license) and the price is a lot higher than other alchemical items.

DRUGS

Price: 50 GP
(Lords of Darkness p. 183)
Initial: 1d4 points of damage
Secondary: 1d4+1 enhancement bonus to Int for 1d10+15 minutes
Side: +1 damage to all slashing/piercing attacks while drug is in effect
Overdose: 2d4 points of damage and side effects doubled
Comments: Get yourself a little temp HP (see Sezarad Root below) or a cure light wounds, and this could work as a cheaper alternative to fox's cunning. Stacks well with Mushroom Powder.
Addiction: Low

(click to show/hide)

Price: 6 GP
(Lords of Darkness p. 183)
Initial: 1 point Wis damage
Secondary: +2 alchemical bonus to Str for 1d3 hours
Side: While under drug's effects, user is shaken, and resistance to Intimidate checks reduced to 0 + HD.
Overdose: none
Comments: Almost identical to Devilweed, and likewise easy to counteract, although in this case the side effect is explicitly shaken rather than something like it, so immunities to fear should work. Stacks with bull's strength and Mule Pollen.
Addiction: none

(click to show/hide)

Price: 250 GP
(Lords of Darkness p. 184)
Initial: none
Secondary: +2 untyped bonus to DC for all arcane spells user casts for the next 1d4 hours
Side: 1d6 points Cha damage
Overdose: second dose taken within one hour increases DC bonus to +3, but user takes 2d8 Cha damage. For additonal doses taken within the hour, the user takes additional Cha damage but do not increase DC further.
Comments: Magical effect. Great way for Int-based casters to improve save DCs, and stacks well with Mushroom Powder and Haunspeir.
Addiction: Low

(click to show/hide)

Price: 50 GP
(Lords of Darkness p. 184)
Initial: +4 alchemical bonus to Str and Con, also -2 penalty to AC.
Secondary: User is fatigued. A second dose of Rhul negates the fatigue for 1 minute, but may trigger overdose, and two or more doses of Rhul cause exhaustion.
Side: Will save DC 16 or user cannot make ranged attacks, must use melee attacks.
Overdose: If more than one dose taken in an hour, 1d4 points Int and Wis damage.
Comments: The AC penalty may be something you have to live with, but the fatigue is usually easy to get rid of. Icewild Lichen Paste (Secrets of Sarlona) pairs up nicely, as would any lesser restoration effect. Stacks with bull's strength and Mule Pollen.
Addiction: Medium

(click to show/hide)

Price: 75 GP
(Lords of Darkness p. 184)
Initial: gain 1d8 temp HP
Secondary: gain 1d8 temp HP (these do not stack but overlap the first 1d8), all temp HP wear off in 10 minutes
Side: 1d4 points Wis damage
Overdose: none
Comments: Best used to offset minor damage, such as Haunspeir's initial damage. Other than that... it's cheaper than a potion of aid.
Addiction: Low

The Greyman (or just Grey, he doesn't remember his "real" name) was born the son of a wicked binder. His father, lured by the promise of power by beings ever more remote from the "real" world, eventually came to learn of Pandorym, a sentient doomsday weapon, with its purpose being complete deicide. The boy's father, after repeated failed attempts to summon and bind an aspect of this ancient being, decided to try the age-old practice of human sacrifice to appeal to the remote being. He drew up an inverted summoning circle, and sent his young son through it as a sacrifice to the god-slayer. To his surprise, not long after the boy reappeared, transformed: his skin had turned an ashen grey, and his eyes shone with a sickening light. In his shock, the man offered no resistance as the boy picked up a sacrificial dagger and plunged it into his father's heart.

Then the boy walked out into the world, an orphan with no memory of his past, plagued by nightmares of a being from beyond the stars. Soon the boy began to develop strange powers, the first of which was to become immaterial for brief periods of time, much like a ghost, except the boy's body did not have to die. During these times, he seems to just partially disappear, perhaps shunted off back to the void between the stars with the ancient being Pandorym. The boy, having grown into a man, now roams the world, mostly just watching the machinations of his fellow humans with a growing sense of apathy. He is sometimes duped or hired into helping out with various nefarious (or noble) plots, but mostly goes along because he has nothing better to do. His episodes of "bodilessness" have become more frequent of late, and he is beginning to be concerned that soon he will fade away into nothingness, and become as a ghost.

Immunity to Frightful Presence

Draconic Aspect (heart): breath weapon 2d8 (DC 17 - 10 +1/2 level +6 Con)
A dragonborn who chooses heart as her draconic aspect gains a breath weapon. The breath weapon is a bright, shining line that coruscates with every metallic color. The line's length is 5 feet per Hit Die the dragonborn has, up to a maximum of 100 feet at 20 HD. The breath weapon deals 1d8 points of damage, plus an extra 1d8 points for each 3 HD the dragonborn possesses (2d8 at 3 HD, 3d8 at 6 HD, and so on). The damage can be acid, cold, electricity, or fire, changing on each use as the dragonborn chooses. A successful Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 the dragonborn's HD + her Con modifier) halves the damage. A dragonborn can use her breath weapon once every 1d4 rounds.

Darkvision 60 ft.

30 ft. base speed

Constitution modifier to AC as a Natural Armor bonus

Earth Strike: Once per hour the Mineral Warrior can declare one of its attacks against a foe that stands on stone or earth to be an Earth Strike before rolling as a free action. If he does so, the Mineral Warrior adds its Con bonus (if any) to its attack roll and deals an 1 extra point of damage per HD.

Mineral Skin: The Mineral Warrior gains DR/adamantine equal to 2+half its HD. If it already had (or later gains)  DR/adamantine from another source, increase the higher of them by an extra 2.

Gaardalok is the son of the leader of a tribe of orcs that lived in the desert north of the Whitespike Mountains that came into the world during a solar eclipse. His birth was seen as a sign of a bad omen among the tribe.

In his teen years, he learned that he had abilities related to manipulating the luck of those around him, tipping the odds against them. This was enough to get him banished - after the tribe disposed of his father. He managed to save the father's greatsword -a dark steel blade slightly curved, but not curved enough to be a falchion.

Gaardalok wandered the desert for two years, barely managing to survive, when he found a temple carved in stone.

He was taken in by the temple's acolytes, and through his delusions he saw some of them with dragon heads. After he rested he saw that most of the acolytes in the temple were dragonborn of Bahamut - humanoids that undergo a ritual to become what they are and serve the Platinum Dragon.

The acolytes offer him the chance to perform the ritual and join them. Considering he's got nothing else left aside from death, the half orc accepts the offer. With his rebirth, he shed his old body and name, and assumes a new name - Sckhar. His new body had nothing from his half orc body, but the dark power within him was there, strong as ever. his new body also harnessed the power of the earth, granting him resilience and a stronger skin.

After a few years, Sckhar decides to leave the temple and search for his place in the world - while performing the duties of hunting the evil dragonkind of a servant of Bahamut.

(click to show/hide)

Sckhar is serious. He barely laughs when resting or enjoying a good night in a tavern, and does not smile at all while working. Whenever possible, he will try to be reasonable with others, but he also knows that people feel "more compelled to help" if he uses the certain... stimulus. Most of the time, said stimulus is intimidation, but he is willing to spend a few copper pieces to it...

Even though he is a Dragonborn of Bahamut, sworn hunter of evil dragonkind, Sckhar is not very religious. He does not pray often to his patron, but he knows that Bahamut exists, somehow. He knows he felt something in the Rite of Rebirth, something... pure, powerful. Perhaps it was Bahamut himself shaping his flesh?

    Born into a tribe of orcs and half orcs, Grugruk had it better than many half orcs. He was raised without the ridicule and scorn that usually comes with mixed heritage. It was just too common in his tribe to have both orcish and human blood. Living on the snow covered tundra teaches one to appreciate to power of nature, and as such, his tribe was lead by a trio of powerful shamans. As Grugruk aged, and came into manhood, his affection and skill with the tribes work and hunting dogs got him the moniker "Muttfriend" during his naming ceremony. Soon after the ceremony, Torik, the oldest of the tribe's shamans, came to him. Taking him aside, Torik shared a secret that no one else knew. Soon, Torik would leave and make his final spirit journey. With his death, tribal leadership would be contested as the two other shamans vied for control. No one else in the tribe was strong enough to rebalance the tribe. But after a time, Torik said Grugruk could become strong enough. Torik asked Grugruk to take his hounds and Torik's soon to be masterless dire wolf and leave the tribe. No one would notice his absence right away, not with Torik announcing his spirit walk in the morning. Grugruk was to leave and challenge himself in the world until the spirit world told him he is strong enough to rebalance the tribe.

    That night, Grugruk left. He would face the world and strengthen his body and his magic. When he returned, he would right the tribe and take his place as a leader. Until then, he would travel from the tundra and see as much of the natural world as he could. Along the way, he keeps his eyes open to the signs around him. The spirit world acts in strange ways and he has to be ready for whatever lies ahead.

Spellshaping/Formulae: (See below)

Searing Touch (Sp): Gain fireblast spellshape attack as melee touch attack, using Dex in place of Str for attack. Also, immune to harmful effects of formulae  shaped via Searing Touch.

Flame's Blessing (Ex): Add Cha mod to AC while unarmored and unencumbered (Lose bonus when immobilized or helpless). Also, Resist Fire 10 (5 + 5/2 levels past first); Can breathe normally in smoke and can see through it without penalty.

Blaze (Su): 1/day, gain +4 Cha, +4 Dex, and DR 5/magic for 11 rounds (3 + new Cha mod rounds), then become fatigued until end of encounter.

Burn (Ex): Add +1d6 fire damage to Searing Touch ability; creatures struck by attack also must succeed on a DC 17 Reflex save (DC 10 + 1/2 Shaper Level + Cha mod) or catch fire for 1d4 rounds (taking 1d6 fire damage each round). Creature can attempt DC 15 reflex save by using a move action. Creatures attacking with natural weapons or unarmed strikes also susceptible to Burn. Also, body provides bright light to 15' and shadowy illumination to 30'; Suppress/resume this as a free action.

Secrets of Flame: At 2nd level, and again at 5th, 10th, and 15th level, you choose one arcane circle.  You gain the ability to learn arcane formulae from that circle; however, you do not learn its associated spellshape attack.  When shaping formulae from circles gained through your secrets of flame ability, you shape those formulae as though they had been altered by the Reshape Formula feat, treating them as though they belonged to the Searing Flame circle.  For the purpose of learning formulae from a circle gained in this way, you are treated as knowing the spellshape attack associated with it.
Whenever you gain access to a new circle through this ability, you may choose to learn up to two new formulae from that circle in place of ones you already know, losing the old formulae in exchange for the new ones.

Burning Grace (Su): Starting at 3rd level, you gain a bonus equal to your Charisma modifier on all saving throws.  In addition, whenever you fail a saving throw against a creature's attack or ability, if you didn't roll a 1, that creature takes a number of points of fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier.

Fast Movement (Ex): Starting at 3rd level, you gain +10 ft. enhancement bonus to your land speed (or more, per class level).  You lose this extra speed when wearing armor or carrying a medium or heavy load.

(click to show/hide)

Feats:
1) Improved Initiative - Gain +4 to Initiative checks
F) Circle Focus (Searing Flame) - Gain +1 bonus to saving throws of formulae associated with the chosen Circle.
F) Spellshape Focus - You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make with spellshape attacks.  In addition, your spellshape attacks deal an extra die of damage.
3) Ability Focus (Burn) - Gain a +2 bonus to the saving throw DC of the indicated special ability.

Flaws:
Shaky- Fina is, appropriately enough, hot-tempered, and doesn't have the patience needed to aim a ranged weapon. Besides, she has never been able to get her fire powers to burn at a distance, and has always had more practice in up-close combat. (-2 on ranged attack rolls)

Inattentive- It's not that Fina is especially unaware of her surroundings, per se. More-so, she has a short attention span that keeps her from focusing for long or from noticing anything of note within her surroundings. (-4 on Listen or Spot Perception checks)

Serafina T'Kellan, also known as 'Fina' for short, led a sheltered youth. To this day, she only has vague memories of her parents, having lost them at a young age and subsequently growing up most of her life as an orphan.

She was no older than 5 years old the day of the great fire. Images fade in and out, but Fina recalls the smell of smoke and the panic of her mother. The woman reached out toward the young girl, begging her to go, to get away, as the blazing flames spread throughout the small wooden house. Fear played across her mother's face, and Fina fled, tears streaming down her cheeks. She doesn't remember seeing her father that day, but she can only imagine he shared the same fate as her mother. The house was one of the smaller ones in their village, which itself was fortunately far enough from the forest so that the trees would not also catch aflame. The same could not be said for the other houses. So, at 5 years old, Fina was suddenly alone in the world. Afraid doesn't begin to cover it.

What Fina didn't know was that her father yet lived... to an extent. The man known to be Serafina's biological father was no such thing. He had been an imposter, and Fina had come across his secret. Confused, scared, and hurt, her innate magical power erupted out of her, landing a nasty burn on the man (who then quickly escaped) and resulting in the rest of the blaze. So, in reality, Fina was only truly responsible for one of her parents' deaths.

The young girl managed to make her way to the next nearest village, where she found some measure of comfort and safety. It wouldn't last long, nor would any of the other so-called homes she would stay in over the years. As she grew older, Fina learned to rely on herself. It quickly became apparent that she had, herself, started the fire, as Fina learned that she had some control over flames, and could even create fire from thin air. She tried to ignore the notion that she was the one responsible for so much destruction and devastation, as she came to rely on her fire. It spoke to her, in a figurative sense. Out of everything in the world, her fire was the only thing that made sense, and which gave her any sense of calm. So she moved from place to place, village to city to town, as a nomad with no roots. Over time, she began to hone her talents, careful not to reveal them except in times of dire need. People just wouldn't understand the beauty and majesty of the flame...

(click to show/hide)

Fina is generally distrustful of strangers, having had to provide for herself most of her young life. Years on the streets before finding a lending hand helped shape her psyche. Yet, when she's alone, or generally comfortable, she remains at peace, drawing upon her reserves of inner strength as a flame is given life by the air.

She has a sharp tongue, and isn't afraid to speak boldly with anyone who ignites her emotions. She is passionate and lively, and possesses a thirst for knowledge with a curiosity to sustain it.

His initiator level is equal to his Nuclear Dragon level and he can only learn maneuvers of a level no bigger than half (IL+1).  Every time the Nuclear Dragon successfully damages an opponent with either its bite attack or its Control Rod, he  can recover one expended maneuver.

When the Nuclear Dragon enters a Divine Flame stance, the control rod always forms inside its neck and throat, the plasma shots being released from inside its mouth. It can still use its bite attack.

The Nuclear Dragon can choose and prepare its readied maneuvers with 5 minutes of meditation (or mad euphoria in the wake of its destruction potential). After each battle, 1 minute of meditation is enough to recover his maneuvers if no victims are at hand to be reduced to atoms (allies excluded, even though they may be perfectly combustible).

At 4th level, and every even-numbered level afterwards, the Nuclear Dragon can swap  one of his older maneuvers with a new one he qualifies for from the Divine Flame school.

Initiating a divine flame maneuver grants heat = maneuver level. Divine flame stances also grant heat = level when entered and at the start of each turn. Some maneuvers and all stances grant additional effects for additional heat. For stances the maximum heat/turn is = IL (3).

Heat limit = HD x 2 (6). If this limit is exceeded at any time the character becomes overheated until its heat reaches 0. An overheated character may not recover divine flame maneuvers.

A character cools down at the end of their turn, losing heat = con mod (7)

A Control Rod is a ranged weapon with a 120ft range increment that deals 2d6 Atomic damage at medium size. Control rods may never be fired more than once in an action but their damage is multiplied by the total number of ranged attacks a character would otherwise be entitled to.

Keen senses: At 2nd level the Nuclear dragon sees four times as well as a human in shadowy illumination and twice as well in normal light. It also has darkvision out to 120 feet.

Atomic Breath: 40ft Cone inflicting 1d6 atomic damage per HD (3d6), useable  every 1d4 turns. A Fort save with DC 10+1/2 HD+Con modifier (DC 18) halves the damage. This doesn't deal any damage to objects.

*Crafted by Korth

(click to show/hide)

In his Innocent Form Korth appears as a teenage human boy, big for his age, with a mop of bright red hair and a constantly flushed face. He wears leather armor over simple traveller's clothes and carries a bulging backpack that looks like it might split a seam or cause him to topple over backwards at any moment.

In his Dragon form... he's a Dragon. Brown and red mottled scales, big teeth, claws, wings, etc etc. In cold weather a thin trail of steam continuously rises from his body.

Korth is quite new to this whole switching between forms thing and has not really got the hang of it thus far. He tends to be somewhat clumsy in both humanoid and draconic forms, has in the latter he tends to forget he has wings and a tail and in the former he forgets he doesn't.

The war changed the lives of everyone in Perus. No sentient race or class fully escaped the maelstrom of magical energy or the horrible absence of all magic that followed. No one was untouched but most races at least got to keep their biological processes intact. Not so for Dragonkind. Beings of magic, intimately involved in the massive wieldings that stretched the arcane energies until they broke, the Dragons limped out of the wreckage utterly changed. Among these changes was the surfacing of several entirely new types of Dragon.

Korth is one such. His parents were Red Dragons, born of fire and among those few who recovered some semblance of their innate sorcerous power after the cataclysm. Korth inherited their fiery nature but not their spellcasting. Instead he received something different. Even as a hatchling it was obvious that Korth had a nature that differed from his parents and as he grew he began to manifest strange new powers. He seemed to be able to control an energy that was like fire in its searing destructive potential but was definitely not fire, as it burned clean through his parents thick hide where a jet of lava would merely tickle.

Korth was fascinated by his powers and attempted, to no avail, to find some scrap of Draconic lore that spoke of them. When all the sources of Draconic knowledge he had access to yielded nothing he decided to take his search further afield. He had a feeling that whatever his powers were it was something new and even now the Dragons were not the best people to ask about new things. Humans were good at new. They lived and died in such a tearing hurry that they had to be. Perhaps human scholars would be able to answer some of his questions. In any case, travel in human lands would be an adventure and he would likely find chances to test himself and grow strong.

Kelzan was born the first and only child to Lord Manth Galaren and Lady Ess Galaren. Their territory was thankfully removed from the major destruction of the Elven peoples in it's isolation; for nine months out of the year, it snows, and in the "summer" months it can still freeze cold at night. Life in such an environment is hard on the people, but they have thrived with hard spirits and a total devotion to those "Walkers of the Beyond," their gods. Certainly their worshipped deities are not like the deities worshiped by the other, "common" folk, for their gods were once beings that roamed the earth and were not born in the stars. Kelzan was born on a holy day, and in his youth he learned to shape their blessings even as he learned to hunt.

But during one such ritual, on the celebration of the holy day he was born, his ritual bore gifts from the god to whom they pledged; this deity was Vox, the Faceless Shadow. They had prayed to him, asking him power in overcoming their torment, that one might be brought forth to end the Elven Beast and lead the country back into glory. And Vox came, and blessed Kelzan, and through Kelzan's mouth came words of glory and rebirth, of renewed power and renewed faith. The sign had been shown, that Kelzan was to bear these times to his people, and so it was decided that he would seek out these powers, and these fates.

He left one week after, disguised as a ranger and armed with a fine bow, and the tools of his faith. He followed the one guiding star in the sky, crossed the seas, and has traveled a long while, to find that next sign that might lead him to this fate...

In the short-term:
 - Alchemical arrows are always nice, or perhaps different materials that would be useful.
 - Poisons; Roach Paste, Drow Poison, etc. Lovely to have for an archer...

Mithril chain shirt is always a good and wanted addition.
Teeth of Dalver Nar would be an interesting addition. Specifically:
 - to be added...
Essentia granting items would be nice, though there aren't any that I know of.
Improved versions of his binding implements would be nice (to be found in the Tome of Magic; they simply improve the binding bonus)
