Class Perks and Backgrounds

Fighter

Fighters find their uniqueness in their training. Hailing from different cultures, traditions and barracks, they all have learned their trade differently and with varying priorities.

Some of these backgrounds now have an additional ability activated by chat command. These are 1/day abilities. [INDENT]Body Guard

Man-at-arms

[/hide]

Self-taught
Not every man is so lucky to have a mentor to school them in battle. Some, forced by circumstance, win their martial skill through the teachers of hardship and experience.

/c fighter_perk

Random [-2 - +3] attack decrease/bonus and [-2 - +3] AC decrease/bonus. Lasts 1 turn.

Sellsword

Level 8: +2 Dexterity

/c fighter_perk

Held bow receives +1 attack bonus and +2 mighty property. Lasts 1 turn.

Squire
The children of the wealthy receive a very different sort of warrior's education than the common footman-- one based as much in morality and honor as it is in swordplay and siegecraft.

Level 1: +3 Persuade, Lore, Concentration
Level 5: Disarm
Level 8: +2 Charisma

/c fighter_perk

Squire gains immunity to fear and +2 will. Lasts 5 turns.

/c fighter_perk

Invisibility. Lasts 2 turns.

Vigilante
Champions of the established rule or of their own governance, vigilantes hunt mercilessly any dissenters who stray from the desired path. They are more capable upon familiar grounds, this often being the place they reside.

The Vigilante dashes forward in pursuit, gaining +1 AB and +15% movement speed. Lasts 1 turn.

Watchman
Every settlement from Waterdeep to the hamlet of Pig's Bottom has its guards. These warriors vary as much as the towns they serve-- some are little more than farmer's whelps armed with cudgels, while others more closely resemble a standing army. All have some expertise in watching the walls and bringing low threats from within and without.

Level 1: +4 spot/listen
Level 5: Darkvision is put on worn helmet
Level 8: +2 vs Mind Affecting

/c fighter_perk

Watchman can see invisible creatures. Lasts 2 turns.

Rogue






Rogue on EFU is a very versatile class, able to fill a lot of different roles. Although it works well in combination as a multiclass, the EFU DM team would give this additional incentive to remain pure and help better realize your character's concept through sixteen new perks added specifically for rogues - as a bonus to the selection already available.

Some of them have additional bonuses if you play a pure rogue (PRC allowed), some of them only work if you play pure and all of them are selectable at your leisure from the time you hit the required level (as a rogue).

You may only select two minor perks (level 4 and 6) and one level 8 perk. Once taken, they are yours even if you drop a few levels.

[hide=Minor perks]

Duck
"Some ordeals are simply too much to bear.

Like a spider you prefer to remain still until the moment is right, only then making a decisive strike. Fortune favours the bold they said. They don't say anything anymore."

Bonus: +2 Hide
Pure Bonus: +1 saving throw vs Fire and Cold[

Bonus: +3 Tumble.
Pure Bonus: +5% movement speed.

Scavenger
"Broken-nailed, sootfaced and covered in grime. Surrounded by flies more often than not.

Spymaster

Swashbuckler

Sorcerer  [INDENT]Arcane Mimic - Flexible, powerful and relentless, the Arcane Mimic is born with the unusual ability not to cast spells of his own, but to mimic manifestations of the Weave around him. These bizarre magical phenomena are especially dreaded by more conventional mages, who understand the power of their own spells... and the talent of the Mimic in using these spells against them.

Notice: Bugs are possible, report if found. Spells and abilities themselves should not be changed and are to be considered as they are usually in efu, such as spell targeting. Self-only spells are self-only, and so on. Failure to report bugs such as these and intentional self-benefitting abuse of said bugs , is a valid reason for retirement of the character. Please do not take Craft Wand with Arcane Mimic as there are issues with that, however feel free to take Brew Potion (but do not brew potions that are normally unbrewable).

Level 1:
The sorcerer has no spells of his own.
Steal Spell 1 - There are two possible uses for this spell. Note that in each case, you may not steal a spell of a level higher than half of your total hit die, or greater than your charisma score - 10.
Used on a creature: The previous spell cast by the target creature is stolen and stored. You may not target yourself. You may not steal the same spell again until you've rested.
Used on a potion: You destroy a potion and steal its spell.
Recall Spell 1 - Casts the spell stored by "Steal Spell 1" at your full sorcerer level. A spellcraft check must be made to retain the spell in memory, which increases every time you cast that spell without mimicking a new one. Otherwise the spell is lost.
Sequencer (1 spell) - 1 use/day
10 Spell Resistance

Level 5:
Steal Spell 2 - As Steal Spell 1, but acts on a separate spell slot
Recall Spell 2 - As Recall Spell 1, but acts on a separate spell slot
Sequencer (2 spells) - 1 use/day
12 Spell Resistance

Level 8:
Steal Spell 3 - As Steal Spell 1/2, but acts on a separate spell slot
Recall Spell 3 - As Recall Spell 1/2, but acts on a separate spell slot
Sequencer (3 spells) - 1 use/day
14 Spell Resistance



Bone Warden -The long vigil is the popular name for the service you're known, guarding the tombs of ancient warriors and kings. Somewhat less known is your ordeals into the dark arts of necromancy and the communion with the bones you have in your keep. Now the knuckles of saints and villains alike bend to one man -- you.

Evil only.

Level 1: Animate Dead 2/day player tool. Receive raisable skeleton bones each rest.
Level 5: 3/- DR Slashing and Piercing. Animated minions receive +3 natural AC.
Level 8: 15% Negative Energy Immunity. Attendance at the Court of Bones 2/day.

Attendance at the Court of Bones

Summon two skeleton royal guards. Nearby undead minions receive +2 AB, +2 AC amd regeneration. Lasts 2 turns.

Carrion Feaster - Scorned, reviled, pursued. Even at the end of the world there is room for contempt of those who have embraced survival. While it sickened you at first, you have learnt to go by through doing what others dare not and you feast upon those that stand in your way. Better they nurture someone alive than through ignorance succumbing, either to starvation or the influence of the Dread.

Evil only.

Level 1: Animate Dead 2/day player tool. Standard animate dead creature replaced with a ghoul.
Level 5: Immunity: Disease, +10% movement speed. Consume Corpse player tool 1/day.
Level 8: +2 STR, gloves receive on-hit: ghoul touch. +2 vampiric regeneration and +15% movement speed on animated creatures.

Consume Corpse

Destroy target undead minion and restore your life with 1/4th of the target's hitpoints.

Contriver - To harness the energies of one's innate power is no easy task, especially when one's own well being is at stake. Many arcanists must improvise to survive the dangers adventuring often offers, and the contriver is more than apt at this task. Their ingenuity, experience, and hardiness allows them to make use of a multitude of protective equipment that would bog down most mages.

Level 1: -35% Arcane Spell Failure, Armor Proficiency (Light)
Level 5: +3 Discipline, Armor Proficiency (Medium)
Level 8: +2 Constitution, Shield Proficiency



Cultist - Many powers, fell or strange, find themselves happy to accept fervent worship. Those lucky enough to be born with arcane talent to supplement their presence of self often find it a great boon to assist their object of praise. Thus, the cultist's eagerness gains them a significant advantage in coaxing recruits, escaping those distraught at their beliefs, and calling forth minions relevant to the pursuit of their worship's ends. Whether these ends are nefarious, strange, or otherwise, is ultimately up to the whims of this natural leader.

Level 1: +3 Persuade, +20 Total Maximum Summoning Points
Level 5: Bless (2) 1/day, +1 Universal Saves, Changed to +40 Total Maximum Summoning Points
Level 8: Lesser Planar Binding (9) 1/day, Changed to +60 Total Maximum Summoning Points



Dream Eater - The deepest desires and darkest secrets, the most haunting experiences and worst fears. Dreams create and shape a world of imagination few others ever see. In a world where the sanctuary of dreams has been perverted by the Night Serpent, it is horrifying to know others have learnt to do the same.

Evil only.

Level 1: Immunity: Sleep. Nightmare 1/day.
Level 5: Sleep spell affects 4 + 1d4 HD's worth of more creatures. Nightmare 2/day.
Level 8: 20% Concealment. +2 to Sleep spell DC. Nightmare 3/day.

Nightmare (player tool)

Deals 2d6 + 1/level magical damage to the sleeping target. Heals the sorcerer for half.
Kills a sleeping NPC of hit dice 4 or below.
Provides a random boon.

Hematologist - The idea that the blood is what sparks the talent within many young sorcerers is well known throughout the lands, and some sorcerers take this research to heart, studying the blood of others and pushing the limits of their own. This makes them more privy to the expertise of a physician, for good or ill, while the research is often used to strengthen the sorcerer's own physical form, empowered by what magic courses through their veins.

Level 1: +2 Fortitude Save, Drawn blood can produce magical benefits, Blood Track 5/day player tool (use on PC blood vials)
Level 5: +3 Heal, +1d6 Sneak Attack, Spell Penetration
Level 8: Spell Resistance: 10, 10% Physical Damage Reduction, Blood Expunge 1/day player tool (use on PC blood vial, knockdown effect on blood owner for 2-3 rounds)



Hydromancer -The call of the sea has forever lured adventurers. While those who cross its surface are often attuned to the winds for ease of sailing, there are some who take their path deeper. Like as not followers of the Bitch Queen, it is thought that something within these sorcerers' blood is deeply attuned to the hidden powers of the depths and they grow to be almost as comfortable beneath the surface as above.

Spell modifications:

   
• Ice dagger -- Upon impact, the dagger splits into shards damaging nearby enemy creatures for 1d4 cold damage.
• Burning Hands -- Changed to Gout of Water, dealing cold damage and causing 25% Cold vulnerability for 4 rounds.
• Flame Arrow -- Damage changed to cold.
• Vampiric Touch -- Hand of Umberlee, damage changed to cold and freezes target for 2 rounds.
• Elemental Shield -- Damage shield changed to cold.
• Firebrand -- Damage changed to cold.
• Stoneskin -- VFX changed to cold.

Level 1: Flame Weapon changed to cold. Slow regeneration underwater. Drinking potions restores 1 hp.
Level 5: +1 cold damage. Halves spellcasting penalty underwater. Double water breath duration.
Level 8: 50% Cold Immunity. Negates spellcasting penalty underwater. +10% movement speed underwater.



Infuser -While the potency of electrical charges is widely known within arcane circles, few go the length to investigate the potential for use and storage like the Infusers. Narrowing their innate powers to a specific field they have gained a recklessness few others envy. It is not an uncommon sight when Talos makes his call to find these mad sorcerers holding themselves and objects aloft at high places, devotedly beckoning the Storm Lord's favour.

Spell modifications:

   
• Horizikaul's boom -- Also does 1d4 electrical damage.
• Ice storm -- Cold damage changed to electrical.

Level 1: Flame Weapon changed to electrical. When hit by Electric Jolt or Geedle's Electric Loop the sorcerer is charged up, granting a 1d4 electrical damage shield and 10% movement speed for 2 turns.
Level 5: Rechargable Infuser Orb with 1/charge Electric Jolt, 3/charge Lightning Bolt and 5/charge Scintillating Sphere. Gains 1d3 charges when Electrical Jolt is casted on the item. Max 9 charges.
Level 8: 50% Electrical Immunity. Orb max charges now 18.

The rechargable orb will correctly give you charges for the different spells on first charge-up after a rest. Using any of the spells from the orb until the spell charges reach zero will make you unable to cast more of the same spell, even after charging with electrical jolt. A rest will fix that.

However, as long as you do not deplete the number of spell charges to 0 (not item charges) you can continue to refresh them through charging with electrical jolt. At level 5 this method can only be used for the lightning bolt and electrical jolt spells, as scintillating sphere can only be used once.

Lifestealer - Some magic has the power to scour away the soul and leave a man hollow within. Sorcerers, who often lack the circumspection and understanding of wizards, will occasionally and tragically dabble in such dark fonts of the Arcane without any regard for the price. Though none could possibly accept such a terrible price willingly, those who inadvertently do pay this toll welcome upon themselves a malevolent and relentless hunger which must continually seek the souls and lifeforce of other beings to prevent it from consuming them utterly. It is when this cruel curse intersects and interacts with the innate magical power of the Sorcerer that the wretched Lifestealer is born.

Level 1: Ray of Enfeeblement will apply all stolen strength to the caster as a strength buff for the spell's duration, the sorcerer's equipped weapon has +3 vampiric regeneration.

Level 5: If Negative Energy Burst successfully saps the strength of at least 1 target, the same is applied as a strength bonus to the caster. Negative energy burst no longer drains the caster's strength. Gluttonous Thirst: If you slay an NPC that is not immune to ability drain, you are healed a number of hitpoints equal to your caster level.

Level 8: Enervation applies a +1 bonus to BAB for every 2 levels stolen. This buff effect lasts for 1 turn/level, and is refreshed every time Enervation is cast. This rise in BAB may be sufficient to increase the sorcerer's attacks per round. Does not apply if Enervation is cast on an NPC. Relentless Hunger: If an opponent affected by the spell Negative Energy Protection is hit by one of Negative Energy Ray, Negative Energy Burst, Vampiric Touch, Ray of Enfeeblement or Enervation then the spell will be successfully blocked. However, Negative Energy Protection is dispelled in the process, enabling penetration by any subsequent draining or negative energy spells.



Maiden of Woe (female only) - Broken lips have long since stopped uttering pleas and praise to silence. Now sorrow surround you like a blanket against a dark world, a world in which misery has come with company. The unjudged come at your call and beckon, seeking respite before returning to a plane of a god unresponsive.

Evil only.

Level 1: Negative Energy Ray (3) 5/day. Spirit summoning theme. Spirits are drawn to the sorceress (player tool toggle).
Level 5: 5/- DR Negative Energy. Absorb necromancy spells of level 2 and below. A larger number of spirits are drawn to the sorceress.
Level 8: A ghostly white aura circle the sorceress. 15% Concealment. Upon death, hostile creatures nearby must succeed against a fortitude save of DC 18 + Sorceress' charisma modifier or be cursed. Stronger spirits flock to the sorceress.



Mesmerizing - From beautiful maidens to the smooth tongued, the charismatic presence of the blood-born can seldom be denied. Some find themselves so thoroughly exalted even among others who share their magics, and this reflects in their very visage, offering an arbiter who has immense power over their fellow man.

Level 1: +3 Bluff, +3 Intimidate, +3 Persuade, +5 Appraise
Level 5: Charm player tool 2/day (failed will save makes target confused for 3 + Cha mod rounds, only works on hostile monsters), Charm Person and Dominate Person induce a variety of additional effects, Re-roll failed bluff/persuade rolls automatically once
Level 8: +2 Charisma, Mass Charm (15) 1/day



Ooze Savant - The primordial ooze has always had an occult charm drawing in the impressionable or the mad. As a fervent servant you carry a piece of sentience with you that may once have been a part of this legendary being, your devout purpose to make it grow and make it consume.

Evil only.

Sewer and oozed Lower area bonus:
+4 Hide, +4 Move Silently, 5/+1 damage reduction and slow regeneration.

Spell modifications:

   
• Special Summon Familiar. Disabled until level 5. Can name it with /c name_companion.
• Acid Splash summons the Summon I Slime at target.
• Slimes innate summoning theme.

Level 1: Flame Weapon changed to acid. Player tool to corrode items into a mush usable for the ooze (Gives XP at low levels).
Level 5: Acid Splash 3/day. Can call upon an ooze which can be fed to grow stronger. And bigger. Use the Corrode Tool on the ooze.
Level 8: 50% Acid Immunity. Crumble 1/day.



Planar Bound - Some sorcerers have an ancestry that one way or another is directed towards the higher or lower planes. These arcanists often find it easier to call upon or command allies from a more reflective society and often carry some traits connected to those.

Good/Evil only.

Level 1: Summon Creature 1 1/day token. Summoning theme set depending on alignment (Good: Higher Planes, Lawful-Evil: Devils, Non-lawful evil: Demons).
Level 5: +2 save vs opposite alignment's spells. Light emanates from the sorcerer. Good only: 10% Cold Immunity. Evil only: 10% Fire Immunity.
Level 8: Damage Reduction 5/+1. Good only: +2 wisdom. Evil only: +2 int. Stronger light emanates from the sorcerer.



Positivist - Positivists are those sorcerers who specialize exclusively in the manipulation and control of positive energy. Although such a focus grants access to incredible healing powers and weapons against the undead, it does come at a cost: the inability to conjure other offensive forms of damage.

APPLICATION ONLY

Good only (Exceptions possible via app)

Spell modifications:[/INDENT]  [LIST=1]

   
• All hostile spells are disabled (unless otherwise modified below)
• Flare: Grants 1d4 + [heal skill/5] points of healing - can be cast at a distance

All who were initially in the radius get bursts similar to the Positive Energy Bath - Lesser Restoration + Healing for Positivist's CHA modifier.
• Cloudkill - Regenerative Cloud - Undead must pass a fortitude DC or be banished/destroyed on enter.
• Firebrand - Rain of Positive Energy - 1d6/lvl Healing for every non undead ally in the area, 1d6/lvl positive energy damage to Undead. (Number of bolts is still bound by the regular Firebrand)

Level 5: Sorcerer Token in order to brew healing/restortive brews 5/day (Need the Brew Potion feat in order to use)
Level 8: +1 positive energy to physical attacks, begins to glow, regeneration +1. Receive Rain of Positive Energy Token (Firebrand(4) 1/day)[/INDENT]  [INDENT]

Rotbringer (male only) - In the halls of the shuffling, the strong-legged man is king. Whatever innate power dwells within you, it is clear that it draws the unliving like moths to a flame. Wherever you go there is an army waiting to be raised, ready to follow one who is turning slowly into someone like them.

Evil only.

Level 1: Animate Dead 2/day player tool. Suitable creatures slain come back as special zombies.
Level 5: Negative Energy Ray and Negative Energy Burst heal the sorcerer. Flies start to circle. Animating without a corpse creates two zombies.
Level 8: Negative Energy Burst (5) 2/day. Control Undead 1/day.



Scion - Most bloodborn arcanists realize their origin and fates greater than the ordinary, though a select few of them ever seek to research and harness the power of their past and descendants. Whether that of an ancient race, relation to the draconic, or an ancestry even more obscure, the Scion's body is greatly empowered in many ways in line with what his bloodline and predecessors would sanction. These many peculiar benefits assist him as he uncovers the secrets of the past, and what a Scion's destiny holds henceforth.

Level 1: +1 Natural AC, +1d4 Slashing Damage to unarmed attacks (Needs gauntlets), +3 Lore, +2 Saves VS Traps
Level 5: +1 Attack Bonus, +2 Strength, 2/- physical damage resistance, Changed to +3 Saves VS Traps
Level 8: Changed to +2 Natural AC, Changed to +1d6 Slashing Damage to unarmed attacks (Needs gauntlets), Immunity to Poison, Changed to +4 Saves VS Traps



Spellsword - Uncommonly heard of, and even more rarely practiced, the mages who do combine their magical talent with martial expertise epitomize why this style of combat is often unfounded. Regardless of it's difficulty, a minority of arcanists continue down this path in the pursuit of their own prosperity, offering a unique versatility on the battlefield.

Level 1: Weapon Proficiency (Martial), Weapon Proficiency (Exotic), +1 AB
Level 5: +3 Taunt, +2 Magical Damage on melee & ranged attacks
Level 8: Damage Reduction 5/+1, +1 Dodge AC, AB bonus changed to +2



Stalker - Some sorcerers who discover the ability to withdraw away from the realm of sight become all too comfortable with the solitude, and become drunk upon the secrets that pervade the dark and hidden places of the world. The habit is frightfully addictive, and self-destructive in equal measure. It is a horrible thing for a man to wake up one day, and to forget what it means to have a face...

Level 1: +5 Hide/+5 Move Silently for a PC if medium stature or larger, +2 Hide/+2 Move Silently if small stature or smaller, Camouflage (5) 1 use/day
Level 5: Darkness (3) 3 use/day, -2 WIS, +2 DEX
Level 8: Permanent Invisibility - Every 10 rounds, if the PC is not already invisible, the effect "Invisibility" is applied to them automatically. The PC may not switch this off. Skin irreversibly becomes ashen in tone.



Tribal Shaman - Whether someone who makes their way as a shaman among their tribe, or a witch doctor somewhere else in the wilds, those who bear inherent arcane power are often feared and respected among similarly primitive people. The abilities of these sorcerers give them the tools to allow them to more easily survive their harsh environments and the many inhabitants that stalk them.

Level 1: Animals do not attack you, +5 Hide/+5 Move Silently for a PC if medium stature or larger, +2 Hide/+2 Move Silently if small stature or smaller, One With the Land (7) 1/day
Level 5: +3 Spot, +3 Listen, 10% Elemental Damage Reduction, Tracking Ability
Level 8: +2 Wisdom, Hold Animal (3) 1/day



Unpredictable - Either born from the chaos of Limbo or one who's talents has manifested in a way beyond their understanding, these subjects, willing or not, find their potentially immense powers to be kept in check by their inability to control the erratic ways they become divulged. These sorts of arcanists are often feared by others and themselves alike, unknowing as to what their affliction will cause them to procure next.

Level 1: +3 Intimidate, On Hit Chaos Shield Level 3 (Needs a worn armor of any kind)
Level 5: Spell DC fluctuation, Random element on cast of "Flame Weapon"
Level 8: A Gift of Pandemonium (Contact a DM upon reaching this level with this perk to receive your "gift" from the table. This can possibly permanently end your character)



Witchcraft - Whether one who finds their home within the bogs, or who's hands are oft found clasped around the stirring rod of a cauldron, witches who make their home amongst the Archipelago's numerous exotic herbs and reagents find a welcome boon in their pursuit of creating concoctions that negate their otherwise gossamer and abnormal outward appearance.

Level 1: +5 EFUSS Alchemy, +5 EFUSS Herbalism, +2 VS Disease, Use Poison
Level 5: +5 Spellcraft, + 2 VS Poison
Level 8: Regeneration +1



Zealous Faith - Those who come to the realization that their magic is a god given gift find that their devotion does not go unrewarded. Often, this manifests itself depending on what deity a person will serve, becoming more and more obvious in the magics they call forth. Whatever the origin, their spellcraft becomes empowered to smite the foes of their patron.

Level 1: +2 Divine Save, When cast on oneself, "Magic Weapon" induces an additional +1 divine damage for neutral & good, +1 negative energy damage for evil, Bless (2) 3/day
Level 5: +2 Fear Save, When cast on oneself, "Shield" offers an additional +2 AC, and 50% Damage Immunity to negative energy damage for neutral & good, 50% Damage Immunity to divine damage for evil
Level 8: +2 Will Save, When cast on oneself, the damage of "Flame Weapon" is replaced with divine damage and glow for neutral & good, negative energy damage and glow for evil[/INDENT] Akin to the fighter class implementations:

These are selected from the crafting menu.

Only usable by pure sorcerers, with the exception of PRCs.

Changes are very possible in the future, as well as additional perks.

Please report any bugs here.

Chosen by Ilneval

Half-Orc only.

Most half-orcs are known for their rasher and more physical engagements in communication. While not stupid by any means, the tendency lies in doing what feels right in that moment.

Craven  [INDENT]In the mad scrabble of life, it's not the brave or the wise that lives through the most terrible of catastrophes, it's the Craven. Found among the sewers, bandit camps, or whatever other nooks and crannies they can enjoy survival in, the Craven relies on wits, paranoia, and experience to guide him through a world he or she has likely pissed off one too many times already. It is left to wonder how he or she will use his or her sharpened skills to do so even more, and hopefully get away with it.

Cursed

There are curses in this world not so easily removed. Whether the results of a great grandfather's misdeeds or a decision in your own life, someone has cast a terrible spell upon you that follows you to this day. It is unknown for what end you are intended but whenever death threatens, something awakens within you. Something that will not let you go so easily.

Level 1: 10% Damage Immunity, Cleave feat.
Level 5: 15% Damage Immunity, slow regeneration.
Level 8: 20% Damage Immunity, +2 CON.

Disabled.

Instead, there is a 33% chance that a blow putting you beneath 1 hp will trigger the curse, healing you for half health and transforming you into a terrible raging beast.

Demonbound

Evil only.

Where the monks keep an iron discipline, the savage barbarians rely on their emotions and rage to see them through combat. But there are some who take it further, believing their own strength insufficient. Sacrificing a restful death, they have instead been granted a taste of the abyss to come and bring this power into demonic fury for whatever nefarious ends they seek.

Level 1: 5% Damage Immunity., +2 Intimidate, old Bloody Mess perk.
Level 5: 10% Damage Immunity, 10% immunity to Fire.
Level 8: 15% Damage Immunity, +1 AB vs Good.

+4 STR, +2 CON, 2 Damage Shield: Fire, 10% Fire Immunity, -2 AC.
Duration: 7 rounds + CON mod before raging.

Desert Nomad  [INDENT]Whether a Bedine wanderer or Calishite camel raider, any barbarian who lives and endures the heated wind and freezing nights of the desert can be called a Desert Nomad.

Gore Reaver  [INDENT]Blood is an offering for many a greater being, and the Gore Reaver is an adept at procuring it. A devout of warfare, the Gore Reaver relishes in continuous bloodshed, for either him or herself, or a higher purpose. They are a fearsome upon the battlefield, and known to leave a circle of corpses behind wherever they fight, without regard for their own wounds, for often their craving to rend alone is enough to sustain them.

Jungle Hunter  [INDENT]The lands of Chult require a certain breed of man to survive their many dangers, and the Jungle Hunter is one of the few who brave it. In times of great peril, they can harness their guile to many crafts with great success, including hiding in their environment, heightening their senses, envenoming their weapon, and enduring the terrible toxins of the plethora of dangerous encounters they are sure to face in life.

[/INDENT]

Mad Berserker  [INDENT]The barbarian's concern for their own safety can sometimes be minimal, but some define it in an entirely new way. The mad berserker has little regard for little else than how much violence they can procure when they are enraged... to foes and themselves alike. The lifespans of both are typically abrupt, bloodied weapons in tow.

Level 1: 5% Damage Immunity, Bonus Feat: Cleave
Level 5: 10% Damage Immunity, Bonus Feat: Ambidexterity if base dexterity is 13+
Level 8: 15% Damage Immunity, Defy Death: 50% chance when struck into negative hitpoints to instead heal (level)d4 damage. Once every rest.

Punisher  [INDENT]Engaging in a brutal battle style that is as much about inflicting pain that it is for the enemy to hit you, the Punisher is a master at getting up close and personal with the enemy and returning damage - twicefold. Whether by brawling or through deadly spikes on reinforced armor, few are able to withstand the pain coming when the Punisher is in the field.

[/INDENT]

Salt Raider  [INDENT]Most sailors whisper the names of them with great fear. Ports rue the day they are chosen to be pillaged by pirates who are akin to the Salt Raider. While these viking-like berserkers are oft motivated by avarice, it is a rare case to focus on this trait in lieu of their cruelty and recklessness. Though, fortunately, it isn't unheard of to find one with other desires than utterly terrorizing their victims and looting them dry. Whatever their aim, one can be certain that they are a force to be reckoned with, especially on the high seas.

Sewer Dweller

Thriving in places most shy, whispering tales talk of enigmatic creatures lurking beneath the glamours of cities.

Spirit Caller

Some are attracted to the spirits of the dead, seeking communion through the mediation of shamans to answer questions or reconcile with the lost.

Tribal Guardian  [INDENT]Coming from all cultures and origins, tribal barbarians may not share a common background but all follow the same commitment to tribe and home. Living outside civilization, these nomads have learnt to survive as one with the land.

War Champion  [INDENT]No matter the race or culture, the barbarian knows the calling of war as much as the war's sides know the need for leaders and heroes. Whether the War Champion is a hero of legend or a fresh recruit with a charismatic presence on the battlefield, the simple action of charging beside he or she on the battlefield alone is enough to inspire a comrade, whatever the cause.

[/INDENT]

Withering's Clutch  [INDENT]Many upon Ymph fear the withering's effects, though some seek it as a means of self-empowerment. The touch of the maiden is most commonly feared, but a select few seek it as a means to enhance themselves in untold ways, much to the dismay of the living upon the isle. Whether it is used by a cultist eager to serve the maiden, or someone who simply endures it to get by, it is an effective, while wretched condition. Yet with every breath they take as a creature in the embrace of undeath, so do they attract the ire of the celestial.

Have fun!

Have fun!

[Talir]

Until further notice, the bard perks have been disabled.

[hide=Disabled Bard Perks]

Bard

    [INDENT]Blade
You are a master artisan with your weapon, as much a performer as a warrior. You made your trade at festivals and carnivals as a sword swallower and knife juggler. You jump and spin with your weapon in an impressive and intimidating display, or in a slow and graceful dance. If there is a showy way to wield, throw, or display a weapon, nobody knows it better than you.  [INDENT]- Song: Excelion's Excellent Introduction.
- Perk: Cleave feat.[/INDENT]

Cantor (Good only)
Once you led the gospel at your deity's church or temple, singing harmony to soothe and inspire the following. Now at the end of all days you are a shining light in a world cast to darkness, bringing hope and praise in the name of a deity that may be dead.  [INDENT]- Song: Holy Canticle of the Righteous.
- Perk: Bless is bestowed the bard on singing.[/INDENT]

Dwarven Barreller (Dwarf only)
You enjoy the finer things in life. A hearty laugh, a goblin to clobber, and a barrel of dwarven ale. The most whimsical of dwarves, you are still stout and dependable and your brothers are always glad to have you along to brighten the dark tunnels of the mines.  [INDENT]- Song: Hennrick Hammerhand's Song of the Deep.
- Perk: Heavy Armor Proficiency.[/INDENT]

Gypsy
You are of the Gur, the Bedine, or perhaps the Argenti. To live is to take what you can and run with it, stand tall when you must, or flee to survive. You have learned the stories and songs of your people and family, walked the long path and lived a life of free soul - and whether it was questionable or honorable in the eyes of others, you are free to do what you like.  [INDENT]- Song: Macasta's Ballad of the Bandit Princess.
- Perk: +10% Movement Speed.[/INDENT]

Jack of All Trades
The True Bard, versatile but a master of no craft. You can wield all weapons, wear most armor, cast spells, and employ the thief's arsenal of skills. You are an entertainer, a storyteller, a singer, a lore keeper and when the mood strikes, you are not one to be held back.  [INDENT]- Song: Calley Olwyn's Swift Seekings
- Perk: Weapon Proficiency: Martial.[/INDENT]

Jester
You are the fool, the clown, the buffoon. Everything is a joke, including yourself! You are the comedian who raises morale, entertain, and crafts scapegoats for the world's problems. Mirth and merriment are your bread and butter and you like it slathered on thick.  [INDENT]- Song: Gnomish party Song.
- Perk: Receive a throwable object each reset.[/INDENT]

Loremaster
Ancient scrolls and dusty tomes are old friends to the ones who seek the most secret and hidden lore. While your oration and tone may be as dry as what you pursue, the knowledge found inspire further progress.  [INDENT]- Song: Esoterotept's Esoteric Expression of Examination.
- Perk: Gain XP for translating ancient texts.[/INDENT]

Minstrel
You are a musician, a master of the lute, flute, horn, or even cowbell. Making your living supplying festivity at ins and for crowds, there is nothing more joyous than the music you've written to inspire others. Your value as an entertainer is known and appreciated by all.  [INDENT]- Song: Goldbrick's Golden Glories.
- Perk: Free resting at inns.[/INDENT]

Orator
Few are those born with such vocal force that rivets attention with every word. The power to turn a crowd to one's own agenda is comparable to the highest spells and most deadly weapons, a power you are well on your way to master.  [INDENT]- Song: Bhast's Honeyed Tongue.
- Perk: Re-roll failed bluff and persuade checks.[/INDENT]

Piper
Exposed to destitution at a young age, for years your only friends were the rats salvaging the garbage alongside you. Their squeaks and scratching turned to melody in your ears and soon you joined the orchestra, quickly becoming the conductor playing the pipe. Animals have ever since found harmony in your songs but it is the friends who started it all who have come with you all the way.  [INDENT]- Song: Wild Pipings of the Rat Prince.
- Perk: Animals don't attack you.[/INDENT]

Skald
Honored and respected, you are the warrior-bard. You travel and fight alongside your fellows, seeking adventure and acclaim and then immortalizing them and yourself through songs and poetry. Woe be to the one who maligns you for they will find themselves slandered as villains for the world to know.  [INDENT]- Song: Saga of the Grey Mist Raiders.
- Perk: 5% Immunity to slashing and cold damage.[/INDENT]

Spellsinger
Some bards sacrifice their spellcasting flexibility for sturdier armors. Spellsingers have learnt to make use of leather without incurring penalties, and have an easier time casting spells in the heavier variants if they are daring enough.  [INDENT]- Song: Spellsong's Chant.
- Perk: -15% Arcane Spell Failure on armor.[/INDENT]

Spirit Chanter (Evil only)
From an early age you've always felt that you were never quite alone. Restless voices whispered to you in tranquil moments, their grief beckoning your inquiry. Now you sing for spirits only you see, voice tingling with the undertones of the incorporeal.  [INDENT]- Song: Dirge of the Tormented.
- Perk: 2/- Negative Energy DR.[/INDENT]

Troubadour
You are the romantic poet, the chivalrous writer. Nobody espouses the ideals of pure heart and true love as you. Even in these darks days, there is love to be found, and you will find it. You will nurture and protect it and bring it back into the world through poetry and song.  [INDENT]- Song: Christopher Donrick's Ballad to Beauty.
- Perk: 4gp wage while within an inn.[/INDENT] [/INDENT]
