Gilbert Percy Gilane a.k.a The Crimson With a sigh, Gilbert moved to where Kelly had mentioned seeing something invisible. Naturally, there was nothing to be seen from his perspective, but he trusted his companion's words. Without preamble, he pulled the pistol on his hip, a single ring of runes lighting up before the barrel and fired. The shot seemed to scatter into a million motes of sunlight as they blanketed the area. He waited for a long moment, wondering what might be uncovered.

Stargazer The Mother Cure spells have Stargazer levels (2) added to hp healed. Zen takes a deep breath and, wrapped in fog and mist, she barrels down the stairs and onto the lower deck. The fog around her and the smoke, which her mist somewhat protects her from, seem like imaginary wisps to her eyes on account of the Goz Mask she is wearing. Seeing four sources of flame, she places herself between them, the mist shielding her from the heat as well. She looks on as her Saltspray Ring extinguishes the fire. She says nothing, not wanting to give up on holding her breath.

Peggy Mae Stubbs was as cool a cucumber as you can find in the Wastes. But as she stared at the navigation panel that was now blank, her eyes could still see the traces lines of the mesas that surrounded them. "Damn it all to hells, Gilane, this wasn't me. And no Kelly, I can't!" Hells was as close to a curse as she ever threw at a friend, and using Gilbert's last name was the rare tell that something was seriously wrong. "Find whatever fiery hornet is wreaking havoc on our girl, and do it fast." Peggy scrambled for her tool bag and sped past everyone to head to the engine, hollering as she went. "We're a kite in the wind. And we'll be smashed to bits if the dust kicks up. Ain't no guns gonna tell them rocks we belong in their ridges." Heat met her skin before her eyes could take in the damage. Both chilled her to her core. It was an inferno, and it was killing Attie. In her youth, Margaret was a farm girl. She planted seeds in the dry Waste fields, walked on cracked earth while the adults begged the land to grow. She had learned to dance with the summer heat in those years, pull the gentle breezes to her to keep herself cool, and she used that ability now. She closed her eyes and stretched out her arms, fingers dancing to a song only the wind could hear, and it answered her call. In no time a whirl of cold smoke spun around her toned arms, until she pushed the palms of her hands forward, washing the wind over the first blaze she confronted.

A condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus to AC also makes you lose the benefits of this feat., Improved Unarmed StrikeYou are considered to be armed even when unarmed-you do not provoke attacks of opportunity when you attack foes while unarmed. Your unarmed strikes can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, at your choice., Stunning FistYou must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next turn). A stunned character drops everything held, can't take actions, loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, and takes a -2 penalty to AC. You may attempt a stunning attack once per day for every four levels you have attained (but see Special), and no more than once per round. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be stunned., Weapon Focus - Unarmed StrikeYou gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon., Improved GrappleYou do not provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a grapple combat maneuver. In addition, you receive a +2 bonus on checks made to grapple a foe. You also receive a +2 bonus to your Combat Maneuver Defense whenever an opponent tries to grapple you., Combat ReflexesYou may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus. With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed., Extra KiYour ki pool increases by 2., Deflect ArrowsYou must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this feat. Once per round when you would normally be hit with an attack from a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. Attempting to deflect a ranged attack doesn't count as an action. Unusually massive ranged weapons (such as boulders or ballista bolts) and ranged attacks generated by natural attacks or spell effects can't be deflected, Stand StillWhen a foe provokes an attack of opportunity due to moving through your adjacent squares, you can make a combat maneuver check as your attack of opportunity. If successful, the enemy cannot move for the rest of his turn. An enemy can still take the rest of his action, but cannot move. This feat also applies to any creature that attempts to move from a square that is adjacent to you if such movement provokes an attack of opportunity. Class Features Flurry of BlowsAt 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When making a flurry of blows, the monk can make one additional attack at his highest base attack bonus. This additional attack stacks with the bonus attacks from haste and other similar effects. When using this ability, the monk can make these attacks with any combination of his unarmed strikes and weapons that have the monk special weapon quality. He takes no penalty for using multiple weapons when making a flurry of blows, but he does not gain any additional attacks beyond what’s already granted by the flurry for doing so. (He can still gain additional attacks from a high base attack bonus, from this ability, and from haste and similar effects). At 11th level, a monk can make an additional attack at his highest base attack bonus whenever he makes a flurry of blows. This stacks with the first attack from this ability and additional attacks from haste and similar effects., Non-Lethal StrikeA softstrike monk focuses on blows that do not inflict deadly harm. When a softstrike monk deals nonlethal damage with his unarmed strikes, his monk level is treated as 4 levels higher for the purposes of determining the damage he deals (to a maximum of 4d8 at 20th level for a Medium monk). When dealing lethal damage with his unarmed strikes, his monk level is treated as if it were 4 levels lower (minimum 1st level) for the purpose of determining damage. This alters unarmed strike., Feather TouchA softstrike monk does not take the normal –4 penalty on attack rolls for using a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage. In addition, he can use his stunning fist ability while making a nonlethal attack with a weapon., Tenet of LifeThough a softstrike monk accepts that death may happen in combat, he cannot abide killing in cold blood. If he slays an unconscious or helpless living foe, or merely stands by and allows such a killing to occur, he becomes shaken for 1 hour. In addition, the act disrupts the softstrike monk’s ki; if he has a ki pool, he loses a number of ki points equal to half his level, as if they had been spent., EvasionAt 2nd level, a monk can avoid damage from many area-effect attacks. If a monk succeeds at a Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of evasion., Fast MovementAt 3rd level, a monk gains an enhancement bonus to his land speed, as shown on Table: Monk Unchained. A monk in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed., Ki Pool (9)At 3rd level, a monk gains a pool of ki points, supernatural energy he can use to accomplish amazing feats. The number of points in a monk’s ki pool is equal to 1/2 his monk level + his Wisdom modifier. As long as he has at least 1 point in his ki pool, he can make a ki strike. By spending 1 point from his ki pool as a swift action, a monk can make one additional unarmed strike at his highest attack bonus when making a flurry of blows attack. This bonus attack stacks with all bonus attacks gained from flurry of blows, as well as those from haste and similar effects. A monk gains additional powers that consume points from his ki pool as he gains levels. The ki pool is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation; these hours do not need to be consecutive., Ki Strike (Magic)At 3rd level, ki strike allows his unarmed attacks to be treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 10th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as lawful weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 16th level, his unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and bypassing hardness., Ki Power - Zephyr Blow (1ki)At 4th level and every 2 levels thereafter, a monk can select one ki power. These powers allow the monk to perform amazing feats of mystical power and acrobatic prowess by expending points from his ki pool. Once a ki power is selected, it cannot be changed. Some ki powers require the monk to be of a specific level or higher before they can be chosen. Zephyr Blow (Su): By spending 1 ki point as a standard action, a monk with this power can disrupt the wind and create a sharp blast of air, as if using the spell gust of wind. The monk’s caster level for this effect is equal to his monk level., Still MindAt 4th level, a monk gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells and effects., Purity of BodyAt 5th level, a monk gains immunity to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases., Style Strike - Stomp FootAt 5th level, a monk can learn one type of style strike. Whenever he makes a flurry of blows, he can designate one of his unarmed strikes as a style strike. This attack is resolved as normal, but it has an additional effect depending on the type of strike chosen. At 9th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, a monk learns an additional style strike. He must choose which style strike to apply before the attack roll is made. At 15th level, he can designate up to two of his unarmed strikes each round as a style strike, and each one can be a different type. The monk can choose from any of the following strikes. Foot Stomp: The monk stomps on a foe’s foot, preventing the opponent from escaping. If the attack hits and the monk ends his turn adjacent to that foe, the foe’s movement is restricted. Until the start of the monk’s next turn, the target of this attack can move only in such a way that the space it occupies is adjacent to the monk. Alternatively, it can attempt a combat maneuver check (against the monk’s CMD) as a standard action to break free. This strike does not work against foes that cannot be tripped. The monk must attack with a kick to use this style strike., Life Giving BlowsAt 6th level, a softstrike monk can force a piece of his life force into a nonliving creature to disrupt its animating essence. If he hits an undead foe with an unarmed attack, he can spend 1 ki point as a free action to remove the target’s immunity to nonlethal damage for a number of minutes equal to his Wisdom modifier. If, during this time, the target’s nonlethal damage exceeds its current hit points, it is destroyed. At 10th level, a softstrike monk can also use this ability against constructs. This replaces the bonus feats gained at 6th and 10th levels., Ki Power - Qinggong Power (Barkskin, 1 ki)Qinggong Power (Su): A monk with this power selects any of the qinggong monk ki powers for which he qualifies based on his monk level. A monk can select this ability multiple times. Each time, he must select a different qinggong monk ki power. Barkskin Duration 10 min./level Barkskin toughens a creature’s skin. The effect grants a +2 enhancement bonus to the creature’s existing natural armor bonus. This enhancement bonus increases by 1 for every three caster levels above 3rd, to a maximum of +5 at 12th level. The enhancement bonus provided by barkskin stacks with the target’s natural armor bonus, but not with other enhancement bonuses to natural armor. A creature without natural armor has an effective natural armor bonus of +0., Ki Strike (Cold Iron/Silver)At 7th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as cold iron and silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Equipment cash on hand $3,700 Handy HaversackA backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds. While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does., Eyes of the EagleThese lenses are made of special crystal and fit over the eyes of the wearer. They grant a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks. Both lenses must be worn to gain the benefit. Wearing only one causes a character to become dizzy and stunned for 1 round., Monk's RobeWhen worn, this simple brown robe confers great ability in unarmed combat. If the wearer has levels in monk, her AC and unarmed damage is treated as a monk of five levels higher. If donned by a character with the Stunning Fist feat, the robe lets her make one additional stunning attack per day. , Traveler's Any ToolThis implement at first seems to be nothing but a 12-inch iron bar lined with small plates and spikes. It can be folded, twisted, hinged, and bent, to form almost any known tool. Hammers, shovels, even a block and tackle (without rope) are possible. It can duplicate any tool the wielder can clearly visualize that contains only limited moving parts, such as a pair of scissors, but not a handloom. It cannot be used to replace missing or broken parts of machines or vehicles unless a mundane tool would have done the job just as well. The any-tool counts as a set of masterwork artisan’s tools for most Craft or Profession skills (although very specialist crafts such as alchemy still require their own unique toolset). It is an ineffective weapon, always counting as an improvised weapon and never granting any masterwork bonus on attack rolls. Masterwork Mechanics Tools

"I have no idea what's going on aside from it's below us and there's fire involved.", she remarks, while disappearing into a column of fog, having activated her saltspray ring. She is, as usual carrying her staff of magic missiles.

Gilbert Percy Gilane a.k.a The Crimson Gilbert flipped the page of the book he'd been reading in the small study on the Atlas Wake when an explosion caused him to fall out of his chair. The lanky man unceremoniously clattered to the floor in like a pile of wet laundry as Kelly rushed past, small metallic trinkets spilling from his pockets to roll about as the ship listed slightly. With a sigh, Gilbert picked himself up, dusted himself off, and placed the book he had been intently critiquing back on the shelf. Another explosion caused him to sway, but this time he was able to stabilize himself. "I believe the epicenter of the explosion transpired from within the confines of the lower decks." Gilbert followed Kelly out of the room, adjusting his waistcoat. "Might I suggest we seek the opinion and expertise of a mechanic to investigate this matter further?" His eyes turned to Peggy and he raised an eyebrow. "While I trust you to tend to our girl's needs with all due diligence, please don't tell me you failed to ensure the crystal pinons had sufficient lubrication...again." While Gilbert was no expert, he had picked up more than his share of knowledge about the inner workings of the Atlas Wake while Peggy required him to hand her random tools she used to keep the ship maintained. And he certainly never let her forget the one time she had forgotten to do so.

Kelly can see that the aft lower deck is on fire with one of the doorways blown open. He is also able to see a hazy shimmering heat distortion just outside the ship. He's not sure but he has a hunch that it's humanoid in shape. (As per the invisible creature rules).

This stacks with the first attack from this ability and additional attacks from haste and similar effects., Non-Lethal StrikeA softstrike monk focuses on blows that do not inflict deadly harm. When a softstrike monk deals nonlethal damage with his unarmed strikes, his monk level is treated as 4 levels higher for the purposes of determining the damage he deals (to a maximum of 4d8 at 20th level for a Medium monk). When dealing lethal damage with his unarmed strikes, his monk level is treated as if it were 4 levels lower (minimum 1st level) for the purpose of determining damage. This alters unarmed strike., Feather TouchA softstrike monk does not take the normal –4 penalty on attack rolls for using a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage. In addition, he can use his stunning fist ability while making a nonlethal attack with a weapon., Tenet of LifeThough a softstrike monk accepts that death may happen in combat, he cannot abide killing in cold blood.

In addition, the act disrupts the softstrike monk’s ki; if he has a ki pool, he loses a number of ki points equal to half his level, as if they had been spent., EvasionAt 2nd level, a monk can avoid damage from many area-effect attacks. If a monk succeeds at a Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of evasion., Fast MovementAt 3rd level, a monk gains an enhancement bonus to his land speed, as shown on Table: Monk Unchained. A monk in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed., Ki Pool (9)At 3rd level, a monk gains a pool of ki points, supernatural energy he can use to accomplish amazing feats. The number of points in a monk’s ki pool is equal to 1/2 his monk level + his Wisdom modifier. As long as he has at least 1 point in his ki pool, he can make a ki strike. By spending 1 point from his ki pool as a swift action, a monk can make one additional unarmed strike at his highest attack bonus when making a flurry of blows attack. This bonus attack stacks with all bonus attacks gained from flurry of blows, as well as those from haste and similar effects. A monk gains additional powers that consume points from his ki pool as he gains levels. The ki pool is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation; these hours do not need to be consecutive., Ki Strike (Magic)At 3rd level, ki strike allows his unarmed attacks to be treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 10th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as lawful weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 16th level, his unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and bypassing hardness., Ki Power - Zephyr Blow (1ki)At 4th level and every 2 levels thereafter, a monk can select one ki power. These powers allow the monk to perform amazing feats of mystical power and acrobatic prowess by expending points from his ki pool. Once a ki power is selected, it cannot be changed. Some ki powers require the monk to be of a specific level or higher before they can be chosen. Zephyr Blow (Su): By spending 1 ki point as a standard action, a monk with this power can disrupt the wind and create a sharp blast of air, as if using the spell gust of wind. The monk’s caster level for this effect is equal to his monk level., Still MindAt 4th level, a monk gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells and effects., Purity of BodyAt 5th level, a monk gains immunity to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases., Style Strike - Stomp FootAt 5th level, a monk can learn one type of style strike. Whenever he makes a flurry of blows, he can designate one of his unarmed strikes as a style strike. This attack is resolved as normal, but it has an additional effect depending on the type of strike chosen. At 9th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, a monk learns an additional style strike. He must choose which style strike to apply before the attack roll is made. At 15th level, he can designate up to two of his unarmed strikes each round as a style strike, and each one can be a different type. The monk can choose from any of the following strikes. Foot Stomp: The monk stomps on a foe’s foot, preventing the opponent from escaping. If the attack hits and the monk ends his turn adjacent to that foe, the foe’s movement is restricted. Until the start of the monk’s next turn, the target of this attack can move only in such a way that the space it occupies is adjacent to the monk. Alternatively, it can attempt a combat maneuver check (against the monk’s CMD) as a standard action to break free. This strike does not work against foes that cannot be tripped. The monk must attack with a kick to use this style strike., Life Giving BlowsAt 6th level, a softstrike monk can force a piece of his life force into a nonliving creature to disrupt its animating essence. If he hits an undead foe with an unarmed attack, he can spend 1 ki point as a free action to remove the target’s immunity to nonlethal damage for a number of minutes equal to his Wisdom modifier. If, during this time, the target’s nonlethal damage exceeds its current hit points, it is destroyed. At 10th level, a softstrike monk can also use this ability against constructs. This replaces the bonus feats gained at 6th and 10th levels., Ki Power - Qinggong Power (Barkskin, 1 ki)Qinggong Power (Su): A monk with this power selects any of the qinggong monk ki powers for which he qualifies based on his monk level. A monk can select this ability multiple times. Each time, he must select a different qinggong monk ki power. Barkskin Duration 10 min./level Barkskin toughens a creature’s skin. The effect grants a +2 enhancement bonus to the creature’s existing natural armor bonus. This enhancement bonus increases by 1 for every three caster levels above 3rd, to a maximum of +5 at 12th level. The enhancement bonus provided by barkskin stacks with the target’s natural armor bonus, but not with other enhancement bonuses to natural armor. A creature without natural armor has an effective natural armor bonus of +0., Ki Strike (Cold Iron/Silver)At 7th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as cold iron and silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Equipment cash on hand $3,700 Handy HaversackA backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds. While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does., Eyes of the EagleThese lenses are made of special crystal and fit over the eyes of the wearer. They grant a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks. Both lenses must be worn to gain the benefit. Wearing only one causes a character to become dizzy and stunned for 1 round., Monk's RobeWhen worn, this simple brown robe confers great ability in unarmed combat. If the wearer has levels in monk, her AC and unarmed damage is treated as a monk of five levels higher. If donned by a character with the Stunning Fist feat, the robe lets her make one additional stunning attack per day. , Traveler's Any ToolThis implement at first seems to be nothing but a 12-inch iron bar lined with small plates and spikes. It can be folded, twisted, hinged, and bent, to form almost any known tool. Hammers, shovels, even a block and tackle (without rope) are possible. It can duplicate any tool the wielder can clearly visualize that contains only limited moving parts, such as a pair of scissors, but not a handloom. It cannot be used to replace missing or broken parts of machines or vehicles unless a mundane tool would have done the job just as well. The any-tool counts as a set of masterwork artisan’s tools for most Craft or Profession skills (although very specialist crafts such as alchemy still require their own unique toolset). It is an ineffective weapon, always counting as an improvised weapon and never granting any masterwork bonus on attack rolls. Masterwork Mechanics Tools

Kelly Paxton At the sound, Kelly rushes forward towards the rest of the group, calling out as he goes: "What's going on?". Given the chorus of confused interrogations simultaneous to his own, he deduces quickly that no one is the wiser. He opens his mind's eye to peer below deck, evaluate the damage and whether it is safe enough to head there. He relays what he sees, telepathically through Tak so it reaches everyone and cuts through the noise. OOC Move, talk Manifest Clairvoyant Sense (3 PP) to create a sensor near the (estimated) location of the explosion. Perception 30 The basic questions are: how big is the fire?

Rather than wait any longer, I moved Mary's token onto the ship with the rest of the crew. Round 1: Begin! Also, the ship is on fire .

The Atlas Wake is a few miles out of town. You are just returning from a milk run job, delivering a cargo shipment to a nearby encampment. It's not specifically profitable but it does earn some parts that Peggy has been needing for the ship for a little while to fix a little problem before it becomes a big problem. All in all, it's a bit break even but it did get you out of town to stretch your legs a bit. Everyone is in their usual places when there is the *Wump* sound of an explosion below decks and the smell of smoke wafts up into the air. The party has initiative!

The Wastes had not finished him off and so the resulting carnage, committed by his hand seemingly, or just made to look that was partly her doing. The only upside seemed to be that the violence had been thug on thug. She shakes her head when conversation turns to purchases. "Love you too Kelly, but yeah.. going to save my groats until I can afford something good. Actually wondering if my staff can be upgraded to provide a bit more bite."

Kelly Paxton It's touch-and-go for a while, and the canyon resonates with their curses as a few ropes snap and some of the precious loot flies away, never to be seen again. But suddenly they just come together. With barely a few words exchanged, they start working as one - detecting and reporting weight imbalances and overly strained ropes, running to assist the person about to be overwhelmed, producing an extra rope seemingly out of nowhere and threading it just in the right place... until suddenly their bounty is secured. Kelly wipes his hands, then the sweat off his forehead with a kerchief. "This. This is why I just lurv you guys. Except maybe you, Percy. I mean, Maximilian. Gilbert. Whatever." Kelly announces with his best shit-eating grin. "So, what are y'all going to do with the dollars?" he asks, in the time-tested way people have of spending money in their imagination before it's fully in their pocket.

Although a few keels are lost to the sky, the team manages to secure enough for a significant payout. Peggy even has to load some boulders underslung on the AW as ballast to keep it from having trouble. Sailing back to town is slow going as the ship's balance is so uneven and the rigging to keep it all in place is tenuous, but you eventually get there. First stopping at the salvagers, the keels and the cargo are off loaded and prices are haggled over for over an hour. A price is reached at $8000 for the keels and $4000 for the rare furniture and accessories. $12,000 is arranged at the bank and Sal's ship is returned to his sole ownership. The party has some time to kill and full pockets. Do you go shopping?

Mary reflex

Let's reflex upon this

Ah.. the cash is slipping away like water through a sieve..

suddenly...reflex.

Peggy's reflex on keel hauling. Remember she had evasion, if that helps.

Challenge! The team gets down with cutters and torches to work the keels free from the wrecks. Blocks and tackle is secured to each keel to catch it as it tries to fly free. There is always the dangerous transition point when a keel finally breaks free and the winches have to be operated properly to keep the keels from snapping the lines. The party begins with a pool of $10,000. Each party member must make a DC 22 reflex save to retain part of that pot. Failure means that $2,000 is lost from the pot. Each person must make their own save, you can't make it for another. This is an aggregate of the teamwork already taking place.

A condition that makes you lose your Dex bonus to AC also makes you lose the benefits of this feat., Improved Unarmed StrikeYou are considered to be armed even when unarmed-you do not provoke attacks of opportunity when you attack foes while unarmed. Your unarmed strikes can deal lethal or nonlethal damage, at your choice., Stunning FistYou must declare that you are using this feat before you make your attack roll (thus, a failed attack roll ruins the attempt). Stunning Fist forces a foe damaged by your unarmed attack to make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + 1/2 your character level + your Wis modifier), in addition to dealing damage normally. A defender who fails this saving throw is stunned for 1 round (until just before your next turn). A stunned character drops everything held, can't take actions, loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, and takes a -2 penalty to AC. You may attempt a stunning attack once per day for every four levels you have attained (but see Special), and no more than once per round. Constructs, oozes, plants, undead, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to critical hits cannot be stunned., Weapon Focus - Unarmed StrikeYou gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon., Improved GrappleYou do not provoke an attack of opportunity when performing a grapple combat maneuver. In addition, you receive a +2 bonus on checks made to grapple a foe. You also receive a +2 bonus to your Combat Maneuver Defense whenever an opponent tries to grapple you., Combat ReflexesYou may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus. With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed., Extra KiYour ki pool increases by 2., Deflect ArrowsYou must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this feat. Once per round when you would normally be hit with an attack from a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. Attempting to deflect a ranged attack doesn't count as an action. Unusually massive ranged weapons (such as boulders or ballista bolts) and ranged attacks generated by natural attacks or spell effects can't be deflected, Stand StillWhen a foe provokes an attack of opportunity due to moving through your adjacent squares, you can make a combat maneuver check as your attack of opportunity. If successful, the enemy cannot move for the rest of his turn. An enemy can still take the rest of his action, but cannot move. This feat also applies to any creature that attempts to move from a square that is adjacent to you if such movement provokes an attack of opportunity. Class Features Flurry of BlowsAt 1st level, a monk can make a flurry of blows as a full-attack action. When making a flurry of blows, the monk can make one additional attack at his highest base attack bonus. This additional attack stacks with the bonus attacks from haste and other similar effects. When using this ability, the monk can make these attacks with any combination of his unarmed strikes and weapons that have the monk special weapon quality. He takes no penalty for using multiple weapons when making a flurry of blows, but he does not gain any additional attacks beyond what’s already granted by the flurry for doing so. (He can still gain additional attacks from a high base attack bonus, from this ability, and from haste and similar effects). At 11th level, a monk can make an additional attack at his highest base attack bonus whenever he makes a flurry of blows. This stacks with the first attack from this ability and additional attacks from haste and similar effects., Non-Lethal StrikeA softstrike monk focuses on blows that do not inflict deadly harm. When a softstrike monk deals nonlethal damage with his unarmed strikes, his monk level is treated as 4 levels higher for the purposes of determining the damage he deals (to a maximum of 4d8 at 20th level for a Medium monk). When dealing lethal damage with his unarmed strikes, his monk level is treated as if it were 4 levels lower (minimum 1st level) for the purpose of determining damage. This alters unarmed strike., Feather TouchA softstrike monk does not take the normal –4 penalty on attack rolls for using a lethal weapon to deal nonlethal damage. In addition, he can use his stunning fist ability while making a nonlethal attack with a weapon., Tenet of LifeThough a softstrike monk accepts that death may happen in combat, he cannot abide killing in cold blood. If he slays an unconscious or helpless living foe, or merely stands by and allows such a killing to occur, he becomes shaken for 1 hour. In addition, the act disrupts the softstrike monk’s ki; if he has a ki pool, he loses a number of ki points equal to half his level, as if they had been spent., EvasionAt 2nd level, a monk can avoid damage from many area-effect attacks. If a monk succeeds at a Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, he instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of evasion., Fast MovementAt 3rd level, a monk gains an enhancement bonus to his land speed, as shown on Table: Monk Unchained. A monk in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed., Ki Pool (9)At 3rd level, a monk gains a pool of ki points, supernatural energy he can use to accomplish amazing feats. The number of points in a monk’s ki pool is equal to 1/2 his monk level + his Wisdom modifier. As long as he has at least 1 point in his ki pool, he can make a ki strike. By spending 1 point from his ki pool as a swift action, a monk can make one additional unarmed strike at his highest attack bonus when making a flurry of blows attack. This bonus attack stacks with all bonus attacks gained from flurry of blows, as well as those from haste and similar effects. A monk gains additional powers that consume points from his ki pool as he gains levels. The ki pool is replenished each morning after 8 hours of rest or meditation; these hours do not need to be consecutive., Ki Strike (Magic)At 3rd level, ki strike allows his unarmed attacks to be treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 10th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as lawful weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. At 16th level, his unarmed attacks are treated as adamantine weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction and bypassing hardness., Ki Power - Zephyr Blow (1ki)At 4th level and every 2 levels thereafter, a monk can select one ki power. These powers allow the monk to perform amazing feats of mystical power and acrobatic prowess by expending points from his ki pool. Once a ki power is selected, it cannot be changed. Some ki powers require the monk to be of a specific level or higher before they can be chosen. Zephyr Blow (Su): By spending 1 ki point as a standard action, a monk with this power can disrupt the wind and create a sharp blast of air, as if using the spell gust of wind. The monk’s caster level for this effect is equal to his monk level., Still MindAt 4th level, a monk gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells and effects., Purity of BodyAt 5th level, a monk gains immunity to all diseases, including supernatural and magical diseases., Style Strike - Stomp FootAt 5th level, a monk can learn one type of style strike. Whenever he makes a flurry of blows, he can designate one of his unarmed strikes as a style strike. This attack is resolved as normal, but it has an additional effect depending on the type of strike chosen. At 9th level, and every 4 levels thereafter, a monk learns an additional style strike. He must choose which style strike to apply before the attack roll is made. At 15th level, he can designate up to two of his unarmed strikes each round as a style strike, and each one can be a different type. The monk can choose from any of the following strikes. Foot Stomp: The monk stomps on a foe’s foot, preventing the opponent from escaping. If the attack hits and the monk ends his turn adjacent to that foe, the foe’s movement is restricted. Until the start of the monk’s next turn, the target of this attack can move only in such a way that the space it occupies is adjacent to the monk. Alternatively, it can attempt a combat maneuver check (against the monk’s CMD) as a standard action to break free. This strike does not work against foes that cannot be tripped. The monk must attack with a kick to use this style strike., Life Giving BlowsAt 6th level, a softstrike monk can force a piece of his life force into a nonliving creature to disrupt its animating essence. If he hits an undead foe with an unarmed attack, he can spend 1 ki point as a free action to remove the target’s immunity to nonlethal damage for a number of minutes equal to his Wisdom modifier. If, during this time, the target’s nonlethal damage exceeds its current hit points, it is destroyed. At 10th level, a softstrike monk can also use this ability against constructs. This replaces the bonus feats gained at 6th and 10th levels., Ki Power - Qinggong Power (Barkskin, 1 ki)Qinggong Power (Su): A monk with this power selects any of the qinggong monk ki powers for which he qualifies based on his monk level. A monk can select this ability multiple times. Each time, he must select a different qinggong monk ki power. Barkskin Duration 10 min./level Barkskin toughens a creature’s skin. The effect grants a +2 enhancement bonus to the creature’s existing natural armor bonus. This enhancement bonus increases by 1 for every three caster levels above 3rd, to a maximum of +5 at 12th level. The enhancement bonus provided by barkskin stacks with the target’s natural armor bonus, but not with other enhancement bonuses to natural armor. A creature without natural armor has an effective natural armor bonus of +0., Ki Strike (Cold Iron/Silver)At 7th level, his unarmed attacks are also treated as cold iron and silver for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. Equipment cash on hand $3,700 Handy HaversackA backpack of this sort appears to be well made, well used, and quite ordinary. It has two side pouches, each of which appears large enough to hold about a quart of material. In fact, each is like a bag of holding and can actually hold material of as much as 2 cubic feet in volume or 20 pounds in weight. The large central portion of the pack can contain up to 8 cubic feet or 80 pounds of material. Even when so filled, the backpack always weighs only 5 pounds. While such storage is useful enough, the pack has an even greater power. When the wearer reaches into it for a specific item, that item is always on top. Thus, no digging around and fumbling is ever necessary to find what a haversack contains. Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does., Eyes of the EagleThese lenses are made of special crystal and fit over the eyes of the wearer. They grant a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks. Both lenses must be worn to gain the benefit. Wearing only one causes a character to become dizzy and stunned for 1 round., Monk's RobeWhen worn, this simple brown robe confers great ability in unarmed combat. If the wearer has levels in monk, her AC and unarmed damage is treated as a monk of five levels higher. If donned by a character with the Stunning Fist feat, the robe lets her make one additional stunning attack per day. , Traveler's Any ToolThis implement at first seems to be nothing but a 12-inch iron bar lined with small plates and spikes. It can be folded, twisted, hinged, and bent, to form almost any known tool. Hammers, shovels, even a block and tackle (without rope) are possible. It can duplicate any tool the wielder can clearly visualize that contains only limited moving parts, such as a pair of scissors, but not a handloom. It cannot be used to replace missing or broken parts of machines or vehicles unless a mundane tool would have done the job just as well. The any-tool counts as a set of masterwork artisan’s tools for most Craft or Profession skills (although very specialist crafts such as alchemy still require their own unique toolset). It is an ineffective weapon, always counting as an improvised weapon and never granting any masterwork bonus on attack rolls. Masterwork Mechanics Tools

Gilbert Percy Gilane a.k.a The Crimson Gilbert leaned with his back against the rail as he listened to Zen go over what they could see. He pulled off his spectacles and cleaned them with a cloth as he considered the situation. "As always Peggy, you a cornucopia of pertinent questions. To answer your query regarding my capacity for incendiary prowess capable of reducing a half dozen men to Korim Fried bandits, regrettably, such capabilities do not lie within my repertoire. However, I concur with our astute companions' assessment that the source of this conflagration may indeed be rooted in alchemical principles. Yet, the true conundrum lies in unraveling the temporal mystery surrounding this calamity. Bodies do not tend to smolder for long periods of time. If Slum yet lurks within the confines of his hideout, our odds of subduing him appear favorable. However, the conspicuous absence of his intellect and prowess suggests the presence of perilous defenses lurking in the shadows." Gilbert gave a shrug, now not so inclined to end up looking like Dirk and his other goons. "I am curious how Slum got here so quickly though."
