Tavern Tables (IC Thread)

[rogueblade0729]

The tavern is bustling with all kinds of creatures. Some have arms coming from all over their body, others don't seems to have arms... Or a body. The tavern is a very lively place and the barkeep hands out drinks faster than people can order them. The waiters trays look as if they could fall any moment. Who knows what friends, or enemies, could be made here?

[Sylas]

A halfling poked his head in from a tear in reality, grabbed a nearby mug, and downed the smoking liquid within. He disappeared from whence he came and the mug was replaced in moments by less-than-amused waitstaff.

[Rudolf]

A figure in a deep brown cloak enters the tavern. The cloak is edged with green stitching, and while most of it seemed to do its job well enough, the hood was cut wide enough to cover the creatures’ broad, curling horns. He pushed it back in order to show he had nothing to hide.

 

“Oh, me? An order? An ale would be ideal, thank you.”
 

As Ez waited for the drink, he removed a clay pipe and some tobacco from a small pouch at his belt. He began to pack dried, shredded leaves inside, and then lit it with a small splinter from the fire. He turns his attention to the other strange patrons. <What must they think of me, then?>

[Lunermist]

A Small figure steps through the doorway, finding a chair to climb up on she looks around, setting out a piece of paper and beginning to take note of every manner of creature on display within the tavern.

Prince Belregar

The Tavern has been quieter than usual as of late. Whether most of the adventuring sorts have departed for other lands, or are busy attending to matters at home, or anything else that may be occurring in the infinite multiverse, fewer folk have been seen in the common room as of late. It is precisely in this moment when some higher profile patrons like to have a drink or two in peace, and perhaps mingle with others while avoiding the spotlight.

This was the case for one Prince Belregar, heir to the dragonborn kingdom of Amostiv. It is well known to the locals that he has been fighting the clan of devil-worshiping dwarves, Gavstor, that conquered his homeland over a decade ago. For the most part, this conflict has been waged in the shadows: subterfuge, espionage, rebellions, and the amassing of his scattered and enslaved people. When the Tavern demiplane itself came under attack, a large host of Gavstorians led one of the major assaults, intent on crushing him and all who had harbored him from their wrath. But now, he has been seen in the area less and less, either lingering in the depths of Fort Hope, or traveling about his home plane to rally his people for open war.

Whether it was out of a sense of nostalgia for an era that may soon come to end in his life, or whether he simply needed a change in scenery before he crossed the point of no return, the Prince was seen once again in the common room. The Barkeep welcomed him kindly and served him his usual: a glass of fine red wine. Not caring to disguise himself in this place, he sat upon a wooden stool dressed in all his fine regalia, the coat of arms of his people presented proudly on his cloak. While he is normally seen in the company of a dwarf, a mermaid, or a number of other bronze dragonborn, today he has ventured here all alone.

Still, despite what may come off as a rather imposing figure, he did not seem unwilling to socialize with anyone from any walk of life.

  Enchantment (Compulsion) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting]
  Level: Clr 5
  Targets: One creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
  Duration: 1 round/level
  This spell functions like command, except that up to one creature per level may be affected, and the activities continue beyond 1 round. At the start of each commanded creature’s action after the first, it gets another Will save to attempt to break free from the spell. Each creature must receive the same command. (2/2)x/day
• Quick RallyStarting at 2nd level, you can perform a rally check (see page 73) as a free action once per round.

Crusader

• Steely ResolveYour supreme dedication and intense focus allow you to temporarily set aside the pain and hindering effects of injuries. When an opponent strikes you, the injury does not immediately affect you. You have a delayed damage pool that allows you to forestall the effects of many injuries. This pool begins at 0 with each encounter. When you are attacked, any hit point damage the blow deals is added to your delayed damage pool. At the end of your next turn, you take damage equal to the total stored in your delayed damage pool, which then resets to 0. Any healing you receive can either increase your current hit point total as normal or reduce the total damage in your delayed damage pool. When you receive healing, you choose whether it affects your damage pool, your hit points, or both (you can split the amount of healing as you wish). Most crusaders opt to keep as much damage in their delayed damage pool as possible to maximize the benefit of their furious counterstrike ability (see below).
  
  Special effects tied to an attack, such as energy drain, stun, and so forth, still affect you as normal, and their effects are not delayed by this ability. For example, if you are bitten by a venomous spider, you must still attempt a Fortitude save against the poison immediately, even though the bite damage shifts into your delayed damage pool. By the same token, any other special attack that imposes a condition, such as a medusa's petrifying gaze, takes immediate effect on you.
  
  At 1st level, your delayed damage pool can hold up to 5 points of damage. Any damage beyond that comes off your hit points as normal. The maximum damage your pool holds increases by 5 at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th level. (0/10)hp
• Furious CounterstrikeYou can channel the pain of your injuries into a boiling rage that lets you lash out at your enemies with renewed vigor and power. Each attack that strikes you only pushes you onward to greater glory. During your turn, you gain a bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls equal to the current value of your delayed damage pool (see steely resolve, above) divided by 5, and rounding down (minimum +1).
  
  You can only gain a maximum bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls of +6 from furious counterstrike. This ability's benefits last until the end of your turn. (+0)
• Zealous SurgeYour boundless energy and dedication to your cause allow you to throw off the effect of a special attack, spell, or other attack that would otherwise hinder or harm you. Once per day, from 3rd level on, you can opt to reroll a single saving throw. You must abide by the result of the new, second saving throw, even if it is lower than the first. This ability does not require an action. You simply decide to use it after seeing the result of your saving throw roll but before the DM tells you if it fails or succeeds. (1/1)x/day
• Heroic SuccessWhen you reach 4th level, your deeds become truly legendary, and you demonstrate your ability to beat the odds even when the situation looks bleak. Once per day, you can choose to automatically succeed on a single saving throw instead of rolling the dice. (1/1)x/day

Magic Items

• +1 Crimson Dragonhode BracersThese bracers, crafted from the armored hide of a red dragon, grant their wearer an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 to his natural armor. They also grant resistance to fire 5.
• +1 Commander Darkwood Heavy ShieldDARKWOOD
  This rare magic wood is as hard as normal wood but very light. Any wooden or mostly wooden item (such as a bow, an arrow, or a spear) made from darkwood is considered a masterwork item and weighs only half as much as a normal wooden item of that type. Items not normally made of wood or only partially of wood (such as a battleaxe or a mace) either cannot be made from darkwood or do not gain any special benefit from being made of darkwood. The armor check penalty of a darkwood shield is lessened by 2 compared to an ordinary shield of its type. To determine the price of a darkwood item, use the original weight but add 10 gp per pound to the price of a masterwork version of that item.
  
  COMMANDER
  This item looks particularly clean and bright—in fact, it almost seems to shine with its own light.
  
  A suit of armor or shield that has this property always appears brilliant and gleaming, even in filthy or squalid conditions, though it doesn't shed any useful light. Attempts to paint over or obscure its finish do not diminish its brightness.While wearing commander armor or carrying a commander shield, you gain a +2 competence bonus on Diplomacy checks, and each ally within 30 feet of you (not including yourself) gains a +1 morale bonus on Will saves. However, the shiny finish makes you so noticeable that you also take a -5 penalty on Hide checks (in addition to the normal armor check penalty).

Cleric

• Turn UndeadAny cleric, regardless of alignment, has the power to affect undead creatures by channeling the power of his faith through his holy (or unholy) symbol (see Turn or Rebuke Undead).
  
  A good cleric (or a neutral cleric who worships a good deity) can turn or destroy undead creatures. An evil cleric (or a neutral cleric who worships an evil deity) instead rebukes or commands such creatures. A neutral cleric of a neutral deity must choose whether his turning ability functions as that of a good cleric or an evil cleric. Once this choice is made, it cannot be reversed. This decision also determines whether the cleric can cast spontaneous cure or inflict spells.
  
  A cleric may attempt to turn undead a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. A cleric with 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (religion) gets a +2 bonus on turning checks against undead. (4/4)
• Good DomainGood spells are casted at a +1 caster level
• Protective WardYou can generate a protective ward as a supernatural ability. Grant someone you touch a resistance bonus equal to your cleric level on his or her next saving throw. Activating this power is a standard action. The protective ward is an abjuration effect with a duration of 1 hour that is usable once per day. (1/1)

Dwarf

• Darkvision 60ft
• StabilityDwarves are exceptionally stable on their feet. A dwarf has a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
• StonecuttingThis ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Dwarves have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.
• Racial Bonuses+2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells and spell-like effects
  +1 racial bonus on attacks against orcs and goblinoids
  +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against creatures of giant type
  +2 racial bonuses on Appraise and Craft checks related to stone or metal items

  Prerequisite: Your Deity must have the Protection Domain available.
  
  Benefit: Once per day as an immediate action, you can activate a protective aura. While it is active, you gain a +2 sacred (if your deity is good or neutral) or profane (if your deity is evil) bonus to AC, as does every ally within 30 feet of you. This bonus increases by i for every four character levels you possess (maximum +7 at 20th level). This effect lasts for 1 minute.

  Benefit: Once per day as an immediate action, you can surround yourself with an aura of good that grants you and each of your allies within 30 feet damage reduction that can be overcome only by evil-aligned weapons. The numeric value of this damage reduction is 1 + l/five character levels you possess (maximum 5/evil at 20th level). In addition, your and your allies' natural and weapon attacks are good-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction. This effect lasts for 1 minute.

Meris Evenlight, Mermaid Diva

Meris nearly did a spit-take when Belregar stepped through the door. Apparently, she wasn't the only one feeling a little Tavern nostalgia recently. She tucked herself a bit further back into the moon pool corner, wondering how long it would take for him to look in that direction.

In a way, she was glad he'd come. The nostalgia wasn't quite all she'd hoped for. The only face she'd recognized so far was the Barkeep himself, and his greeting to her had been disappointingly lukewarm. It just seemed empty without all the faces she remembered from before: Syrene, Mariana, not even Dominus Marcus Sempronius Whatever-the-Rest-of-it-Was.

It used to feel like this place practically belonged to her: everyone knew her name, all eyes turned in her direction whenever she walked in, and people used to line up for some 'mermaid sugar' or to beg her to sing for them. Now... well, it felt weird being here when she didn't have any desire to flirt with anybody.

She'd certainly changed in more ways than one. Older, more mature, certainly... and now, taken. Of course, what would Belregar think if he saw her alone, back in this old haunt of theirs? He certainly knew her better than to think she was cheating on him --- she hadn't been that woman for a long time, after all --- but he'd certainly have some questions. Foremost among them would probably be, "Why are you hiding in the moon pool, Meris?"

She'd better think up a good excuse, because she certainly wasn't ready to come out just yet.

Prince Belregar

A warrior like Belregar has faced many situations in his life that were so fearsome, any would have broken lesser men. The downfall of his homeland and the death of his father. The mad pursuit through the wild. Unforeseen betrayals from those who once claimed to be friends. Gods-know how many monsters. The horrors of warfare. Yet, none of that quite matched the daunting nature of love.

It took a little while, but eventually, the Prince's gaze drifted off into the corner of the room. There, in all her beauty and wonder, was Meris, she who ruled his heart. The look on his face was a humorous blend of surprise, longing, and hesitation. How long had it been since they were last together? They used to make it a point to spend whatever time they could in one another's company, finding strength and comfort in each other's presence. But ever since preparations for the coming war have ramped up, that time became less and less, especially as Belregar spent more and more time on his home plane.

But with one look, it was plain for all to see how he still felt about her. Taking a large gulp of his liquid courage, he requested the bottle of wine and a glass for Meris, before rising from his seat. As he approached, he subtly adjusted his apparel to be as presentable as possible, his fierce appearance softening into a humble and heartfelt man. Then, once he was before her, he smiled kindly.

"Good evening, Ms. Evenlight," he greeted, holding out his hand. If she returned hers, he would take it and kiss it, as he had done many times before. Though he maintained the air of nobility, she could sense his fingers fidgeting ever so slightly, indicating the state of his nerves deep down. "It has been… too long. May I join your company tonight?"

• Darkvision 60ft
• StabilityDwarves are exceptionally stable on their feet. A dwarf has a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
• StonecuttingThis ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Dwarves have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.

A rather large and muscular man with the look of someone who hasn't left his cabin in a mountain for a good nice while (if ever) slowly walked inside as if unsure if should he be there. Which rather stood apart from his looks since if blindly asked 90% of normal people would doubt he was ever unsure about his position in the world and the last 10% would be blind. The last obviously unusual thing about him was the color of his eyes which were the color of the amber, like a wolf's or lion's. Although the shape was pretty Human-like.

A newcomer approached the bar looking to the pair in the basin and nodding in greeting, then turning toward the barkeep although by the loudness of the voice, it was clear that his question was directed to someone, anyone who could answer it "Excuse me?" His voice was a deep timber with a slight accent, definitely not as deep as the first time he left the mountains but still clearly noticeable "I'm sorry if I'm ruining some event, but...and this part might sound crazy to you, I don't know where I am. I was talking about walking the last stretch to Deepan Village when the fog fell, now fog lifted I see not only that I'm not in Deepan but those mountains were not there when the fog fell and lastly these trees don't grow in the part of the world where I am. Now I am familiar with the concept of teleportation" he seemingly vanishes and appears at the opposite length of the bar but he stays on the customer's side, not wishing to antagonize the barman or whoever was running the establishment.

Equally, he does not take any stance keeping his posture as neutral as possible "However I suspect this is something more potent. I'd just like to know more about particularies of my situation which are, you must admit, slightly odd."

Meris Evenlight, Mermaid Diva

She knew Belregar well enough to recognize that the formalities were his way of flirting. At least, that's what she'd always told herself. Hopefully, that wasn't a self-confidence issue sneaking up on her again.

But, he had a way of making her not feel silly when she felt like she really ought to feel silly. She appreciated that from him.

She curtsied formally and daintily rested her hand in his to let him kiss it, the way he always did. "Your Highness," she replied, suppressing the giddy smile that was threatening her lips, "It has been entirely too long. We haven't seen each other face-to-face like this is quite a long time. You write such sweet letters, but it's simply no replacement.

"Funny that we meet by chance here. I haven't set foot in this place for... well, it feels like years, frankly." She looked around the room, her eyes falling on the certain table. She pointed towards it. "I think that's where we first met. I'd just gotten legs for the first time, remember? I twisted my ankle in those boots on the very first day that I ever had ankles."

She held up her hand, with the ring on the pointer finger. "The ring works better than the skirt ever did," she explained, "The legs feel real, natural, like I've always had them." It helped that she had also learned how to balance fashion and practicality with her footwear since then, too.

She sighed then and gestured for Belregar to sit. "I'm sorry I haven't been able to help the war effort as much you'd like me to," she said, "I think Father's been intentionally putting me on jobs that keep me away from it. Now that he thinks I'm going to marry a prince, there's no better ambassador for the company than me; but he's still got prejudices to overcome. And of course, he has to try to keep me out of danger. I did steer a ship off-course so I could fight some pirates, though. Don't tell Daddy, but his little girl needs some excitement in her life sometimes.

"He does have another weapons shipment for you, by the way. He's working through a middle man, in the hopes that he can avoid giving you a friends-and-family discount; but I told the middle man anyway, and I'm sure you'll get a report about it anyway.

"It's nice to see you face-to-face, though." She took his head in both of hers and began massaging it affectionately. "I'm tired of dealing with stuffy middle men, and financial ledgers and business transactions. Once you've finally made me a princess for real, perhaps I'll just spend all my time lounging about the palace looking decorative. I think I've just about had enough of this 'responsibility' nonsense."

Prince Belregar

The Prince was not ignorant of how his formalities and high-class manners affected Meris. It was drilled into him from a young age, being the son of the ruling family, so he never quite dropped it. Having been together for as long as they have, it was something of a social dance between them, each movement and word communicating more than just what it first seemed. In this case, he was elated to finally be in her presence again, and he intended to make the most of this time.

"Indeed it was," Belregar replied, following her gaze to the table. "I recall those days. They were despairing and lonesome, when it felt the entire world was against me. I had begun to think my only hope was to live the rest of my days quietly as a wandering mercenary, until some assassin got lucky." A grim look shadowed his expression briefly. "Then... I came to this place. I made friends, like Rhiannon and Daryl. I met you... by the gods, what a life I have lived since then."

As she revealed her ring to him, his inspected it briefly while listening to how it helped her. He nodded in approval, glad for her improved quality of life. When requested to sit, he did so, adjusting his cloak and his sword such that neither got in their way. Upon hearing the explanation of her absence, he looked upon her kindly, not a drop of judgement in his golden eyes.

A grin crossed his face when she admitted to her pirate adventure. "My lips are sealed on the matter," Belregar assured her. "I only wish I could have joined you. Bronze dragons have an affinity for the sea, a longing that has passed down to my kind. Perhaps we can share in another, some day. As for your father, do not worry. I will ensure my people have what they need, coin in the coffers included."

Her hands upon his draconic head sent sparks through him; an impressive feat, considering he literally breathes lightning. Closing his eyes, he leaned forward and tenderly pressed his forehead against hers. "I would make you a queen, my love, if you would have it," he said. "What you do with such a title is yours to decide. But, let us speak no longer of finance and war." Meeting her gaze again, he smiled and asked, "Come, would you tell me of the Cove? Share as much as you wish, down to the last crab. I would hear it all."

  Enchantment (Compulsion) [Language-Dependent, Mind-Affecting]
  Level: Clr 5
  Targets: One creature/level, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart
  Duration: 1 round/level
  This spell functions like command, except that up to one creature per level may be affected, and the activities continue beyond 1 round. At the start of each commanded creature’s action after the first, it gets another Will save to attempt to break free from the spell. Each creature must receive the same command. (2/2)x/day
• Quick RallyStarting at 2nd level, you can perform a rally check (see page 73) as a free action once per round.

Crusader

• Steely ResolveYour supreme dedication and intense focus allow you to temporarily set aside the pain and hindering effects of injuries. When an opponent strikes you, the injury does not immediately affect you. You have a delayed damage pool that allows you to forestall the effects of many injuries. This pool begins at 0 with each encounter. When you are attacked, any hit point damage the blow deals is added to your delayed damage pool. At the end of your next turn, you take damage equal to the total stored in your delayed damage pool, which then resets to 0. Any healing you receive can either increase your current hit point total as normal or reduce the total damage in your delayed damage pool. When you receive healing, you choose whether it affects your damage pool, your hit points, or both (you can split the amount of healing as you wish). Most crusaders opt to keep as much damage in their delayed damage pool as possible to maximize the benefit of their furious counterstrike ability (see below).
  
  Special effects tied to an attack, such as energy drain, stun, and so forth, still affect you as normal, and their effects are not delayed by this ability. For example, if you are bitten by a venomous spider, you must still attempt a Fortitude save against the poison immediately, even though the bite damage shifts into your delayed damage pool. By the same token, any other special attack that imposes a condition, such as a medusa's petrifying gaze, takes immediate effect on you.
  
  At 1st level, your delayed damage pool can hold up to 5 points of damage. Any damage beyond that comes off your hit points as normal. The maximum damage your pool holds increases by 5 at 4th, 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th level. (0/10)hp
• Furious CounterstrikeYou can channel the pain of your injuries into a boiling rage that lets you lash out at your enemies with renewed vigor and power. Each attack that strikes you only pushes you onward to greater glory. During your turn, you gain a bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls equal to the current value of your delayed damage pool (see steely resolve, above) divided by 5, and rounding down (minimum +1).
  
  You can only gain a maximum bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls of +6 from furious counterstrike. This ability's benefits last until the end of your turn. (+0)
• Zealous SurgeYour boundless energy and dedication to your cause allow you to throw off the effect of a special attack, spell, or other attack that would otherwise hinder or harm you. Once per day, from 3rd level on, you can opt to reroll a single saving throw. You must abide by the result of the new, second saving throw, even if it is lower than the first. This ability does not require an action. You simply decide to use it after seeing the result of your saving throw roll but before the DM tells you if it fails or succeeds. (1/1)x/day
• Heroic SuccessWhen you reach 4th level, your deeds become truly legendary, and you demonstrate your ability to beat the odds even when the situation looks bleak. Once per day, you can choose to automatically succeed on a single saving throw instead of rolling the dice. (1/1)x/day

• +1 Crimson Dragonhode BracersThese bracers, crafted from the armored hide of a red dragon, grant their wearer an enhancement bonus of +1 to +5 to his natural armor. They also grant resistance to fire 5.
• +1 Commander Darkwood Heavy ShieldDARKWOOD
  This rare magic wood is as hard as normal wood but very light. Any wooden or mostly wooden item (such as a bow, an arrow, or a spear) made from darkwood is considered a masterwork item and weighs only half as much as a normal wooden item of that type. Items not normally made of wood or only partially of wood (such as a battleaxe or a mace) either cannot be made from darkwood or do not gain any special benefit from being made of darkwood. The armor check penalty of a darkwood shield is lessened by 2 compared to an ordinary shield of its type. To determine the price of a darkwood item, use the original weight but add 10 gp per pound to the price of a masterwork version of that item.
  
  COMMANDER
  This item looks particularly clean and bright—in fact, it almost seems to shine with its own light.
  
  A suit of armor or shield that has this property always appears brilliant and gleaming, even in filthy or squalid conditions, though it doesn't shed any useful light. Attempts to paint over or obscure its finish do not diminish its brightness.While wearing commander armor or carrying a commander shield, you gain a +2 competence bonus on Diplomacy checks, and each ally within 30 feet of you (not including yourself) gains a +1 morale bonus on Will saves. However, the shiny finish makes you so noticeable that you also take a -5 penalty on Hide checks (in addition to the normal armor check penalty).

  A good cleric (or a neutral cleric who worships a good deity) can turn or destroy undead creatures. An evil cleric (or a neutral cleric who worships an evil deity) instead rebukes or commands such creatures. A neutral cleric of a neutral deity must choose whether his turning ability functions as that of a good cleric or an evil cleric. Once this choice is made, it cannot be reversed. This decision also determines whether the cleric can cast spontaneous cure or inflict spells.
  
  A cleric may attempt to turn undead a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Charisma modifier. A cleric with 5 or more ranks in Knowledge (religion) gets a +2 bonus on turning checks against undead. (4/4)

Williorn Barrett, Abjurer

"You have found yourself in the Realm Folded Tavern, my hulking friend," a robed man with messy brown hair replied, turning to Malus. "Do not fear, you are not the first to find yourself here on accident. We are in a pocket dimension of sorts, an enchanted chunk of land in the midst of the Astral Sea. A world between worlds, if you will. If you desire to find your way back home, I can be of assistance."

Nodding in greeting to him, he introduced himself, "My name is Williorn, abjurer and patron of this fine establishment. What might I call you, then?"

Wizard

• Summon Familiar (Raven)A wizard can obtain a familiar. Doing so takes 24 hours and uses up magical materials that cost 100 gp. A familiar is a magical beast that resembles a small animal and is unusually tough and intelligent. The creature serves as a companion and servant.
  
  The wizard chooses the kind of familiar he gets. As the wizard advances in level, his familiar also increases in power.
  
  If the familiar dies or is dismissed by the wizard, the wizard must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw. Failure means he loses 200 experience points per wizard level; success reduces the loss to one-half that amount. However, a wizard's experience point total can never go below 0 as the result of a familiar's demise or dismissal. A slain or dismissed familiar cannot be replaced for a year and day. A slain familiar can be raised from the dead just as a character can be, and it does not lose a level or a Constitution point when this happy event occurs.
  
  A character with more than one class that grants a familiar may have only one familiar at a time.
  
  Raven: +3 bonus on Appraise checks
• Scribe ScrollSCRIBE SCROLL [ITEM CREATION]
  
  Prerequisite: Caster level 1st.
  
  Benefit: You can create a scroll of any spell that you know. Scribing a scroll takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. The base price of a scroll is its spell level x its caster level x 25 gp. To scribe a scroll, you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of this base price.
  
  Any scroll that stores a spell with a costly material component or an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must expend the material component or pay the XP when scribing the scroll.
• School Specialization (Abjuration)SCHOOL SPECIALIZATION
  
  A school is one of eight groupings of spells, each defined by a common theme. If desired, a wizard may specialize in one school of magic (see below). Specialization allows a wizard to cast extra spells from her chosen school, but she then never learns to cast spells from some other schools.
  
  A specialist wizard can prepare one additional spell of her specialty school per spell level each day. She also gains a +2 bonus on Spellcraft checks to learn the spells of her chosen school.
  
  The wizard must choose whether to specialize and, if she does so, choose her specialty at 1st level. At this time, she must also give up two other schools of magic (unless she chooses to specialize in divination; see below), which become her prohibited schools. A wizard can never give up divination to fulfill this requirement. Spells of the prohibited school or schools are not available to the wizard, and she can't even cast such spells from scrolls or fire them from wands. She may not change either her specialization or her prohibited schools later.
  
  The eight schools of arcane magic are abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, and transmutation. Spells that do not fall into any of these schools are called universal spells.
  
  Abjuration: Spells that protect, block, or banish. An abjuration specialist is called an abjurer.
• Forbidden Schools (Evocation, Necromancy)

Archivist

• Dark Knowledge (Tactics, Puissance)Three times per day, an archivist can draw upon his expansive knowledge.
  
  An archivist unlocks new dark knowledge abilities as his level increases and can also call upon his dark knowledge more often, gaining one additional daily use for every three archivist levels (4/day at 3rd level, 5/day at 6th level, and so forth).
  
  Using dark knowledge requires a Knowledge check of a type appropriate to the creature faced. A Knowledge (arcana) check reveals secrets of magical beasts, Knowledge (dungeoneering) pertains to aberrations, Knowledge (religion) covers undead, and Knowledge (the planes) applies to outsiders and elementals. The DC of the check is 15. Most of the archivist's dark knowledge abilities increase in effectiveness if he succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more. Dark knowledge can only be used once against any given creature.
  
  The archivist's dark knowledge can affect a single creature or all creatures of the same race, depending on the effect used. A target creature must be within 60 feet, and the archivist must be aware of the creature's presence, although he need not have a line of sight to it. The effects of dark knowledge last for 1 minute, unless stated otherwise.
  
  Tactics: The archivist knows the general combat behaviors of creatures of that race, granting his allies a +1 bonus to attack rolls made against them. For example, an archivist confronted by corruption eaters* who succeeded on his Knowledge (dungeoneering) check would grant his allies the attack bonus against all the corruption eaters they fought in that encounter. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, then this bonus increases to +2. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, then this bonus increases to +3.
  
  *New monster described on page 144.
  
  Puissance: Starting at 5th level, the archivist can use his dark knowledge to help his allies fight off the corrupting influence of other creatures. Allies within 60 feet of the archivist gain a +1 bonus on saving throws against the affected creature's abilities. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, this bonus increases to +2. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, this bonus increases to +3.
  
  Foe: Starting at 8th level, an archivist can direct his allies to attack vital spots of his enemies. On a successful Knowledge check, he grants them a bonus to weapon damage rolls made against the target creatures equal to 1d6 points of damage. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, then this bonus increases to 2d6. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, then this bonus increases to 3d6.
  
  Dread Secret: By speaking aloud a dread secret of the target creature, an archivist of 11th level or higher can dazzle a target creature for 1 round. Unlike other dark knowledge, this ability can be used only against a single creature. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, then the target is dazed for 1 round. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, then the target is stunned for 1 round (if the target is immune to being stunned but not immune to being dazed, such as most undead, then the archivist can choose to daze the target instead of stunning it).
  
  Foreknowledge: Starting at 14th level, an archivist can better prepare his allies for the attacks of the affected creature, making it harder for the creature to land blows and successfully deal damage. Allies within 30 feet of the archivist gain a +1 insight bonus to Armor Class that applies to attacks by the affected creature only. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, this bonus increases to +2. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, this bonus increases to +3. (3/3)x/day
• Lore Mastery (Arcana)Lore Mastery: Upon reaching 2nd level, an archivist gains a +2 bonus to all Decipher Script checks and to all checks of any one Knowledge skill of his choice. Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. At 7th, 13th, and 17th level, the archivist can choose an additional Knowledge skill on which to gain the +2 bonus.
• Still Mind (Ex)Starting at 4th level, an archivist gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects from the school of enchantment, due to his rigorous focus and intense mental discipline.

[darlis moonbeam]

As Kethar steps into the tavern everyone sees a strange creature, though no stranger than most in this place. Some would even recognize him as a Githzerai. His monastic outfit was fitting as most who knew the race, knew that they tended to live a life of self reflection most often found in a monastery. Though one odd detail was the strange weapon he carried. It was not your typical monk weapon as it appeared to be something like a cross between a quarterstaff and a short sword. Though you do notice that the way he carries it shows that he is very comfortable with it in his hands. He steps to the bar and makes an order "Do you have Oolong tea?" his eyes scan the tavern making note of the people there. He notes the lovers, as well as the rather large "human" though something seemed off there with the companion with him. He heard their conversation and nodded to himself. That was good information to know, though he came through a portal and not some mist. He was curious as to how that worked. Outside of portals the only other way he knew how to travel between planes was an ability his people had after many years of study and meditation to just shift between planes. He also noticed sprinkled among the people a handful of spirits though at first glance they appeared to be benign so he did not bother to chastise them. Though he did chuckle at the antics of one of them that seemed to be bouncing around the lovers making faces at them.

The large man looks down at himself like he self-assessing himself. "Hulking." "It's been a time when I thought of myself in such terms, but that was before I saw what that word cab truly mean. I doubt Humans have no much claim to it as others they use. As "Graceful." for instance. I do understand a lot of it simply pageantry. "Lobo Hulking Beastman of The North" will always sell more seats and earn more in bets than Malus DeVier orphan taken in by Akhan Deepka Ashram of the 9 Styles at 3 months of age.

"As for names Malus will do fine, I'm considering a change in my career and was on my way home to talk to my adopted parents...all 376 of them, about what I did and what I want to do. But they are large believers in the concept of faith, if I'm here, there must be reason for it. I heard about pocket dimensions, never been to one, what do you do here?" He notes the entrance of the new patron together with his monk robes, but these were not from home as neither was the race. Drawing from the knowledge of the Temple tomes, he could maybe place him at some sort of "Gith" which faction was beyond him.

Noran slid down the stairs into the great room, the faint scents of lavender and aloe wafting along behind him. He moved with a grace and etiquette rarely seen among the throngs of adventurers who frequent this particular tavern. His posture was rigid, such that only his feet, and the hems of his robes, seemed to react to his movementsee Berezka dancing. "If one can tolerate the more... rustic... aspects of our environs..."

 

He continued to wind his way through the tables to one of the emptier corners, breaking his form only to occasionally stop and give some of the more distinguished patrons, like Meris, Lilith, and Prince Belregar, a quick, deep curtsey. Between his bows, he made an obvious show of studying the man who called himself Malus from head to toe. "And, I surmise, one such as yourself should have little problem doing so..."

 

Finding himself at a seat he deemed suitable, he produced a handkerchief from his sleeve and quickly dusted the chair and table before sitting. He handed the server a small card covered in elaborate script in exchange for a clearly pre-arranged snifter with little more than a few drops of dark, purplish liquid sliding around inside. "One can expect to enjoy any number of luxuries befitting the horde of even the grandest of dragons."

 

He held the glass to his nose for several moments, swirling the fluid within, smiling; a weird amalgamation of pleasure and mischief. "Of course, our venerable host can likely arrange for you to galivant about the wilderness, slaughtering goblins, zombies, or some such... should that prove to be your hearts desire."

"Malus," Williorn echoed. "Three hundred and seventy-six parents? Goodness. And I thought two was already plenty!" Taking a drink of his wine as Noran made his introduction, he nodded along in agreement. "Indeed. The Tavern demiplane can be somewhere to call home, if you wish to stay for long. But there is plenty of work to be done about the place. The Barkeep posts calls for adventurers on the Board over yonder, or you can seek out any of the factions or guilds that take up residence nearby.

"As for myself, I've spent much of my time recently researching. A place such as this offers more insight into the arcane arts than most wizard colleges back home, if you know who to speak with."

Wizard

• Summon Familiar (Raven)A wizard can obtain a familiar. Doing so takes 24 hours and uses up magical materials that cost 100 gp. A familiar is a magical beast that resembles a small animal and is unusually tough and intelligent. The creature serves as a companion and servant.
  
  The wizard chooses the kind of familiar he gets. As the wizard advances in level, his familiar also increases in power.
  
  If the familiar dies or is dismissed by the wizard, the wizard must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw. Failure means he loses 200 experience points per wizard level; success reduces the loss to one-half that amount. However, a wizard's experience point total can never go below 0 as the result of a familiar's demise or dismissal. A slain or dismissed familiar cannot be replaced for a year and day. A slain familiar can be raised from the dead just as a character can be, and it does not lose a level or a Constitution point when this happy event occurs.
  
  A character with more than one class that grants a familiar may have only one familiar at a time.
  
  Raven: +3 bonus on Appraise checks
• Scribe ScrollSCRIBE SCROLL [ITEM CREATION]
  
  Prerequisite: Caster level 1st.
  
  Benefit: You can create a scroll of any spell that you know. Scribing a scroll takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. The base price of a scroll is its spell level x its caster level x 25 gp. To scribe a scroll, you must spend 1/25 of this base price in XP and use up raw materials costing one-half of this base price.
  
  Any scroll that stores a spell with a costly material component or an XP cost also carries a commensurate cost. In addition to the costs derived from the base price, you must expend the material component or pay the XP when scribing the scroll.
• School Specialization (Abjuration)SCHOOL SPECIALIZATION
  
  A school is one of eight groupings of spells, each defined by a common theme. If desired, a wizard may specialize in one school of magic (see below). Specialization allows a wizard to cast extra spells from her chosen school, but she then never learns to cast spells from some other schools.
  
  A specialist wizard can prepare one additional spell of her specialty school per spell level each day. She also gains a +2 bonus on Spellcraft checks to learn the spells of her chosen school.
  
  The wizard must choose whether to specialize and, if she does so, choose her specialty at 1st level. At this time, she must also give up two other schools of magic (unless she chooses to specialize in divination; see below), which become her prohibited schools. A wizard can never give up divination to fulfill this requirement. Spells of the prohibited school or schools are not available to the wizard, and she can't even cast such spells from scrolls or fire them from wands. She may not change either her specialization or her prohibited schools later.
  
  The eight schools of arcane magic are abjuration, conjuration, divination, enchantment, evocation, illusion, necromancy, and transmutation. Spells that do not fall into any of these schools are called universal spells.
  
  Abjuration: Spells that protect, block, or banish. An abjuration specialist is called an abjurer.
• Forbidden Schools (Evocation, Necromancy)

Archivist

• Dark Knowledge (Tactics, Puissance)Three times per day, an archivist can draw upon his expansive knowledge.
  
  An archivist unlocks new dark knowledge abilities as his level increases and can also call upon his dark knowledge more often, gaining one additional daily use for every three archivist levels (4/day at 3rd level, 5/day at 6th level, and so forth).
  
  Using dark knowledge requires a Knowledge check of a type appropriate to the creature faced. A Knowledge (arcana) check reveals secrets of magical beasts, Knowledge (dungeoneering) pertains to aberrations, Knowledge (religion) covers undead, and Knowledge (the planes) applies to outsiders and elementals. The DC of the check is 15. Most of the archivist's dark knowledge abilities increase in effectiveness if he succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more. Dark knowledge can only be used once against any given creature.
  
  The archivist's dark knowledge can affect a single creature or all creatures of the same race, depending on the effect used. A target creature must be within 60 feet, and the archivist must be aware of the creature's presence, although he need not have a line of sight to it. The effects of dark knowledge last for 1 minute, unless stated otherwise.
  
  Tactics: The archivist knows the general combat behaviors of creatures of that race, granting his allies a +1 bonus to attack rolls made against them. For example, an archivist confronted by corruption eaters* who succeeded on his Knowledge (dungeoneering) check would grant his allies the attack bonus against all the corruption eaters they fought in that encounter. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, then this bonus increases to +2. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, then this bonus increases to +3.
  
  *New monster described on page 144.
  
  Puissance: Starting at 5th level, the archivist can use his dark knowledge to help his allies fight off the corrupting influence of other creatures. Allies within 60 feet of the archivist gain a +1 bonus on saving throws against the affected creature's abilities. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, this bonus increases to +2. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, this bonus increases to +3.
  
  Foe: Starting at 8th level, an archivist can direct his allies to attack vital spots of his enemies. On a successful Knowledge check, he grants them a bonus to weapon damage rolls made against the target creatures equal to 1d6 points of damage. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, then this bonus increases to 2d6. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, then this bonus increases to 3d6.
  
  Dread Secret: By speaking aloud a dread secret of the target creature, an archivist of 11th level or higher can dazzle a target creature for 1 round. Unlike other dark knowledge, this ability can be used only against a single creature. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, then the target is dazed for 1 round. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, then the target is stunned for 1 round (if the target is immune to being stunned but not immune to being dazed, such as most undead, then the archivist can choose to daze the target instead of stunning it).
  
  Foreknowledge: Starting at 14th level, an archivist can better prepare his allies for the attacks of the affected creature, making it harder for the creature to land blows and successfully deal damage. Allies within 30 feet of the archivist gain a +1 insight bonus to Armor Class that applies to attacks by the affected creature only. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 10 or more, this bonus increases to +2. If the archivist succeeds on his Knowledge check by 20 or more, this bonus increases to +3. (3/3)x/day
• Lore Mastery (Arcana)Lore Mastery: Upon reaching 2nd level, an archivist gains a +2 bonus to all Decipher Script checks and to all checks of any one Knowledge skill of his choice. Once this choice is made, it cannot be changed. At 7th, 13th, and 17th level, the archivist can choose an additional Knowledge skill on which to gain the +2 bonus.
• Still Mind (Ex)Starting at 4th level, an archivist gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects from the school of enchantment, due to his rigorous focus and intense mental discipline.

• Expanded SpellbookWhen you reach 2nd level, you can add one wizard spell of your chosen school to your spellbook. The spell can be of any level that you can cast, and it is in addition to the normal spells gained when increasing your level.

• Greater Spell Focus (Abjuration)
• Minor School Esoterica (Ex)At 4th level, your unflagging focus on your chosen school opens your mind to new possibilities and grants you the first taste of the unique skills of a master specialist. You gain an ability from those below based on your chosen school.
