Aldencross Rumors:

1. Have you ever been to the choir hall of Balentyne? Amazing! The priests are such beautiful singers and sometimes the stone saints that adorn the place join in the chorus. Such a miracle!
2. Mad Martin is a strange one! He tends the rookery in the Watchtower. They say he never leaves except for necessities. He talks to the birds like people and has named every one!
3. Lord Havelyn is a good soul but so grim and gloomy. For so great a lord to be unhappy, he must be guilty about something!
4. That Captain Zack Eddarly is a handsome one, isn’t he? Such a gallant! And still unmarried at his age. He’ll make some lady of proper breeding quite a catch won’t he?
5.
6. Ye Merrie Men are coming to town and the handsome William Marcus Marlow is coming with them! Can you believe it? The Bard of Barrington! Here! They are doing the “Fall of Amberlyn”! Oh, I can’t wait! (True)
7.
8. Soldiers today! A worthless, shiftless lot! Balentyne is in total disarray. Soldiers today are too lazy – not like in my day. (False)
9. There’s a pack of dwarves in town led by a grumpy short fellow named Barnabus Eisenbauch. They’re here to fix up the watchtower or so I’ve heard. A ard working fellow -- just don’t challenge him to a drinking contest. He’ll drink you under the table every time!
10. I've heard that Father Donnigan was sent here after the Church demoted him from bishop. He got into some kind of trouble - serious trouble to be banished to the Watch Wall!
11. Bellam Barhold is such a lush. He does enjoy his wine. He’s always complaining about how he can’t get any of the good stuff here in the borderlands.
12. Have you seen Kaitlyn Mott? She’s the most beautiful woman in town! How did an ugly lump of a man like Captain Franz Mott bag a looker like her? And how does he keep her, that’s what I want to know! (True)
13. Have you had any of Mama Guisseppe’s beef stew? Delicious! I hear she goes up to the Watchtower and cooks a big batch of it for the men every Moonday! What a nice old lady.
14. Those dwarves are a thieving lot! I heard one of them was caught picking a man’s pocket.
15. Lord Thomas Havelyn is the most honorable and capable commander Balentyne has ever had. If he can't keep the Watch Wall working, then no one can!
16. Did you hear about prisoners escaping from Branderscar? Were they ever caught?
17.
18. I hear Captain Varning is leading another patrol out tomorrow. I wonder how long they'll be gone this time. The last time they were gone for five days! They're just an excuse for Varning to get out of the tower and go gallivanting around the countryside instead of doing his fair share of guard duty.
19. I hear a raven arrived at the rookery last night! I bet it carried important news though I know not about what. (False)

Half-Fiend Feats
Graveknight feats.

Hellbound Feats:

Devil’s Pact

You have signed a pact with Asmodeus, pledging your soul in exchange for unholy power.
Prerequisites: Evil alignment, you must sign a pact with Asmodeus or one of his agents.
Benefit: Three times per day, you can call upon the power of the Devil’s Pact to grant you a +2 profane bonus to any one d20 roll. You must declare that you are using this ability before the roll is made.

Special: If you die, you cannot be brought back to life by any means aside from a wish or miracle spell. Even if such a spell is employed, you return to life with three permanent negative levels.

Ignore Pain
You are familiar with pain, and have become adept at ignoring when needed.

Prerequsite: Toughness
Benefit: Whenever you have the sickened condition, you only take a –1 penalty on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Whenever you have the nauseated condition, you can take a move action and a standard action, but take a –4 penalty on any check associated with an action that requires a standard to complete (such as attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, some skill checks, caster level checks, and so on). When nauseated, you cannot take full-round actions.

Sacrificial Channel
You can consume the soul of a dying creature to heal the unholy.

Prerequisites: Channel negative energy 2d6, evil alignment.
Benefit: Whenever you make a coup de grace against a living creature, you can spend one use of your channel negative energy class feature as a swift action. If the creature dies and has at least as many Hit Dice as the number of dice you roll for channel negative energy, the channel heals all evil creatures (living and undead) within a 30-foot burst instead of its normal effect. If the creature does not have enough Hit Dice, the channel energy attempt is wasted.
