Aura of Efficiency (Su) Baltor can emit a 30-foot-radius aura that grants his allies a +4 bonus on all saving throws against effects that inflict the fatigued or exhausted condition. Any equipment wielded by his allies within this area gets a bonus to hardness equal to 1/2 his cleric level, and his allies’ attacks against targets within this area ignore an equal amount of hardness. Baltor can use this aura for a number of rounds per day equal to his cleric level. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. Condescending (trait - drawback) Raised with the assurance that only those like him are truly worthy of respect, Baltor have an offputting way of demonstrating that he looks down on those not of his race and ethnicity. Baltor takes a –5 penalty on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks to improve other creatures’ attitudes toward him. Craftsman (racial) Dwarves are known for their superior craftsmanship when it comes to metallurgy and stonework and receive a +2 racial bonus on all Craft or Profession checks related to metal or stone. Defensive Training (racial) Dwarves get a +4 dodge bonus to their AC against monsters of the giant subtype. Divine Boon Baltor gains the first boon of his Divine Obedience feat. This ability allows him to access these boons earlier. Divine Smith (Su) Whenever a forgemaster casts a spell that targets a weapon, shield, or armor, the spell takes effect at +1 caster level. If the spell has one or more metamagic feats applied, he reduces the total level adjustment to the spell by 1 (minimum 0). Gift of Tongues Baltor selected the draconic language as a gift from Torag. He gains the ability to speak and write this new language fluently, so as to better communicate with those he meets in the course of his travels. The ability to comprehend these languages is an instantaneous divine gift, and spells and effects that dispel persistent effects can’t remove his gift of tongues. Glory of Old (trait - region) In his veins flows the blood of dwarven heroes from Tar Taargadth. Baltor receives a +1 trait bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and poison. Guardian of the Forge (trait - religion) Torag’s sacred duties are to protect the faithful, take lessons from the great craftsmen and strategists of the past, and prepare against dark times. Baltor receives a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (engineering) and Knowledge (history) checks. Knowledge (engineering) is a class skill for him. Hardy (racial) Dwarves receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities. Industrious Urbanite (racial) Dwarves who have adapted to the expectations of their host cities make double the normal progress on Craft checks to create nonmagical items and gain a +4 bonus on Profession checks to earn money. Master Smith (Ex) A forgemaster can craft mundane metal items quickly, using half their gp value to determine progress, and can craft magical metal items in half the normal amount of time. Multitude of Talents (Ex) Baltor finds herself in many strange situations requiring a variety of skills. He gains a +4 sacred or profane bonus on any skill check attempted with a skill in which he has no ranks. This bonus applies only to skill checks that can be made untrained. Obedience (Ex) In order to maintain his abilities, Baltor must perform a daily obedience to Torag. Protective Grace (Su) Torag rewards Baltor with heightened awareness and reaction skills, making him more difficult to strike in combat. Baltor gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC. Runeforger (Su) A forgemaster may inscribe mystical runes upon a suit of armor, shield, or weapon as full-round action, using this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + his Intelligence modifier. These runes last 1 round per cleric level, but inscribing the same rune twice on an item increases this duration to 1 minute per level, three times to 10 minutes per level, and four times to 1 hour per level. Erase affects runes as magical writing. Only one type of rune marked with an asterisk (*) may be placed on an item at any given time. ->Durability: The inscribed item’s hardness increases by an amount equal to the forgemaster’s Wisdom modifier, and its hit points increase by an amount equal to twice his level. ->Featherlight: The inscribed item’s weight is halved; a metal item’s weight is reduced to 1/4 normal. If inscribed on a suit of armor, its armor check penalty for Acrobatics, Climb, and Jump checks is halved. ->Ghostglyph*: The inscribed weapon, shield, or armor gains the ghost touch special ability. ->Invulnerability*: The inscribed armor grants its wearer DR/magic equal to 1/2 her cleric level. ->Tracer: For as long as the rune lasts, the cleric may sense its location at will as a standard action, as if using locate object. Skilled Evangelists possess a range of skills across multiple disciplines. Disable Device and Stealth are class skills for Baltor. Slow and Steady (racial) Dwarves have a base speed of 20 feet, but their speed is never modified by armor or encumbrance. Spark of Creation (trait - magic) Baltor has always had a knack for making useful things, and his talent as an artisan was evident even at an early age. Baltor gains a +1 trait bonus on Craft checks, and the cost of creating magic items is reduced by 5%. Stability (racial) Dwarves receive a +4 racial bonus to their Combat Maneuver Defense when resisting a bull rush, drag, or trip attempt while standing on the ground. Steel Spells A forgemaster adds the following spells to his spell list: 1st—crafter’s curse, crafter’s fortune, lead blades; 2nd—chill metal, heat metal, shatter; 3rd—keen edge, versatile weapon; 8th—iron body, repel metal or stone. Stonecunning (racial) Dwarves receive a +2 bonus on Perception checks to potentially notice unusual stonework, such as traps and hidden doors located in stone walls or floors. They receive a check to notice any such features that they pass within 10 feet of, whether or not they are actively looking. Weapon Familiarity (racial) Dwarves are proficient with battleaxes, heavy picks, and warhammers, and treat any weapon with the word “dwarven” in its name as a martial weapon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ EQUIPMENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Weapons +3 holy warhammer, mwk crossbow with 20 bolts, mwk heavy pick (works also as a mwk tool), mwk battleaxe Worn dwarven boulder helmet, +3 restful full plate with vitalguard, +3 rallying buckler, iron holy symbol of Torag, signal horn, traveler’s outfit Slotted Items amulet of natural armor +1, belt of physical might +2 (STR/CON), cloak of resistance +3, gloves of swimming and climbing, headband of inspired wisdom +2, ring of protection +2 Wands, Rods, Etc wand of cure light wounds (12 charges) Backpack handy haversack, holy text (Hammer and Tongs, works also as a mwk tool for K.
