He is 28 years old. Background: Dexter is the seventh in a long line of smiths who dwell in the Kingdom. His family for as long as anyone can remember is from THE City. No matter the ruling family, smithing work, especially the forging of weapons, armor, and high quality goods have been sought after and the smiths who can perform such work, spared from the upheavals of the Nobility. Dexter’s family by the time of his birth has gathered significant prestige and wealth. Dexter grew up though wanting to be something more than a smith. He spent long days in the forge helping his father as it was his duty, even as a young man. Through many hours of discussions, Dexter convinced his father to allow him to attend University, his argument was that with the proper knowledge, he could begin to forge items of great power using the secrets of wizardry. Greed has long been a vice for the Quigley family and the coins amassed from such works filled his fathers’ head. Dexter was sent to university to learn to become a wizard. While there Dexter learned a great deal about the mysteries of the arcane. Dexter was able to make significant contacts in his time at University, what he was not able to do was display any arcane abilities whatsoever. Despite understanding the theories and recognizing many arcane and divine spells on sight, he simply could not master the hand gestures and recite the proper articulation to make the effects happen for him. Unable to complete the upper echelon training, Dexter was sent away from the University to a furious father who did not want to hear about his son being a failure, especially after laying out so much coin on the scheme. The family business was handed to his younger brother, Ruthven and Dexter had to make his own way in the world. Fortunately for Dexter, the contacts he made proved to be most valuable. Many Noble fops failed the tests as well and landed places in the military hierarchy of the Kingdom. It was there that Dexter saw an opportunity to strike back at his father. He began competing for business his father had held for a long time, after all, Dex was a better craftsman than his brother. Once his reputation as intact he developed a scheme to make money the likes of which his family had never seen and he probably would not have made as a wizard staring at dusty tomes anyway. Dex began purchasing weapons from dealers who created poor quality goods either off island or from other cities. Dex would fill in their maker’s mark, impress his own, and place a sheen finish on the weapons so they appeared to be of masterwork craftsmen make and quality. For four years, Dex made enough money to practically buy into the Nobility. His own father begged him to come back and take over the Quigley family business again. Before Dex could come back and gloat in his father’s face, disaster struck. A group of Knights exploring the Savage North entered into a fierce combat and many perished as Dex’s poor quality goods failed to stand up to the tests that practice combat would never require. The maker’s mark of DQ was traced with ease back to his smithy. His wealth was gone, his prestige gone. The scandal, too much for his father caused him to have a massive heart attack and die once Dex was charged. Ruthven the new Patriarch of the family disowned Dex. Dex was found guilty of his crimes with barely a trial and stripped of his wealth and status. His Brother's pay off to the powers that be is the sole reason he is now an obscure blacksmith and not in prison for his crimes. In a short time, Dexter has become quite the bitter man.

Special Abilities:
Artisan Bonus An artificer gains a bonus to all Use Magic Device checks equal to one half his artificer level, round down, to a minimum +1. Brew Potion Per the Feat. Ingenuity An artificer has a pool of ingenuity points equal to his artificer level plus his Intelligence modifier. 6
Scribe Scroll Per the Feat. Trapfinding An artificer gains a bonus to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device checks equal to one half his artificer level, round down, to a minimum +1. An artificer can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps and this feature is in all other ways identical to the rogue's trapfinding ability. Rugged Craftsman At 2nd level, when an artificer is crafting magical items while adventuring on in a dangerous environment, he gains the full benefit of 4 hours per day, rather than the normal 2 hours of work for 4 hours of effort. The amount of gold piece value achieved per hour is still based on the normal 8 hours per day and divided normally. The artificer can also create multiple magical items in single day, provided that the total gold piece value is still within his gold piece limit per day for enchanting. Unravel Starting at 2nd level, the artificer can spend a point of his ingenuity pool to disrupt the magical energies that power magical and psionic items. At 5th level and every three levels thereafter, this ability improves. Suppression (Su): By spending one point of ingenuity and a full-round action that provokes, the artificer can attempt to suppress an unattended magical or psionic item or an unattended object that is the subject of a magical or psionic effect for a number of rounds equal to his Intelligence modifier. Doing so requires the artificer to touch the item and succeed in a caster level check against a DC equal to 11 + the caster or manifester level of the item or the effect on the item. Using this ability on magical or psionic traps causes the trap to be bypassed for as long as it is suppressed. This ability can used to suppress a cursed item, although removing a suppressed cursed item does not always remove the effects of the curse. If the artificer knows the item is cursed before he attempts to suppress it, he is not subject the effects of the cursed item.

Dexter’s family by the time of his birth has gathered significant prestige and wealth. Dexter grew up though wanting to be something more than a smith. He spent long days in the forge helping his father as it was his duty, even as a young man.
Dexter was sent to university to learn to become a wizard. While there Dexter learned a great deal about the mysteries of the arcane as well as the Divine, after all, the damn Mitrans constantly force religion upon the populace. The same force feeding of Religion was instituted into arcane mystery courses, going as far as to say that arcane power was the creation of the divine and therefore a mere offshoot of divine energies wielded by the Mitrans. Dexter was able to make significant contacts in his time at University, what he was not able to do was display any arcane abilities whatsoever. Despite understanding the theories and recognizing many arcane and divine spells on sight, he simply could not master the hand gestures and recite the proper articulation to make the effects happen for him.

The scandal, too much for his father caused him to have a massive heart attack and die once Dex was charged. Ruthven the new Patriarch of the family disowned Dex. Dex was found guilty of his crimes with barely a trial and sent on his way to of all places the notorious Branderscar Prison. In a short time, Dexter has become quite the bitter man. I will seek retribution against the Kingdom should I ever get out of here. Everyone does it, why should I go to jail for it! This is not fair! But Dexter will likely never see the outside of hard labor ever again… |
