About Naia TemlowHero Points:
Hero Points can be spent at any time and do not require an action to use (although the actions they modify consume part of your character’s turn as normal). You cannot spend more than 1 hero point during a single round of combat. Whenever a hero point is spent, it can have any one of the following effects.
Act Out of Turn: You can spend a hero point to take your turn immediately. Treat this as a readied action, moving your initiative to just before the currently acting creature. You may only take a move or a standard action on this turn. Bonus: If used before a roll is made, a hero point grants you a +8 luck bonus to any one d20 roll. If used after a roll is made, this bonus is reduced to +4. You can use a hero point to grant this bonus to another character, as long as you are in the same location and your character can reasonably affect the outcome of the roll (such as distracting a monster, shouting words of encouragement, or otherwise aiding another with the check). Hero Points spent to aid another character grant only half the listed bonus (+4 before the roll, +2 after the roll). Extra Action: You can spend a hero point on your turn to gain an additional standard or move action this turn. Inspiration: If you feel stuck at one point in the adventure, you can spend a hero point and petition the GM for a hint about what to do next. If the GM feels that there is no information to be gained, the hero point is not spent. Recall: You can spend a hero point to recall a spell you have already cast or to gain another use of a special ability that is otherwise limited. This should only be used on spells and abilities possessed by your character that recharge on a daily basis. Reroll: You may spend a hero point to reroll any one d20 roll you just made. You must take the results of the second roll, even if it is worse. Special: You can petition the GM to allow a hero point to be used to attempt nearly anything that would normally be almost impossible. Such uses are not guaranteed and should be considered carefully by the GM. Possibilities include casting a single spell that is one level higher than you could normally cast (or a 1st-level spell if you are not a spellcaster), making an attack that blinds a foe or bypasses its damage reduction entirely, or attempting to use Diplomacy to convince a raging dragon to give up its attack. Regardless of the desired action, the attempt should be accompanied by a difficult check or penalty on the attack roll. No additional hero points may be spent on such an attempt, either by the character or her allies. Cheat Death: A character can spend 2 hero points to cheat death. How this plays out is up to the GM, but generally the character is left alive, with negative hit points but stable. For example, a character is about to be slain by a critical hit from an arrow. If the character spends 2 hero points, the GM decides that the arrow pierced the character’s holy symbol, reducing the damage enough to prevent him from being killed, and that he made his stabilization roll at the end of his turn. Cheating death is the only way for a character to spend more than 1 hero point in a turn. The character can spend hero points in this way to prevent the death of a familiar, animal companion, eidolon, or special mount, but not another character or NPC. Quick View Stats for Combat:
Naia's Background:
"That's it Naia, heft it straight over your shoulder, yet try to manage an arc if the distance is further - the weight will help drive it in true." Which is it? Straight or an arc? Make up your mind, buzzard! Naia was, as usual when receiving instruction or advice from her grandfather, quite irritated. His laconic nature was deeply at odds with her more serious and dedicated mien, even though he'd lived most his life on the Sea, and had thrown more harpoons than she had hairs on her head. She should respect him, and she did, after her own, youthful fashion. She raised the heavy weapon up and steadied it with all her strength, ready to throw. It was all she could do to maintain any kind of balance on a rocking boat, her grandfather clearing his throat in that annoying way that meant he was about to offer more advice. "Now. Yer feet. You want 'em planted far apart, but still in line, the better to make you able to push against the deck when yer throw..." Naia gritted her teeth. ********************************************************* The Temlows of Saltmarsh are a well respected if not well to do whaling family, a clan of three sisters and their husbands, many children and more dogs than seems prudent even for rural folk. The chieftainess of this rowdy set is the incomparable Dara Temlow, apparently a wildcat in her youth who ran away to become an adventurer before returning with an arm gone below the elbow and a trunk full of riches. Or at least the rumours say - though the arm is shy a forearm and hand. Dara thumbed her nose up at every offer of marriage from those who sought to gain her secret wealth, and returned to the sea, on whaling vessels and among her own people. She chose a proficient whaler, a quiet fellow, Hamkal by way of his name. Their three daughters were whalers, and their grandchildren too. Including the fiery Naia, youngest daughter of Dara's youngest daughter. The Flan say the youngest of the youngest of the youngest will be a handful, and as Dara was the youngest of her family, Naia is most definitely the spitting image of her grandmother, and as like in personality or so the greybeards in town say. For her part, Naia is a dutiful member of her clan, her fire reserved for coping with her grandfather (who she terms "The Buzzard") and her ever interfering aunts and cousins, whose endless internecine involvements consume much of the clan's day to day (and evening) activities. When the town council called for help in investigating the old alchemist's manse, Naia begged her grandmother to let her go. To Naia's surprise, Dara not only gave her permission, but gifted Naia with her chain warshirt - a handsome gift indeed. Caparisoned as if for an epic quest, Naia carries her harpoon with grim determination and more than a little pride. She is a Temlow, and Saltmarsh is her home. “Gram”: Dara Temlow

Combat Expert: At 1st level, whenever an adjacent foe attempts to take a 5-foot step away from you, you may also make a 5-foot step as an immediate action so long as you end up adjacent to the foe that triggered this ability. If you take this step, you cannot take a 5-foot step during your next turn. If you take an action to move during your next turn, subtract 5 feet from your total movement.

Weapon Group: Spears Bravery (Ex)

GEAR:
Weapons: Harpoon, 5 gp, 1d8, x3 (20ft..), 16 lbs., Spoiler:
Cost: 5 gp Damage (s): 1d6 Damage (m): 1d8 Critical: x3 Range: 20 ft. Weight: 6 lbs. Type: P Special: see text If you are not proficient with harpoons they are considered spears. The weight does not include the rope typically attached to the harpoon, and without a trailing rope the weapon functions as a normal spear. On a successful hit, the target takes damage and is entangled. An entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty on Dexterity, can move at only half speed, and cannot charge or run. If you control the trailing rope by succeeding on an opposed Strength check while holding it, the entangled creature can move only within the limits that the rope allows. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make a concentration check with a DC of 20 + the spell's level or be unable to cast the spell. You can only entangle a Large- sized or larger creature with a harpoon.

Net:
When you throw a net, you make a ranged touch attack against your target. A net’s maximum range is 10 feet. If you hit, the target is entangled. If you control the trailing rope by succeeding on an opposed Strength check while holding it, the entangled creature can move only within the limits that the rope allows. If the entangled creature attempts to cast a spell, it must make a concentration check with a DC of 15 + the spell’s level or be unable to cast the spell. An entangled creature can escape with a DC 20 Escape Artist check (a full-round action). The net has 5 hit points and can be burst with a DC 25 Strength check (also a full-round action). A net is useful only against creatures within one size category of you. A net must be folded to be thrown effectively. The first time you throw your net in a fight, you make a normal ranged touch attack roll. After the net is unfolded, you take a –4 penalty on attack rolls with it. It takes 2 rounds for a proficient user to fold a net and twice that long for a non-proficient one to do so. Entangled:
The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell. Snag-Net:
Benefit: A snag net works like a typical net exotic weapon, except it has the trip weapon special feature. If you entangle an opponent and hold the trailing rope, on your turn in place of a melee attack you may make a trip combat maneuver check against that opponent; if you succeed, you may trip the opponent or deal 1 point of piercing damage to the opponent.
The concentration DC to cast while entangled in a snag net is 17 + the spell’s level. The Escape Artist DC to escape a snag net is 22. |
