About The Thundering SpiritSpeaking out against the Jade Regent is either the best or the stupidest thing Raijan has ever done, probably both. It definitely wasn't the only thing that got his family killed or scattered, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back. He couldn't stay in Kasai as a Kaminari, but he could seek vengeance as a Spirit. In time, he was forced to flee, and he has since resumed using his name, even joining the Pathfinders in his own right, fighting to tear down the tyranny he finds in his new home, but he dreams one day of returning to Minkai...

Boons: Freedom Fighter: The Thundering Spirit gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and weapon damage rolls against known slavers. Orator: The Thundering Spirit is skilled at inspiring people, particularly when he opposes tyranny. Once per adventure before rolling a skill check to convince an NPC to cooperate with him, he can add a bonus to his check equal to 1+1/2 the number of goals completed (+3). Double this bonus if the check involves convincing the NPC to participate in an uprising. Bond Breaker: Once per adventure, The Thundering Spirit may perform one of two liberating acts. He may cast shatter as a spell-like ability with a DC of 12+1/2 the goals he has completed (DC 16).

Fortune’s Return: Despite the ill omens of the Yellow Prophet, The Thundering Spirit saved Lady Qualstair from assassination and prevented unfortunate accidents from carrying deadly consequences. He has gained
Corruption Uncovered: Honoring the request of Major Colson Maldris, The Thundering Spirit sought out and uncovered corruption in Andoran.

Building Friendship: The Thundering Spirit has done a favor for Lady Silviana in Absalom, and she is willing to repay the favor. If he would earn no Prestige Points at the end of an adventure that included one or more encounters in Absalom, I can cross this boon off to earn 1 Prestige Point instead. Liberty Never Rests: Quick thinking and quicker action are necessary elements of heroism, and The Thundering Spirit is prepared to act promptly to defend others. I can cross this boon off before rolling initiative to roll twice and take the better result. Gift of the Ghaele: Sulianna the Luminescent, an azata whom The Thundering Spirit rescued, owes him a debt and has granted him a fraction of her power. He may use one of the following as a spell-like ability once, using his character level as his caster level:
Caravan: Kaminari Raijan owns a controlling share in a caravan that makes regular trips through the Inner Sea region. He isn't required to maintain a presence in the caravan, and thus does not need to accompany the caravan as it makes its journeys, but he does shoulder some of the responsibility of ownership. For the most part, this means handling things like representing the caravan's interests to important merchants, politicians, and aristocrats. Raijan represents the caravan as an upstanding citizen and above-the-board merchant; he can use Diplomacy to make Day Job rolls. The Chelish Embassy of Absalom has recognized The Thundering Spirit for his outstanding service to the Empire. He has been granted one free use of the divination spell from a Cleric of Asmodeus. He can only use this boon in Egorian, Cheliax’s diabolical capital city. The Andoren Embassy of Absalom regards The Thundering Spirit as an upstanding free citizen of the Republic. Five Storms's Ruin: When The Thundering Spirit defeated the oni Kikonu, it was only the beginning. The visions of the Five Storms's wickedness shown to him by the Amatatsu Seal filled him with righteous fury. Once per day as a free action, he may channel this fury to gain a +1 morale bonus on attack and damage rolls against targets with the oni subtype and a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities from oni sources. These bonuses last for 1 minute. Mercy's Blessing: The Thundering Spirit survived the transformative power of Verdant Spark, and he now has a measure of protection against other conditions that would attempt to harm his body. He may once reroll a saving throw against a poison or disease and take the better result. Nira's Gratitude: Thanks to his assistance in solving Mercy's mysteries, Nira has slowly started to regain her sense of self and memories as Amenira. After receiving some repairs at the Grand Lodge, she is eager to continue to learn and explore alongside people who helped her. Raijan can coax her to remember some of her former abilities at great effort. Once, after he rolls a Knowledge, Perception, or Sense Motive check but before the results are revealed, he can roll a second time using Nira's bonus instead (6+his character level), representing Nira's insights. Duskwarden’s Favor: Raijan's actions below Kaer Maga have impressed the Duskwardens, and these guides taught him some of their tricks for safely navigating dangerous caverns. He can use up this boon to gain the ranger favored terrain ability (+2) in underground environments for the remainder of the scenario. Suishen's Wisdom: The Guardian Blade of the Amatatsu respects Raijan's dedication to restoring that Imperial family to power. He has schooled Raijan in courtly matters, granting him a +2 bonus on Diplomacy checks when dealing with members of royalty or nobility. In addition, Raijan may reroll such a check once per day, making the second roll before he knows the results of the first roll and taking the result of the reroll even if it is worse. Savior of the Tapestry (2/2): The Thundering Spirit has averted the imminent collapse of the Hao Jin Tapestry, saving the lives of everyone who calls the demiplane home. An Aspiring Warrior from the Muckmouth Lizardfolk has decided to join the Pathfinder Society. She's determined to someday best The Thundering Spirit in combat, but for now, she's happy to share a few of her tricks. The Thundering Spirit can spend 2PP to learn Draconic and may twice call upon her aid to use her modifiers for Acrobatcis or Swim (+11*), or to add +1d6 on all his damage rolls for one round. Radiant Ruby Feathers (2/2): The Thundering Spirit's repair efforts were so successful that the phoenix guardians had extra magical energy left over, which they have gifted back to him in the form of a pair of feathers imbued with sparks of Hao Jin's power. Twice as a standard action The Thundering Spirit may use the following* Spell Like Abilities at CL=Char Level:
