Kronn had a fantastic early childhood, free to roam the countryside with his friends, wrestling and hunting.

His father was a renowned smith in the tribe, an offshoot from the famous Tiger Lords. His family, especially his father was very close with tribal chieftain as he could always construct exactly what the chieftain asked for and well at that.

Kronn spent many hours attempting to perfect his skills at the forge. Impatient and frustrated, Kronn found nothing but disappointment as his work was shoddy and not nearly as pristine as his father’s creations.

Kronn received the nickname “Ravager” early on as a young boy as his rough play usually resulted in the destruction of the things around him. Later, he channeled that nature into battle where it served him well.

One day, while sparring with his best friend who just happened to be one of the sons of the Chieftain, Kronn accidentally killed him by flipping him up into the air. The boy’s head crashed down upon a rock and lay lifeless before him.

The Chieftain realizing his value as a warrior, often put Kronn into dangerous battle situations rather than kill or banish him.

Never perfecting his blacksmith skills, Kronn learned to con travelers out of money after they protested his shoddy metalwork, he would gamble with them using loaded dice finding this vocation less honorable than smithing, but definitely more fruitful. His favorite marks where the crusaders from Mendev. Weary from their journey, they were easy targets.

After the death of the chieftain’s son, Kronn’s family fell out of favor with the chieftain and began hunting scrap near Scrapwall begrudgingly taking Kronn along to help find metal. It was here that his mother and father fell into the cult of Hellion known as the Lords of Rust, unbeknownst to Kronn. Kronn hung onto his faith in Gorum as his parents seemed to abandon it, constantly berating him for holding on to his “old beliefs, but never revealing their reason for doing so.

Upon the return of the spies that the chieftain sent to follow Kronn and his family, the chieftain learned of the new interest that Kronn’s parent’s had developed in Hellion on their many trips to Scrapwall and stealthily had them killed while he was away hunting.

When Kronn arrived back from his days-long hunting trip, he was told that some mechanical soldiers called “robots” had kidnapped his parents. It was then that he vowed to rid Numeria of this metallic pestilence once and for all.

With the chieftain’s blessing, Kronn took the last items from his father’s forge, the large hammer he called “Earth-Breaker” and the two chakram along with his father’s old armor and set out towards Torch, the town that was suggested where his parents might be alive, held captive by the robot warriors.

Kronn has never learned of the existence of his sister, Kahlit the Fierce. Numeria has never discovered Kronn's slaying of a dupe who took exception with his con and tried to kill him.

Kronn currently frequents the Silverdisk to hone his con and gather information about robots in the evenings after pressing Dolga for an apprenticeship at her foundry. Down to his last coin, he sleeps where he can, desperate to find a few kindred souls to go after the robot menace.

At six-and-a-half feet, Kronn towers above most other creatures. His tall frame draped with scarred red skin that bulges occasionally from muscles. His thick black hair is unkempt and half-matted tied back with a single piece of unidentifiable sinew. The striking factor of his rough visage is a pair of piercing green eyes. A large, tattered animal skin hangs on his shoulders over his worn scale mail connected by a cord of coarse hairs woven together. The scruff on his face wreaks of ale and stew, but mostly ale.

Kronn is fiercely loyal to those who he considers to be friends. He does not easily trust others at first. Kronn loves to socialize and does not shy away from offering his opinion if it is a topic that he believes that he is knowledgeable in. He appears confident, but remains vigilant of arrogance as his mother once taught him. Kronn is unlucky in love and drinks heavily to forget this fact coupled with the recent the loss of his parents.

In hindsight, that Sarnal had no memories before his 18 years should have been a clue. That he had an uncanny knack for working with all kinds of gizmos and trinkets could have been another. But when a man named Khonnir Baine shelters you, teaching the tools of his trade and spinning you the tragic tale of how you were the only survivor of a devastating caravan attack, you don't start wondering whether you're actually an android in disguise. Especially if you really are an android, as they are notoriously prone to misunderstanding emotions.

For about six years, Sarnal lived in Khonnir's house, working in his lab. He was extremely skilled with magic, assisting Khonnir in the creation of many an item and the repairing of many a trinket. He was frail and awkward around people; his only real friend was Baine's young daughter, Val, but it didn't matter much. He had a passion for the craft, as if craftsmanship was flowing in his veins. And indeed it was.

A week Khonnir went missing, a worried Sarnal noticed something weird going on with his appearance, as if a disguising spell was fading. His dark hair was turning silk-white, his skin was taking an ashen coloration, and even his eyes seemed to be bleaching. But, most unnervingly, circuit tattoos were emerging on his skin. Circuit patterns that Sarnal knew very well, having worked on them over and over. The mark of an android. Val was as shocked as he was by this sudden transformation but her reaction should be written once I know her personality.

Set on finding out the truth about his origins, and why Khonnir had hidden the truth, there was only one decision he could take. He grabbed his spellbook, his gear, and set off to finding him.

Why did Khonnir magically disguise Sarnal? Why didn't he tell him the truth? Where did he come from? A few plot hooks.

--------------------
Appearance
Sarnal used to look like a normal human, with black hair and brown eyes, but that was before the magic hiding his real nature wore off. Now he's weirldy colorless, his hair, eyes and skin all in the same shade of pearl-grayish white. He's of medium height and feeble corporature, and he usually dresses in an artificer's outfit, with a cotton shirt (recently dyed a bright blue to provide the color his carnation is missing) and leather breeches (dyed a deep red).

--------------------
Personality
Sarnal used to be an awkward, introverted, geekish kid. This hasn't changed much, except that, of lately, he has decidedly freaked out. The discovery of his nature has made him restless, anxious and worried, a bad match for the android's innate lack of social capabilities. He's the tipe of guy who could speak for a couple hours about something he found interesting (usually related to magic, engineering or craftworks), without thinking whether his interlocutor is understanding even a single word. He could, as well, unwillingly offend people with a remark that he thought to be innocent.

As for alignment, I wrote him LN to represent both his dedication to magic and crafts and the fact that he hasn't yet been faced with any significant moral decision.

--------------------
Special Abilities
--------------------
Stern Gaze (Ex)
Inquisitors are skilled at sensing deception and intimidating their foes. An inquisitor receives a morale bonuson all Intimidate and Sense Motive checks equal to 1/2 her inquisitor level (minimum +1).

Holy Book (Su)
At 1st (level, a living grimoire forms a supernatural bond with a large ironbound tome containing the holy text of his deity and learns to use it as a weapon.
When wielding the holy book as a weapon, he deals base damage as if it were a cold iron light mace (but see Sacred Word below), is considered proficient with the book, takes no improvised weapon penalty, and gains a +1 bonus on attack rollswith the book. The tome serves as his holy symbol and divine focus, and can be enchanted as a magic weapon.
He can replace his bonded tome with another book at any time, though he must perform a 24-hour binding ritual to attune himself to the new book.
This ability replaces monster lore.

Spellcasting
A living grimoire must prepare his spells ahead of time, and can know any number of inquisitor spells. He uses Intelligence instead of Wisdom as his key spellcasting ability score (to determine his spell DCs, bonus spells per day, modifier on concentration checks, and so on), and to determine the effects and number of uses of his domain powers.
The living grimoire receives the same number of spell slots per day as a warpriestof his inquisitor level, and receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score. He must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time by choosing a time each day for 1 hour of quiet contemplation while he studies his holy book.
At 1st (level, the living grimoire’s holy book contains all 0-level inquisitor spells plus three 1st-level inquisitor spells of his choice. He also selects a number of additional 1st-level inquisitor spells equal to his Intelligence modifier to add to his holy book. At each new inquisitor level, he gains two new inquisitor spells of any spell levels he can cast (based on his new inquisitor level) for his holy book. At any time, he can learn inquisitor spells from scrolls or other written sources and add inquisitor spells he finds to his holy book.
This ability alters orisons and spellcasting and replaces cunning initiative.

Sacred Word (Su)
At 1st (level, a living grimoire learns to charge his holy book with the power of his faith. The inquisitor gains the benefits of the warpriest’s sacred weapon class ability, but the benefits apply only to his bonded holy book. Like a warpriest’ssacred weapon, the living grimoire’s book deals damage based on the inquisitor’slevel, not the book’s base damage (unless the inquisitor chooses to use the book’sbase damage).
At 4th level, the living grimoire gains the ability to enhance his holy book with divine power as a swift action. This ability grants the holy book a +1 enhancement bonus. For every 4 inquisitor levels the living grimoire has beyond 4th, this bonus increases by 1 (to a maximum of +5 at 20th level).
These bonuses stack with any existing bonuses the holy book might have, to a maximum of +5. The living grimoire can enhance his holy book to have any of the special abilities listed in the warpriest’s sacred weapon ability, subject to the same alignment restrictions, but adds bane to the general special ability list. Adding any of these special abilities to the holy book consumes an amount of enhancement bonus equal to the special ability’s base price modifier. The holy book must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus before the living grimoire can add any special abilities to it. The living grimoire can use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to his inquisitor level, but these rounds don’t need to be consecutive. As with the warpriest sacred weapon ability, he determines the enhancement bonus and special abilities the first time he uses the ability each day, and they cannot be changed until the next day.
This ability replaces judgment.

Recall (Su): With a touch, you can cause a creature to recall some bit of forgotten lore or information. The creature can retry any Knowledge skill check it has made within the past minute, gaining a insight bonus on the check equal to your Wisdom modifier. You can use this ability a number times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
------------------------------
Ancestral Weapon (trait): You have inherited a sacred tribal weapon wielded by your forebears since the days before the Rain of Stars, and you were trained in its use from a young age. Select either cold iron or silver. You begin play with a masterwork melee weapon made of the material of your choice. You must be proficient with this weapon, and its combined cost cannot exceed 500 gp. You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls with weapons made of the selected material. (masterwork cold iron heavy mace)

Bloodline Arcana: Whenever you cast a spell from the transmutation school and target only yourself, increase the spell’s duration by 50%. This does not stack with metamagic feats or abilities such as Extend Spell.

Creature Focus (feat): Choose a creature type from the ranger favoured enemies table except for humanoid or monstrous humanoid. You gain a +2 bonus on Perception checks, Survival checks, and weapon damage rolls against creatures of the selected type. You can attempt Knowledge skill checks untrained when attempting to identify such creatures. (construct). This feat counts as the favoured enemy class feature for the purpose of meeting feat prerequisites. If another ability references your favoured enemy bonus for the creature type selected, you treat your favoured enemy bonus as +2.

Doubt (drawback): You lack confidence in your abilities or confidence in the universe at large. Whenever you fail a skill or ability check, you take a –4 penalty on that type of skill or ability check for the next hour.

Nanite Strike (Ex): As a free action, you can cause nanites to flow from your body and coat the striking end of any manufactured melee weapon you wield. When you hit with a melee attack using this weapon, some of the nanites infect the blood of the victim (Poison—injury; save Fort DC 10 + 1/2 your sorcerer level + your Con modifier; frequency 1/round for 6 rounds; effect 1 Str damage; cure 1 save). At 5th level, weapons you use with this ability are treated as magical for the purposes of overcoming DR, and the poison also deals 1 point of Constitution damage. At 7th level, the damage increases to 1d2 points of Constitution damage and 1d2 points of Strength damage. At 11th level, the cure becomes two successful saves. You can use this ability for a number of rounds per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier; these rounds need not be consecutive. (6/day, DC 13)

Robot Slayer (trait): The strange automatons that plague the wilds of Numeria are a blight upon the world, and the idea that there could be countless more of these creatures lying in wait in the unknown ruins scattered throughout the region chills your blood. Khonnir’s recovery of a deactivated robot from the caves below Torch worries you—not only could that thing wake up and run amok in town, but there may well be more lurking below! You want to explore the caves under Torch to determine if there is indeed a lurking robot threat below town. You gain a +1 trait bonus on attack rolls against robots and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against attacks made by robots.

Volatile Conduit (trait): You discovered a secret that enhances the energy of some spells. Once per day as a free action, when you cast a spell that deals acid, cold, electricity, or fire damage, you can enhance that spell with volatile energy. When you do, it deals 1d4 points of extra damage of the same energy type.

Eska had always been a weakling among her people. Scrawny and lithe her Kellid parents thanked the spirits that she was healthy, at least. She was given her departed grandfather’s weapon, a cold iron heavy mace which she could barely lift at the time, and trained in battle alongside her kin. She was a horrible hunter, and an even worse tracker. Thankfully, the spirits of the land blessed Eska, and the Elders could sense magic—a powerful natural force—stirring inside her small form. They gave her a powerful protective charm and her parents rejoiced. But as her powers grew, it became clear she was not blessed. Eska was cursed.

Her magic was not natural. She had become infected by the taint that came to Numeria with the Rain of Stars. Knowing her taint would only spread amongst their people, Eska was cast out of the tribe. She tried to live the live off the land as she had been raised to—a lifestyle that would maintain her honour at least—but she was too soft. Hungry and cold, Eska swallowed her pride and entered a town for the first time.

Over time Torch became her home. She found that here, among these soft people, she was not so weak as she had once thought. She scrounged for food and supplies at the Junkyard, and soon discovered—much to her horror—that she understood more about the bits of gears, tools and technological junk than she was comfortable with. Still, selling choice bits of mechanical parts from the trash earned her some coins, and kept her belly full. After a few months of scrounging she got work as a labourer, pushing carts and hauling equipment up the Black Hill for the smiths hoping to smelt at the unnatural violet flame at its peak. The work tempered her body, making her stronger and hardier than she had ever been.

Eska has resigned herself to a shameful life in Torch, working and slowly assimilating into a lifestyle that she hated. She hates complicated creations and technology of all kinds, most especially the dreaded robots and constructs that prowl the Numerian wastes. When the purple flame on Black Hill sputtered and died out she rejoiced. But after a few days without work she wished it would flicker back to life, at least long enough for her to earn enough to eat a hearty meal. But, when Khonnir brought a disabled robot into Torch—apparently discovered below the town—Eska found her purpose.

She had to destroy it! And she had to ensure no others lurk below the surface, ready to terrorize her adopted home.

Eska is a weathered Kellid woman with long dark hair, brown eyes, and deeply tanned brown skin. Her face is set in a perpetual scowl—hateful as she is of her ‘civilized’ life in Torch and her ‘soft’ neighbours. She feels great shame over her circumstances, and the nanite taint that surges through her body. Still, she makes use of the skills its given her, knowing that only a fool refuses to use all the tools at their disposal.

Eska is curt and blunt, caring little for flattery and making friends. She’s a loner. Despite having lived in Torch over a decade, she still considers herself an outsider among its people. Like most Kellids, she hates and fears the strange technology scattered throughout her home.

Recent events in Torch have caused her to reach out to other brave (and foolish) citizens in order to enable herself a chance to explore the tunnels below the town.

Darventia (Darra) (no last name)

A strange half-Orc - well, not even half- a strange quarter Orc with origins that she claims not to know.

In reality, however, she was born to a small tribe of barbarians in the wilderness- a remarkably brutal group of barbarians, worshiping our lord in iron. Like any savage, Darra had to work hard to survive, and as a result, she's built quite strong.

But there was something else that seemed to call her, day after day. She never seemed to retain any skills people tried to teach her, and was eventually just put on tasks that required a simple set of hands rather then practiced skill.

As time went on, she became more and more distracted. Her eyes seemed almost empty, and she grew more and more quiet with each passing day. She would often seem so exhausted that she could barely stand, but would trudge on anyway.

Soon enough, however, the tribe began to get concerned. Her behavior seemed extremely odd, and soon, the chief investigated where she slept to see what he could find.

What he found was a book, leather bound and ratty, with a simple black spiral on the cover. He glanced at it, and attempted to tear it in half- he would make an example of this one who thought to bring dreadful traditions from the outside world.

But the book did not so much as bend. He tried again. And again. After a moment, he instead opened the book, and looked inside. The book is filled with texts that seem to squirm and writhe. He flipped through the pages, unable to tear himself away from this strange book.

After what seemed an eternity, the man put the book down next to the girl's sleeping form. Darra awoke, and quickly noticed that someone had moved her text- she knew all too well that this would likely mean her death, and she grabbed the book and started to run.

Exactly why no-one noticed her fleeing is hard to say- perhaps luck, or perhaps the book itself hid her away. But regardless of how it came to be, her hut was soon set ablaze. A wind picked up, and burning straw scattered.

Soon enough, the whole tribe's home was burning, as she looks back from a distant hill. The tribe scattered, and never did reform. She hugged her book tight, and wandered off. She soon found a new home in torch. Deispite her still young age of 12, she managed to get along in torch by selling her advice- it seems she would know almost anything anyone asked her. She never owned a proper home, but she would usually get a place in someone's home out of pity on rainy and cold days.

She eventually showed an aptitude for divine magic, healing those who got wounded without so much as a second thought- she was, for a short while, known for being benign.

Her unnerving manner, empty eyes, and odd book stopped anyone from actually adopting her however, leaving her something of a wandering oddity in the town. Her refusal to explain where she gets her divine magic from doesn't help either.

Her book seems to stoke a boundless hunger for knowladge, and teach her odd languages- she wants to go out and explore the many ruins of the world, but can't work up the courage to go it alone.

Though, it's starting to be whispered around town that she worships yog-sothoth- Very few people left are willing to provide her with goods or ask her for information anymore.

When the light of torch went missing, she was quickly blamed by a decent few of the townsfolk, but no-one could really prove anything.

She's 18 now, and still wandering torch- she's eager to find anyone to call friends, and hungry for exploration.

Background
Carn was found inert by a team of dwarven smiths from Torch. They had been out exploring for starmetal. When they returned to Torch and started investigating their find, Carn activated (possibly as a self defense mechanism to prevent further damage by the dwarves). Once activated, Carn was intensely interested in its surroundings. It wanted to learn everything it could about the world around it. Its memory banks were empty and is needed to learn.

The dwarves taught it about metallurgy and how to fight. They used Carn as a scout and bodyguard when out searching ruins and it quickly learned how to find and avoid various dangers and pitfalls. Also how to fight off the artificial creatures that tend to dominate such ruins in Numeria.

Eventually Carn learned enough to realize that his "parents" were simply using it as a tool and that they did not actually care about it. It wanted to use its abilities to help others not for the accumulation of wealth that the dwarves craved. Carn struck out on its own, offering its services to other people in Torch as a bodyguard when traveling in Numeria.

It was given its name by the Dwarves, the literal meaning is "One with bright scratches". It usually just goes by Carn or One. It spends its spare time at the temple of Brigh, trying to understand more about its own mechanical nature.

Personality
Carn is a bit reserved as it does not quite fit in. It tends to refer to itself as "this one", but does understand the concept of names and has no problem calling others by theirs. It tends to be somewhat humorless and has a tendency to miss sarcasm. Most of the time it does not use contractions.

With its incomplete programming it finds it difficult to do things that it does not have existing subroutines for. Often times being more awkward or clumsy than others would expect.

Appearance
Carn is practically featureless. It has no hair and no gendered appearance. Its pale skin is covered with a tracery of fine circuitry. It moves with a certain fluid grace, yet in stillness it is perhaps too artificial. It wears a hood and scarf over most of its face whenever it is in public in an attempt to hide its artificial nature from the Technic League

Special Abilities

RACE
Military Tradition: Kruv-Nimath's tribe, the Ghost Wolves, trains all their children in the ways of war. She begins play proficient in the use of the flambard and lucerne hammer.
Skilled: Like all humans, Kruv-Nimath gains 1 extra skill rank per level.

TRAIT
Robot Slayer (Campaign): Kruv-Nimath has long hated the robots that wander Numeria, regarding them as dangerous, otherworldly predators that the foolish Technic League is aiding and abetting. She kills as many as she thinks she can, and has experience fighting them now, giving her a +1 trait bonus to attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC against robots.
Ancestral Weapon (Regional): Before leaving the tribe, Kruv-Nimath was granted a powerful weapon: her great-great-grandmother's masterwork cold iron flambard. She carries it with pride.
Divine the Mystery (Kellid): Kruv-Nimath's deity grants her special insight into the workings of robots. She gains a +2 trait bonus to Knowledge (engineering) checks to identify robots and relics of Numerian technology. If she uses Bluff to feint against an intelligent construct, she does not take the normal penalty for feinting against a non-humanoid.
Xenophobic (Drawback): Kruv-Nimath doesn't trust non-Numerians (or even non-Kellids, really…). She takes a -2 penalty on Diplomacy and Sense Motive checks against creatures of a different race or from a different culture.

CLASS
Penetrating Blows: Kruv-Nimath's training and the divine guidance of Desna(?) allows her to pierce robots' (and other constructs') defenses. She treats her weapons as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming DR when attacking constructs.
Construct Influence: The fact that she hates robots practically radiates from Kruv-Nimath. She can use the Intimidate skill to demoralize constructs, and when she does so, she gains a bonus to the check equal to 1/2 her inquisitor level (min. +1).
Construct Lore: Kruv-Nimath has studied robots since she was a child, and adds twice her Wisdom modifier to Knowledge checks to identify the abilities and weaknesses of constructs.
Judgment (1/day): As a swift action, Kruv-Nimath can pronounce judgment on her foes. She gains a variety of bonuses for the duration of the combat, although she cannot benefit from them if she is frightened, panicked, paralyzed, stunned, unconscious, or otherwise prevented from participating in the combat. She can switch judgments as a swift action.

FEAT
Favored Judgment (Constructs): Kruv-Nimath's sacred bonus from any judgment she has active increases by 1 for attacks she makes against or takes from a construct.

SPELLS KNOWN
Orisons (DC 12, unlimited): Brand, Detect Magic, Light, Resistance
1st-Level (DC 13, 2/day): Divine Favor, Shield of Faith

Born in the Ghost Wolves tribe that ranges throughout Numeria, Kruv-Nimath was raised with a hatred for technology, both the objects that clutter the relics of Numeria's wastelands and the sometimes vicious robots that stalk the plains. This hatred turned to rage when one of those robots, let loose by Technic League experiments, attacked the tribe when she was 10, killing her older sister Shul-Ammanren and decimating the tribe. When she learned that the Technic League was behind the rampaging machine, she swore both to learn as much as she could about fighting these abominations and to wean the rest of Numeria off its addiction to the foul, alien technology that fell from the sky so many millennia ago.

Now that she's come of age, Kruv-Nimath has undertaken a pilgrimage away from her tribe--where her views are commonplace--to walk among the people of Numeria who might not share her dim view of technology. She believes that fighting the Technic League and the Black Sovereign (whom she calls the "weak-willed traitor") is an important goal both politically and spiritually for her people, and she hopes to one day return to the tribe with stories of her conquest that will impress even their mighty leader, Xol-Amar.

--------------------
Special Abilities
--------------------
Stern Gaze (Ex)
Inquisitors are skilled at sensing deception and intimidating their foes. An inquisitor receives a morale bonuson all Intimidate and Sense Motive checks equal to 1/2 her inquisitor level (minimum +1).

Holy Book (Su)
At 1st (level, a living grimoire forms a supernatural bond with a large ironbound tome containing the holy text of his deity and learns to use it as a weapon.
When wielding the holy book as a weapon, he deals base damage as if it were a cold iron light mace (but see Sacred Word below), is considered proficient with the book, takes no improvised weapon penalty, and gains a +1 bonus on attack rollswith the book. The tome serves as his holy symbol and divine focus, and can be enchanted as a magic weapon.
He can replace his bonded tome with another book at any time, though he must perform a 24-hour binding ritual to attune himself to the new book.
This ability replaces monster lore.
Spellcasting
A living grimoire must prepare his spells ahead of time, and can know any number of inquisitor spells. He uses Intelligence instead of Wisdom as his key spellcasting ability score (to determine his spell DCs, bonus spells per day, modifier on concentration checks, and so on), and to determine the effects and number of uses of his domain powers.
The living grimoire receives the same number of spell slots per day as a warpriestof his inquisitor level, and receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score. He must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time by choosing a time each day for 1 hour of quiet contemplation while he studies his holy book.
At 1st (level, the living grimoire’s holy book contains all 0-level inquisitor spells plus three 1st-level inquisitor spells of his choice. He also selects a number of additional 1st-level inquisitor spells equal to his Intelligence modifier to add to his holy book. At each new inquisitor level, he gains two new inquisitor spells of any spell levels he can cast (based on his new inquisitor level) for his holy book. At any time, he can learn inquisitor spells from scrolls or other written sources and add inquisitor spells he finds to his holy book.
This ability alters orisons and spellcasting and replaces cunning initiative.
Sacred Word (Su)
At 1st (level, a living grimoire learns to charge his holy book with the power of his faith. The inquisitor gains the benefits of the warpriest’s sacred weapon class ability, but the benefits apply only to his bonded holy book. Like a warpriest’ssacred weapon, the living grimoire’s book deals damage based on the inquisitor’slevel, not the book’s base damage (unless the inquisitor chooses to use the book’sbase damage).
At 4th level, the living grimoire gains the ability to enhance his holy book with divine power as a swift action. This ability grants the holy book a +1 enhancement bonus. For every 4 inquisitor levels the living grimoire has beyond 4th, this bonus increases by 1 (to a maximum of +5 at 20th level).
These bonuses stack with any existing bonuses the holy book might have, to a maximum of +5. The living grimoire can enhance his holy book to have any of the special abilities listed in the warpriest’s sacred weapon ability, subject to the same alignment restrictions, but adds bane to the general special ability list. Adding any of these special abilities to the holy book consumes an amount of enhancement bonus equal to the special ability’s base price modifier. The holy book must have at least a +1 enhancement bonus before the living grimoire can add any special abilities to it. The living grimoire can use this ability a number of rounds per day equal to his inquisitor level, but these rounds don’t need to be consecutive. As with the warpriest sacred weapon ability, he determines the enhancement bonus and special abilities the first time he uses the ability each day, and they cannot be changed until the next day.
This ability replaces judgment.

Recall (Su): With a touch, you can cause a creature to recall some bit of forgotten lore or information. The creature can retry any Knowledge skill check it has made within the past minute, gaining a insight bonus on the check equal to your Wisdom modifier. You can use this ability a number times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

Grimoire spells-
All orisons
Protection from law
Cause fear
Ear piercing scream
Cure light wounds
Bless
Command

Favored class bouns-
+1/2 level to intimidate and knowladge checks to identify monsters.

Soon enough, the whole tribe's home was burning, as she looks back from a distant hill. The tribe scattered, and never did reform. She hugged her book tight, and wandered off. She soon found a new home in torch. Deispite her still young age of 12, she managed to get along in torch by selling her advice- it seems she would know almost anything anyone asked her. She never owned a proper home, but she would usually get a place in someone's home out of pity on rainy and cold days.

She eventually showed an aptitude for divine magic, healing those who got wounded without so much as a second thought- she was, for a short while, known for being benign.

Her unnerving manner, empty eyes, and odd book stopped anyone from actually adopting her however, leaving her something of a wandering oddity in the town. Her refusal to explain where she gets her divine magic from doesn't help either.

Her book seems to stoke a boundless hunger for knowladge, and teach her odd languages- she wants to go out and explore the many ruins of the world, but can't work up the courage to go it alone.

Though, it's starting to be whispered around town that she worships yog-sothoth- Very few people left are willing to provide her with goods or ask her for information anymore.

When the light of torch went missing, she was quickly blamed by a decent few of the townsfolk, but no-one could really prove anything.

She's 18 now, and still wandering torch- she's eager to find anyone to call friends, and hungry for exploration.

Adjusted stats as follows.
-Lowered intelligence to 8
-Changed FCB from extra HP to extra skill point to offset lower int modifier
-Added 2 points to dexterity, increasing initiative, ranged attack rolls and reflex saves accordingly
-Adjusted skill modifiers to reflect lower intelligence modifier.
-Changed great fortitude feat to endurance

I made these changes to align more with my concept for Rovaan. I feel the trade off of intelligence for dexterity reflects the fact that his youth was spent in a tribal community, where book learning was not prevalent. The great fortitude feat was changed for endurance because I felt that was more fitting of an apprentice blacksmith. Long days at the forge would have required similar attributes described under the endurance feat, as opposed to great fortitude which I initially felt matched my idea however the more i look at it, I realize it's not quite what I was going for...

The first memories Varrad has are of walking through a field littered with broken technology. Alone and wearing a savaged set of armor, he staggered up the small hillside to escape the depressing filled with metal and wires. He remembers seeing the rolling crests of other valleys spread out across the landscape before losing consciousness for a long time.

When he awoke again he was in the back of a wagon, sleeping naked under blankets provided by an old man smoking a pipe. A cleric of Iomedae, he had come to the strange land as a favor to an old elven friend of his before returning to Mendev. When he was leaving Castle Urion when he took note of a figure in the distance, one that fell from sight. He ventured over and gathered the newly created android and brought him back to his wagon to recover after mending his wounds and discarding the shattered armor.

Knowing that most saw androids as a blight on creation, he had decided to find out for himself. He took the newly awoken android to Aaramor where he took residence in agreement with the tribe for his skills at healing when needed. Among the residents Varrad was looked at with disdain for being a construct. While he logically understood the emotion, he did not share it. His attempts to make friends almost invariably backfired and he was convinced he was perhaps too inferior to remain in the company of the humans there.

The cleric, sensing the struggle within the young android, decided to teach him the ways of his goddess. He wanted to see if the emotionless being could accept religion at all, or if he was simply an approximation of life. In the coming months the android showed no end to his desire for knowledge, both of the Iomedae and of the wider world. He even began training with the old cleric, learning the secrets of swordplay and reveling in the feel of a sword in his hands.

Despite the stronghold being made to fight against the demonic spill from the worldwound, the barbarians were tested. An incursion of demons pressed them from the west while an attack of rabid constructs attacked from the east. Without hesitation Varrad took up a sword and charged the constructs, fighting shoulder to shoulder with barbarians and non-tribe residents in the chaos. In the fighting the cleric who had trained him was slain. In an attempt to save him Varrad used a healing spell for the first time, causing the people gathered to see that he was able to cast divine magic. Despite this the cleric perished of his wounds.

In the aftermath Varrad took the surname of his cleric comrade and struck out into the wilds to find his purpose in the wilds of Numeria.
