Modified Wrath of the Righteous - Book I

Game Master Lucendar

Arryn himself had become a renown hero of the crusades, having led several successful campaigns into the Worldwound, though the crusades themselves were a failure. During one such raid, he rescued Valerie Warden, a woman of untold serenity whom appeared to be of celestial descent. They fell in love, and were married with children in short order. Arryn settled into a more relaxed and happy way of life, though he trained his children for their eventual service to Sarenrae. As such, Lisandra received combat training alongside her older brothers from a young age. Though she was physically smaller than her brothers, she kept pace with them and showed some martial ability in spite of the fact she detested violence. Ultimately, Lisandra showed a far more promising talent for channeling the divine and healing as she entered late adolescence, her very physical being seemingly brimming with positive energy. Her true gift for healing had clearly descended from her mother, who recognized that her child was manifesting great celestial powers. Sadly, her gift for healing appeared to come at a cost, as she gradually grew deaf as her healing power manifested ever more strongly. Though her deafness was cause for grief amongst her family, Lisandra herself viewed it as no more than a sacrifice for the power she had been blessed with. From the age of eighteen on, Lisandra trained to harness her natural talents, and in time became a sought after healer and medic in Kenabres.

Presently, Lisandra lives a peaceful and relatively happy life in Kenabres, rendering medical and divine healing services at various temples and hospitals within the city. Though not officially associated with the Church of Sarenrae, she is a devout follower of the Dawnflower, and regularly worships in her many temples.

She typically wears her hair up in a ponytail, mostly to keep it from her eyes when she is working. Whilst adventuring, she opts for rugged clothing, including thigh high boots of soft dark red leather, form fitting breeches of light grey, and a white studded leather jacket with red accents.

Amidst the chaos, a lovely silver haired girl glided about, triaging all wounded in a methodical but not unkindly manner. She spoke quietly, though confidently as she directed an older caretaker who was following her around with a clipboard "Put this young man over there, and move this stretcher to the corner, I’ll tend to him in a moment." Before moving onto the next casualty, the young medic paused and stopped the stretcher she had just sent away to talk to a clearly frightened young man "Listen, everything will be fine, okay? We’ll take good care of you here." Her bedside manner was impeccable; the boy’s fate was uncertain, but he seemed to relax at her soothing voice and assured demeanor.

Suddenly, a hulking ulfen man in fullplate armor thundered into the infirmary. While every other caretaker in the facility immediately took notice of his entrance, the silver haired girl didn’t so much as move a muscle, her attention solely focused on the young boy in her care. As the ulfen man barked orders at various soldiers in his native tongue, it was clear to all and sundry that he was in charge. Suddenly, one of the soldiers pointed out the silver haired girl to the commanding officer, and he nodded as he barrelled towards her. He was a giant of man, nearly a foot taller than she was, yet the girl seemed oblivious to his intimidating presence. He appeared impatient, agitated and above all… angry "You there, girl, you’re in charge here? Your name?" The second question was evidently a command more than a query. Again, she paid him no attention, which only seemed to agitate him more. "Listen here now princess, I asked you a question!" The girl continued to pay him no mind, much to the horror of the soldiers in his unit; they feared him, and worried how he might respond to such impertinence. The commander’s face twisted into a horrible scowl, and he yelled as he grabbed at her shoulder and yanked her around to face him "Damn you! Answer me!"

To the commander’s surprise, the silver haired girl appeared frightened and shocked by his sudden action, seeming very much surprised to see the hulking ulfen commander. Recoiling back, she shook her head as the older woman with the clipboard stepped between them. To her credit, the old crone had the steely sense to put the commander in his place, obviously having dealt with such men in her time "Commander, that's enough! You’re obviously new to Kenabres, because if you were from around here, you’d know that this dear girl is deaf!" Immediately, the commander grew red faced and embarrassed by this revelation, and backed down enough to allow the old nurse to continue "Her name is Lisandra."

Turning around to the silver haired, the nurse made several gestures that were clearly sign language. Nodding understandingly, Lisandra appeared herself again, certain and no longer frightened as she faced commander "How can I help you commander?" She was cool and diplomatic under pressure, and clearly had plenty experience dealing with military types. The commander had obviously suffered a defeat, or at the very least a setback out in the Worldwound. Appearing somewhat mollified by her response, he relaxed slightly and gave a quick report to her "Our battalion was ambushed by vulture demons, cut us to shreds."

Lisandra studied his lips as he spoke, and softly interjected when she felt it necessary to impress upon the commander before letting him continued "Vrock. Frightening demons; their spores will grow into vines that can strangle a full-grown man. We’ll have to purify your soldiers to be safe." The ulfen man appeared annoyed at having been interrupted, but his expression changed quickly when he realized the gravity of the situation "Yes of course, spores. Yes, so we purify them then? Anyway, this is just the first wave of injured I’m afraid, you can expect dozens more." Looking over towards his men, he stroked his beard and appeared pensive and distracted "Can you handle his many?"

Lisandra smiled, and placed a hand gently on his arm to regain his attention "We can commander. Healing the injured is my gift from the Dawnflower, and it’s what we do here; your men will live to fight another day." Something about this girl's confidence put the commander at ease, and he smiled at her, probably the first time he had smiled in weeks.

Seemingly, it was she who was in charge now; she smiled assuredly while pointing towards the wall before quietly adding "Now commander, go sit over on that bench. Your injuries are minor, so you’ll just have to wait."

SPECIAL ABILITIES
=================================================
Bonus Animal Companion Hit Point (3x) Add +1 hit point to your animal companion. If you ever replace your animal companion, the new animal companion gains these bonus hit points.

Bonus Feat Humans select one extra feat at 1st level.

Combat Style Feat (Ex) At 2nd level, a ranger must select one of two combat styles to pursue: archery or two weapon combat. The ranger's expertise manifests in the form of bonus feats at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th level. He can choose feats from his selected combat style, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites. If the ranger selects archery, he can choose from the following list whenever he gains a combat style feat: Far Shot, Point-Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and Rapid Shot. At 6th level, he adds Improved Precise Shot and Manyshot to the list. At 10th level, he adds Pinpoint Targeting and Shot on the Run to the list. If the ranger selects two-weapon combat, he can choose from the following list whenever he gains a combat style feat: Double Slice, Improved Shield Bash, Quick Draw, and Two-Weapon Fighting. At 6th level, he adds Improved Two-Weapon Fighting and Two-Weapon Defense to the list. At 10th level, he adds Greater Two-Weapon Fighting and Two- Weapon Rend to the list. The benefits of the ranger's chosen style feats apply only when he wears light, medium, or no armor. He loses all benefits of his combat style feats when wearing heavy armor. Once a ranger selects a combat style, it cannot be changed.

Demonologist (Ex) At 3rd level, a Tanglebriar demonslayer gains insight into his Abyssal enemies. The demonslayer gains a bonus equal to i/2 his class level on Knowledge (planes) checks that relate to demons, Perception checks to pierce a demon's disguise, and Survival checks while tracking demons. This bonus stacks with any bonuses from favored enemy. This ability replaces endurance.

Expanded Spell List A Tanglebriar demonslayer adds the following spells to his spell list: 1st-protection .from evil; 2nd-align weapon, magic circle against evil; 4th dimensional anchor, dismissal.

Favored Enemy (Ex) At 1st level, a Tanglebriar demonslayer must choose favored enemy (evil outsider). At 5th level and every time he advances his favored enemy bonus, the demonslayer must advance his bonus against evil outsiders. In addition to the normal benefits of favored enemy, a Tanglebriar demonslayer gains a bonus equal to 1/2 his favored enemy bonus on saving throws against spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities of evil outsiders. This ability is otherwise identical to and replaces the favored enemy ranger class ability.

Favored Terrain (Aligned Plane) (Ex) You gain a +0 bonus on Knowledge (Geography), Perception, Stealth, and Survival checks, Initiative checks and cannot be tracked on any one chosen aligned Plane You gain a +0 bonus on Knowledge (Geography), Perception, Stealth, and Survival checks when using these skills on any one chosen aligned Plane. Likewise, you get a +0 bonus on initiative checks when on this plane. If you desire, you leave no trail on this plane and cannot be tracked.

Trait: Magical Knack (Ranger) You were raised, either wholly or in part, by a magical creature, either after it found you abandoned in the woods or because your parents often left you in the care of a magical minion. This constant exposure to magic has made its mysteries easy for you to understand, even when you turn your mind to other devotions and tasks. Your caster level in Ranger gains a +2 trait bonus as long as this bonus doesn't raise your caster level above your current Hit Dice.

Trait: Child of the Crusade

Once per day when you fail a saving throw against an effect
created by a demon that would possess or incapacitate
you mentally, you may immediately reroll that saving
throw as a free action. You must take the second result,
even if it is worse.

No Racial Subtype You have chosen no racial subtype.

Outsider (Evil) (Ex) You gain a +2 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks when using these skills against evil outsiders. Likewise, you get a +2 bonus on weapon attack and damage rolls against such creatures. You may make Knowledge Skill checks untrained to identify such creatures.

Ranger

Skilled Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level.

Skills Tanglebriar demonslayers gain Knowledge (planes) as a class skill.

Track (Ex) You gain +1 to Survival checks made to follow tracks.

Wild Empathy

Wild Empathy (Ex) You can improve the attitude of an animal. This ability functions just like Diplomacy check made to improve the attitude of a person. You roll 1d20+2 to determine the Wild Empathy check result. The typical domestic animal has a starting attitude of indifferent, while wild animals are usually unfriendly. To use Wild Empathy, you and the animal must be within 30 feet of one another under normal circumstances. Generally, influencing an animal in this way takes 1 minute, but as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. You can use this ability to influence a magical beast with an Intelligence score of 1 or 2, but you take a -4 penalty on the check.

Very reluctant at first to leave their young child behind, they've decided to leave one of their new familiar hoping that it would be able to teach Glyas some magic and keep the home safe.
Since they were preparing to face the demon hordes, they thought it would be for the best to take imps as servants.

After the masters have left with his brother, the consular imp dutifully followed their orders and has tried to give the boy a good magical education, to protect the household and to tell horrible stories about his kind.

The two were far from friends, the imp used every method at his disposal for accomplishing his goal, and would often leave Glyas bruised and frightened.

Glyas saw in the imp all that was bad in this world including the reason why his parents were gone. Seeing that he could not touch it with his fist or with his father's nodachi he resorted to training with the bow.
The boy trained so much that his fingers bled but even when he managed to hit the imp it had no effect on him.

When his parents returned they seemed distant, changed, cold... They did not care about the misbehavior of their familiar and actually showed more love towards the imps.

People started avoiding them on the street and they became terrified when seeing the wizards dressed in dark robes with their imps at their side.

When they urged young Glyas to come with them at the Worlwound, the child knew it was the time... He sneaked in the middle of the night taking with him what provisions he could.

Glyas swore that he would kill every demon he would set his eyes on, that he would make his ancestors proud and would discover what really happened at the Worlwound.
