Vhinservun (Zorblag) - thanks for putting that together!
thanks Vhin. quick question about the oath of artifice...it doesn't mention metal weapons...just armour...is that correct? oh and have to make a final few yweaks to my items...no armour since the defence bonus is there..and forgot t factor in ABP...
@Smiles-a-lot, my pleasure! I like having things organized enough to actually do it sometimes.
@Linndell, that is how I read the Oath Against Artifice (which doesn't mean I'm right.) Also we're actually not using ABP I don't think, though many people are simulating it with the Oath of Offerings and the Boons that do almost the same thing.
thanks Vhin. quick question about the oath of artifice...it doesn't mention metal weapons...just armour...is that correct? oh and have to make a final few yweaks to my items...no armour since the defence bonus is there..and forgot t factor in ABP...
There's no automatic bonus progression -- did I write that somewhere?
ignore my braindeadedness...confused the ABP with another game i'm thinking of making a character for...
I updated the campaign page some more. I think we decided to do a free VMC and a free archetype (or was the request for EITHER a free VMC or a free archetype?). That's the only change I remember that I'm trying to fix for when someone inevitably dies.
I believe it was a free VMC rather than a choice. I've now updated Vhinservun to be reincarnated as an Undine. Now to find her new avatar!
I have looked over the oaths but the only oath I can see that would fit Krauz would be the Oath Against Mercy, which seems problematic. Would it mean I could never let any enemy that we encounter survive or is it any enemy that personally attacks me/harms me or if I harm them?
If it is the latter, I can take it. If not, I'll skip the oaths. It'll cost me some power but we're all pretty ridiculous as it is.
EDIT: Vhin, that document is awesome. Thank you for making it!
ok...made a few changes...taking a few oaths...artifice, loyalty and humility. taking the abilities enhancement and the inhuman resilience
also...what elven gods are there? wanna make sure before i decide which one to be loyal to...
Here are a couple extra questions that will help me make a more useful archetype for your build.
Does Soto usually use in combat? One-hander and shield, two-hander or dual wielding one-handers?
Do you have your traits already sorted out or would there be either a faith or magic trait free that I could use to boost some abilities?
Do you have any feats that you know you'll be taking? I might be able to replace them with talents that do the same thing and use the feat slots to have your spheres powers interact with your other paladin abilities in easy to use, helpful ways.

Actually, I promised simple, so here's an archetype that you could add no matter what else you're doing with your build. You'll fight like normal and cast the spells added like normal. It gives you a small additional smite option (which lasts one attack, costs an immediate action and will usually be usable once per fight,) and gives you some more healing and restoration spells. Let me know if it all makes sense or if anything looks like you'd hate to have it. While no where near optimized, it should be pretty easy to use to supplement the rest of what you're doing.
Martial Focus: You start each day with Martial Focus. It can be expended to take 13 on any single Fortitude or Reflex save (like take 10, but you automatically roll a 13 instead) or used for your Insightful Strike. You recover martial focus after 1 minute of rest, taking the total defense action, or Using Focusing Grasp.
Insightful Strike (Su) Whenever the valiant champion would successfully damage a creature, he may, as an immediate action, determine if the creature is evi (as if using Detect Evil.) If the creature is evil, he may expend her martial focus to smite the creature as a free action that can be taken even when it is not her turn, applying the benefits of her smite evil ability to the creature as normal for the attack.
Focusing Grasp The valiant champion can use her lay on hands ability on herself as a move action to regain her martial focus, in addition to healing normally.
Talents These are a set of talents (all from the Life Sphere) which will let you do some more healing and be very good at removing detrimental conditions.
Casting Tradition: Life Sphere
Casting Tradition: Life: Mass Healing
Level 1 Talent: Life: Ranged Healing
Level 2 Talent: Life: Cure
Level 3 Talent: Life: Restore Capacity
Level 4 Talent: Life: Restore Health
Level 5 Talent: Life: Restore Senses
Level 6 Talent: Life: Restore Spirit
Level 7 Talent: Life: Energizing Vitality
Level 8 Talent: Life: Break Enchantment
Spherecasting: What can you do?
All the effects below are subject to Spell Resistance and count as spells, so might be resisted with a DC 12 + Cha bonus Will save. A save negates all but the Cure action and halves the healing from Cure. This might matter if someone has an oath against magic or you’re healing an unwilling creature for some other reason.
All of the standard actions below will grant the target +30 to all movement speeds for 1 minute or until they take damage from either failing a saving throw or being hit with an attack roll.
All the standard actions affect 1 creature within 25 feet, but you can spend 1 extra SP on any of them to affect up to 3 creatures (still within 25 feet)
Spell Pool: Each day you gain a spell pool of 12 + Cha bonus spell points to use on the following Actions.
New Standard Casting Actions (basically your new spells):
Break Enchantment: Movement + Spend 1 SP to remove all magic from the target that has a duration. This may be used against curses including cursed equipment, although it does not remove the curse from the equipment and instead suppresses the effect long enough for the item to be removed.
Instead of a saving throw, you must succeed at a magic skill check against each magical effect in order to remove it. You may choose not to remove certain effects if you so desire (for example, you may target only harmful effects and not beneficial ones). This counts as using the break enchantment or remove curse spell against those spells and effects that specify they can only be removed through those spells. This has no effect on other instantaneous effects.
Cure: Movement + Spend 1 SP heal 1d8 + 20 damage.
Invigorate: Movement + Spend 0 SP give 4 temporary HP (up to their max HP at most.)
Restore Body: Movement + Spend 1 SP to remove the battered, fatigued, exhausted, sickened, and nauseated conditions, and and you may attempt a magic skill check (1d20 + 8) against the DC of any poison or disease the target is suffering from. On a success, this removes that poison or disease from the target. This does not reverse damage the target may have suffered from the poison or disease (such as ability damage), but it does stop the poison or disease from causing any more.
Restore Capacity: Movement + Spend 1 SP to allow target to make an immediate Escape Artist Check with +4 Circumstance bonus against any applicable condition, remove the stunned condition, remove lessening of movement speed or removal of movement type or loss of power of speech. If the target is paralyzed you may attempt a magic skill check (1d20 +8) agains the DC to remove the paralysis.
Restore Mind: Movement + Spend 1 SP to remove all of confusion, the dazzled, dazed, shaken, frightened, panicked, and staggered conditions, blindness, deafness, loss of other senses (tremorsense, blindsense, etc …) and cure 1d4 points of sanity damage.
Restore Soul: Movement + Spend 1 SP to cure all ability damage as well as all ability drain to one ability score. Target is also cured of 1 temporary negative level or suppress 1 permanent negative level for 4 minutes.
So I went looking through most of the people's character sheets and I realize my AC is nowhere near the rest of the frontliners. I've got a lot of ways of self-healing myself so hopefully that'll balance things out. I might be an off-tank or, thanks to my speed, be really good at moving around the enemy and attacking their back line people?
Anyone have some suggestions, if any at all? I know I'm not super-duper optimized but I also am hoping I'm not a detriment to the group either.

@Soto, one thing I'll add to that archetype is that if you have free feat available you can take Channel Life which would let you use any of the spell like abilities as part of your channel. You'd still pay the cost and it would only affect one person unless you spent the extra SP to have it affect more than one, in which case it would affect everyone the channel does. It'd be a way to combine some healing/restoring functions in terms of action economy.
@Krauz, the obvious sources of AC for you are Natural Armor, Deflection and Shield. You're wearing armor now which only gives you 1 AC over what you'd get from the Defense Bonus you'd get for not wearing it (and the defense bonus would catch up next level), so it might or might not be an efficient use of gold (though I know you reference it in your backstory.) A ring of protection or amulet of natural armor would both add some if you can afford them by switching out equipment. If you can find a way to get either two feats or a feat and a talent in you could pick up Shield Focus (or the talent Shield Expert) and Unhindering Shield you could pick up a +1 Mithral Buckler would give you +3 shield bonus to AC without any penalties to attack or casting spells.
Others are using Oaths to get some bonuses to AC without having to pay for them which is making them higher than they would otherwise be. In Kolvar's case he's actually applying the Enhanced Defenses to the Defense Bonus when as far as I can tell it's supposed to be applied to a shield or suit or armor (or clothing if you're using armor AC and not wearing armor like a standard Monk.) The Defense bonus specifically says it's there to replace the need to add enhancement bonuses to armor, so by default it wouldn't apply to that, though it's up to Sebecloki how he wants the mechanisms to interact here. In Rhûnn's case he's getting Str to AC as natural armor that says it doesn't stack with other sources of Natural armor from muscles of steel (listed as Str to AC in his character sheet) so it's not clear that the NA he's getting from Inhuman resilience would also apply (though that one is an enhancemnt bonus to NA, so it's more likely to as you can usually apply enhancment bonuses on top of other bonuses.)
With the hitpoints we've got probably high healing is going to be enough to offset getting hit, so you're probably OK regardless, but those are some thoughts from my end.
Thank you for the advice! I may do some rebuilding & respeccing when it comes to gear to get an idea for it. I really like having spell storing in the armor for the ablative barrier; the healing from fast healing removes the nonlethal automatically so I actually eat pretty big chunks of damage off when it activates. Of course, that is if I am reading everything correctly.
I'm still waiting to hear about the Oath of Mercy question up above; I don't want to become a total murderhobo with it if possible. The rest, while powerful, just don't fit what I see Krauz being. The glamered enhancement is totally inefficient but I just think it looks cool and fits the character's need to look good lol.

I have looked over the oaths but the only oath I can see that would fit Krauz would be the Oath Against Mercy, which seems problematic. Would it mean I could never let any enemy that we encounter survive or is it any enemy that personally attacks me/harms me or if I harm them?
If it is the latter, I can take it. If not, I'll skip the oaths. It'll cost me some power but we're all pretty ridiculous as it is.
EDIT: Vhin, that document is awesome. Thank you for making it!
"You do not break this Oath if a defeated enemy escapes in a way that was beyond your power to stop."
Well, I guess there's a little bit of leeway in that it's unclear if, for example, a tribe of kobolds count as 'enemies' until combat begins -- you might be able to negotiate with them.
That is fair. If everyone that ends up playing is okay with that, I'll take it. I'm sure everyone will know that once combat starts, Krauz's blood demands that his enemies die.
I think that dealing with Oaths along the way is going to be an issue we'll need to work around. Might as well throw one more on for fun!
I also think that playing the character you want to play, optimized or not, is part of the fun. I'm planning on being hard to kill (my AC after buffs will probably be 32 with 24 touch (or 39 with 28 touch for up to an hour or so if I think it's necessary,) and saves should usually be closer to Fort + 15, Ref + 16, Will + 16 with the ability to reroll ones, but I expect things outside of combat or my control will still be able to kill me if I'm reckless (which I plan to be sometimes because I think we'll need to!) I don't think you're be too much of a liability unless you get charmed regularly (in which case I hope I can find things to hide behind you'd rather kill!) Whatever you're going with should be good!
yup
So I have considered a few Oaths and I think I could get away with an Oath of Loyalty (to Gorum), an Oath of Sacrifice, and an Oath against Mercy.
Roleplay-wise, I think Krauz will always make it very clear that to turn a blade or spell against him is to guarantee death. It is the only warning that his foes get. Any enemy that only battles an ally will have the fortune of surrendering.
Hopefully my big Intimidate bonus will help us a bit. I'll figure in the oaths, the bonuses they'll give, and the changes to equipment in a bit. I'll likely get the Inhuman Resilience and either Enhanced Abilities or Bonus Talents.
I am curious if anyone can help explain how the "Drawback" one works? I've read it a bit but I just can't seem to figure it out well.
Those sound good (though I think you mean something else instead of Sacrifice?) The drawbacks boon can only apply if you've got a casting tradition from Spheres of Power, so in your case it won't be of use.
Indeed! I mean the Oath of Ritual I think. I figured, after looking into it.
Now I need to decide if I want the Enhanced Abilities or take all three of the Bonus Talents and get more Gladiator goodness...
The thing about bonus talents is that you get them at particular levels. If you spend the three points in it you'll only get two for now (the ones at 2nd and 6th levels,) and then more at 10th, 14th and 18th. I thought that was worth it and went for it, but for level 8 you'll get one less talent than you put points in it (with the next coming at level 10.)
Indeed. The trade-off of the Enhanced Abilities is that I save a decent amount of money that can be spent elsewhere. Those two talents do nail me some pretty fun stuff for my intimidation goodness; being able to demoralize creatures immune to mind-affecting stuff and immune to fear and being able to extend the demoralize effect for another round on a successful hit. That lets me get the benefit to roll twice for that first attack each time. It adds up.
But...+2 to Strength, Constitution or Wisdom, and Charisma? So good too.
EDIT: Nevermind, I think I'll go with Inhuman Resilience, Enhanced Abilities, and Improved Aristeia and take the Unbreachable Heroism feat with it. Temporary Hitpoints are good stuff.

Alrighty, now I am all finished. I will just need to remember all the things I can do in combat. So many pools to consider and stuff to do, it'll be fun to see all the pieces in action.
If Sebecloki rules that I cannot use Enhanced Defenses that way, I will drop it and Shielded Form and replace them with Accelerated Recovery.
For my Oath of Offerings my plan is to donate my money to the Companions of the Broken Band, not the other players but provide a guild hall, store house, land, and porters and admin staff, or such for the group. Perhaps with the intent of helping train up young adventures so they don't make the same mistakes or befall similar tragedies some other members of the Companions have.
@Kolvar that does sound like the sort of thing that a founding member might want to do if he's come back to rejoin the organization and sees how the past couple decades have gone (they haven't been pretty from the backstories we've got.)

is my guy a little too underpowered? i'm not using any of the Path of War stuff...just a slayer, the sniper archetype...
As a slayer you'd probably want to add the Hero's Bane Archetype which would mainly give you a set of maneuvers to use during combat which can't hurt to have. If you haven't done anything with the Spheres of Might then adding an archetype from there as well probably makes sense. The Guild Assassin would basically let you add 7 talents total from spheres of Might (one of which would have to be the Scout Sphere which you'd likely want anyhow.) I'd take a look at the Sniper Sphere and the Barrage Sphere as good possible pickups. There's a good chance that you'd pick up feat equivalents from them (among other things) and get some extra feats to do more cool stuff.
is my guy a little too underpowered? i'm not using any of the Path of War stuff...just a slayer, the sniper archetype...
That's not how this works -- you can't decide to not use the Path of War stuff. You get the spheres and path of war archetypes for free, and you have to use both of them
ah...ok....have some work to do tonight then...my bad...misunderstood...
ah...ok....have some work to do tonight then...my bad...misunderstood...
It is a lot to go through but take your time, read over some stuff, and make some fun synergies. Statistically, Krauz doesn't look too heavy but with his feat combos, special abilities, and spells, he is going to just constantly be mitigating damage to some extent and/or creating temporary hitpoints.
So your slayer (sniper) is actually a Slayer (Guild Assassin, Hero's Bane, Sniper) and VMC Whatever all for free and not losing anything!!
Plus take some oaths, use some Artestia and called shots, also use your defense bonus and run around naked!!!!
Okay recruitment is closed now (the 3 weeks I said I'd give everyone is now ended). Can everyone who finished a character please post in discussion and I'll make any necessary selections if I have too many applications.
'The Game Master has not yet connected the discussion thread for this campaign.'
I think the GM needs to post there first?
Vhinservun is finished (despite my incessant tinkering,) and you the character is in the profile of this account. I'm expecting to use her, but I've also developed a backup character because it was fun.
Kazu the Fist is an Unchained Monk who mostly teleports around the battlefield and punches things hard. I present him as a character that was fun to make, but who probably fits the group less well than Vhinservun does, so who I don't actually expect to play.
Kazu was a half-orc raised among dwarves and it wasn’t a pleasant childhood. Taken in by a family of strict Berronar Truesilver worshipers because he apparently filled some sort of prophecy of a reborn dragon-king of the Sea of Dust, Kazu was raised to always tell the truth no matter the consequence, to honor Berronar Truesilver and follow her teachings and defend her name and to take what life has to offer with humility. Kazu’s almost ceaseless toil and lack of comforts left him physically impressive, but socially and intellectually shallow.
When he came of age his adopted family had a ceremony performed that awakened the power of his heritage, focused as a powerful magic emanating from his right arm. Now he can draw on the power to deliver powerful blows beyond that of a normal fighter and warp from one spot to another on the battlefield. He was sent to the Defenders of the Realm to train as a warrior and learn to use his new powers productively. There his training did expand his social skills somewhat, and he was drilled with knowledge of the noble houses of various kingdoms and empires and their etiquettes as well as how to use his fist to fight tactically, leaving him, if not well rounded in education, at least slightly less one dimensional than he had been before.
He’s now left the stronghold of the Defenders of the Realm and they have directed him to lend his services to the Brotherhood of the Broken Band. He’s not sure how well he’ll fit in with the rowdy, chaotic group, but his strong sense of obligation to the duty put before him ensures that he’ll give it his best try.

Martial Tradition and Oaths
--------------------
Defenders of the Realm ”On my honor and the honor of the Defenders who trained me, I swear to be a faithful servant. For you I shall provide valor to defend you and your peoples, loyalty to serve the needs of your realm, courage to destroy your enemies, and cunning to do your will. For me you shall provide honor to reward my deeds, glory to crown my name, and good lordship to sustain my life. So long as the circle is unbroken, my vow remains whole.”
Defenders of the Realm Benefits Defenders of the Realm benefit from a +2 competence bonus to Knowledge (local), Knowledge (nobility), and Knowledge (religion) checks, as well as a +2 competence bonus to Fortitude saves.
Oath against Artifice (1 Oath Point) You have sworn off the use of anathematic armaments and technologies. You must revere nature and may not wear metal armor or use metal shields. In addition, you may not use firearms or any technological devices which use charges. In games where advanced technology is quite common, this Oath may be worth up to three Oath points.
Oath against Mercy (2 Oath Points) You have sworn to take no prisoners in battle, sparing no enemy who turns their weapon against you. You may not capture foes alive and must kill any enemies you defeat in battle. You do not break this Oath if a defeated enemy escapes in a way that was beyond your power to stop.
Oath of Abstention (1 Oath Point) You cut excess pleasures from your consumption, surviving on only the bare necessities. You may not consume any but the most basic food and drink, meaning that you cannot consume drugs, potions, alchemical formulae, or other beneficial items that must be consumed to gain their effects. You may not consume any food or drink worth more than 1 gp.
Oath of Candor (1 Oath Point) Your words will betray no falsehood. You are not allowed to deliberately speak any lies, including bluffing, stating half-truths or concealed truths with the intent to deceive, exaggerating, telling white lies, and so on. This applies to all forms of communication. If presented with circumstances where telling the truth would bring harm, you can remain silent.
Oath of Honor (Chivalric Code) (2 Oath Points) You have sworn to uphold your good name and maintain an air of dignity in your actions. You must select a code of honor and maintain an honor score (see Ultimate Campaign) of at least 3 x your character level at all times. When you first swear this Oath or when you level up, your honor score is increased to 3 x your character level if it is lower.
Oath of Humility (1 Oath Point) You are not a leader or a bearer of glory, but rather a simple servant of greater forces. You may not accept the service of followers, underlings, or minions (including summoned, tamed, or animated minions), nor may you accept noble titles or own lands beyond what you need to survive.
Oath of Loyalty (Berronar Truesilver) (1 Oath Point) You have sworn your service to a god, nation, or leader (hereafter referred to as your patron). Your alignment must remain within 1 step of your patron’s, and you must adhere to the moral tenets of your patron while remaining in their good standing. Paladin or antipaladin codes provide a framework for what moral tenets might mean for a character who pledges an Oath of Loyalty. Minor infractions may be overlooked, but a gross defiance (such as disobeying a direct order from your patron or acting in a way that directly contradicts your patron’s teachings) is sufficient to break an Oath of Loyalty. A patron may revoke the benefits of an Oath of Loyalty at any time.
Oath of Ritual (1 Oath Point) You must perform a specific physical or magical ritual every day to maintain your abilities. This ritual takes one hour to perform and can be performed anywhere, but requires that you either spend 5 gp per character level or reduce your maximum hit points by an amount equal to your character level for 24 hours every time you perform the ritual.
Bonus Talents (3 Oath points) You gain a number of bonus talents based on how many Oath points you spend on this Oath boon. These talents may be either combat talents or magic talents, but you must meet the prerequisites for these talents and cannot select magic talents if you are not already a spherecaster. You may spend up to 3 Oath points on this Oath boon. One talent at 2nd, 6th, 10th, 14th, and 18th levels
Enhanced Abilities (Su) (2 Oath points) Your Oath grants you strength and acuity beyond that of your kin. At 4th level and every even-numbered level thereafter, you gain a +2 enhancement bonus to one of your ability scores. These bonuses do not stack with each other until you are at least 10th level, at which point they may stack up to a maximum of +4. This improves to a maximum of +6 at 13th level. From level 13 onwards, you gain two +2 ability score bonuses at every level rather than just one at even-numbered levels.
Enhanced Armaments (Su) (3 Oath Points) Your devotion enhances the abilities of your weapons. At 4th level, one weapon you wield (including a natural weapon) gains a +1 enhancement bonus on attack and damage rolls for as long as you wield it (these bonuses are still applied if the weapon is thrown). This bonus increases by 1 at 7th level and every 3 levels thereafter, to a maximum of +5 at 16th level. Alternatively, you may apply this bonus to an implement, granting an enhancement bonus to caster level with a specific sphere in place of a bonus to attack and damage rolls. This bonus does not stack with any existing enhancement bonus the weapon or implement may have. If you spend a third Oath point, the weapon or implement’s enhancement bonus also increases at 5th level and every 3 levels thereafter (to a maximum of +10 at 17th level).
The item’s enhancement bonus cannot exceed +5, but the remaining bonus can be spent to grant the item any properties that an armorist of your character level could apply to their weapons or implements. You may take this Oath boon multiple times, each time gaining the ability to apply it to an additional weapon or implement. You may change which item you apply this bonus to or change the nature of the bonus in a process that takes 1 hour. You cannot apply both Enhanced Armaments and Enhanced Defenses to the same piece of equipment.
Inhuman Resilience Su (1 Oath Point) Your Oath insulates your body and mind against harm. You gain a +1 resistance bonus to all saving throws at 3rd level, which increases by 1 at 6th level and every 3 levels thereafter (to a maximum of +5 at 15th level). You also gain a +1 enhancement bonus to natural armor at 5th level which increases by 1 at 8th level and every 3 levels thereafter (to a maximum of +5 at 17th level).
Shielded Form Su (1 Oath Point) Incredible powers shield you, granting you a +1 deflection bonus to AC starting at 6th level which increases by 1 at 9th level and every 3 levels thereafter (to a maximum of +5 at 18th level).

Traits
--------------------
Blood of Pharaohs, Campaign Long ago, one of your ancestors ruled over the Sea of Dust. Although you are many generations removed and the line of descent is hard to prove, his or her blood still runs in your veins. Perhaps you may find some proof of your lineage in the tombs of the necropolis. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Will saves. You also gain a +1 trait bonus on Knowledge (nobility) checks and that skill is always a class skill for you. In addition, you may choose an ancient language as one of your bonus languages.
Fate’s Favored, Faith The fates watch over you. Whenever you are under the effect of a luck bonus of any kind, that bonus increases by 1.
Gift for Magic (Alteration), Magic Whether through ancestry, training, or another personal aspect, your skill with a particular type of magic is far more natural than normal. Choose a sphere. You gain a +2 trait bonus to your caster level with that sphere. This bonus cannot cause your caster level to exceed your Hit Dice.
Heavy Hitter, Regional You gain a +1 trait bonus on damage rolls made with unarmed attacks.
Life of Toil, Social You have lived a physically taxing life, working long hours for a master or to support a trade. Hard physical labor has toughened your body and mind. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Fortitude saves.
Reactionary, Combat You were bullied often as a child, but never quite developed an offensive response. Instead, you became adept at anticipating sudden attacks and reacting to danger quickly. You gain a +2 trait bonus on initiative checks.
--------------------
Racial Traits
--------------------
Ability Score Modifiers Half-orc characters gain a +2 bonus to one ability score of their choice at creation (Dex) to represent their varied nature.
Size Half-orcs are Medium creatures and thus have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Type: Half-orcs are Humanoid creatures with both the human and orc subtypes.
Base Speed Half-orcs have a base speed of 30 feet.
Languages Half-orcs begin play speaking Common and Orc. Half-orcs with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Abyssal, Draconic, Giant, Gnoll, and Goblin.
Dragon Sight (2 RP) Half-orcs with this trait gain some of the keen senses of dragonkind. They have darkvision with a range of 120 feet. This replaces darkvision and intimidating.
Pariah While many cultures discriminate against half-orcs, in some, particularly dwarven communities, half-orcs are complete social pariahs. It goes without saying that such a culture does not provide outlets for a half-orc to practice with traditional orc weapons. The few half-orcs who survive to adulthood in such harsh social climates are deeply scarred by their abusive treatment and find it hard to express and understand normal emotions. Such half-orcs gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against emotion and fear effects and a –2 penalty on Bluff, Diplomacy, and Sense Motive checks. This racial trait replaces weapon familiarity.
Sacred Tattoo Many half-orcs decorate themselves with tattoos, piercings, and ritual scarification, which they consider sacred markings. Half-orcs with this racial trait gain a +1 luck bonus on all saving throws. This racial trait replaces orc ferocity.

Skill Unlocks
--------------------
Acrobatics You can move at normal speed through a threatened square without provoking an attack of opportunity by increasing the DC of the check by 5 (instead of by 10). You aren’t denied your Dexterity bonus when attempting Acrobatics checks with DCs of 20 or lower.
Diplomacy The time required to influence a creature’s attitude or gather information is halved.
Handle Animal Creatures you have trained gain a +2 bonus on Will saves when adjacent to you.
Knowledge (Nobility) When you successfully identify a creature, you gain one additional piece of information for every 5 ranks you possess in that Knowledge skill.
Perception You remain alert to sounds even in your sleep, and the normal DC increase to Perception checks when you are sleeping is halved. The distance modifier on the DC of Perception checks you attempt is reduced to +1 per 20 feet.
Survival You reduce all nonlethal damage you take from heat, cold, starvation, or thirst by 1 point for every 5 ranks you possess in Survival.
Combat Expertise If you spend stamina points to raise an attack roll using the Combat Stamina feat’s benefits, ignore an amount of your Combat Expertise penalty equal to the number of stamina points you spent.
Combat Reflexes When you miss with an attack of opportunity, you can spend 5 stamina points to make a second attack for the same provoking action. That second attack of opportunity takes a –5 penalty on the attack roll and costs one of your attacks of opportunity for the round.
Combat Stamina After you make an attack roll with a manufactured weapon, unarmed strike, or natural weapon attack with which you are proficient, but before the results are revealed, you can spend up to 5 stamina points. If you do, you gain a competence bonus on the attack roll equal to the number of stamina points you spent. If you miss with the attack, the stamina points you spent are still lost.
Combat Style Master When it is not your turn, you can spend 2 stamina points to take the free action to switch your style.
Deadly Aim When using this feat, you can spend 4 stamina points to reduce the penalty to attack rolls imposed by the feat by 1 until the beginning of your next turn. You can’t reduce the penalty below 0.
Dragon Style On your second and all subsequent unarmed strike attacks made in a round, you can spend 3 stamina points before making each attack to add 1-1/2 times your Strength modifier to that attack’s damage roll.
Improved Critical When you hit with an attack and the roll fails to threaten a critical hit by 3 or less, you can spend 5 stamina points to attempt to deal double damage anyway. Roll as if confirming a critical hit. If this confirmation roll succeeds, your attack is still not a critical hit, but it deals double damage.
Power Attack When using this feat, you can spend 2 stamina points to gain the benefits and the hindrances of that feat until the end of your turn, instead of until your next turn.
Stunning Fist You can spend 5 stamina points to declare that you are using Stunning Fist after you’ve hit with an unarmed strike.
Vital Strike After rolling the damage of a Vital Strike attack, you can spend 2 stamina points to reroll up to two of the weapon’s damage dice. (For weapons with more than one damage die, count all the weapon’s base damage dice together as one.) You must take the second result, even if it’s lower.
Weapon Finesse You can spend 2 stamina points to negate the penalty on attack rolls from your shield’s armor check penalty until the start of your next turn.
Weapon Focus (Monk)Once per round, you can spend 2 stamina points to gain your Weapon Focus bonus on attack rolls with a weapon with which you don’t have Weapon Focus. This bonus lasts until the start of your next turn.
