About AzarauntBackground:
Born into a minor noble's family of the Thrice Damned House of Thrune, Azaraunt had few options growing up. Of course he would serve at court. Of course he would train with sword and bow. And of course, when of age, he would enter the Scarlet Tower and study the arcane. Rejecting Necromancy made some wonder about the elf's future, for many Chelaxian wizards embraced those dark arts. But Azaraunt had a flare for conjuration and a passion for the spacial study of teleportation. His gift was so strong that his masters condoned his focus and allowed him to neglect the necromantic arts. Service was a way of life. Honor bound to many masters, he did his duty, seldom having time for personal interests and never an actual hobby. Life at court was intrigue and he honed his tongue speaking with nobles and ambassadors and devils. While much of the nation seemed to bow down to these diabolic outsiders, Asaraunt considered them tools; both powerful and dangerous. He tackled the study of religion as zealously as all his other subjects but for his it was purely an academic field. Sure the gods had powers to grant, but they were fickle and seemed to dole it out in thimbles. Better to trust in your own powers and so never be disappointed. A summer fling with an older human woman lead him to higher station when that woman's house rose and she became one of a handful of powerful Paracountesses. By strange luck she was given responsibility for the Chelaxian arm of some upstart band of adventurers known as Pathfinders. And when the Paracountess asked him to join up to "keep an eye on them" for her it became just one more of those duties he could never say no to. But it was good for Azaraunt as it showed him life away from court and the Scarlet tower; away from Chelaix itself. This was education of a different sort, and had him questioning some very deep tenants. He still sees Cheliax as the best nation of the world and enforced lawfulness as a superior way to live, but he is seeing other ways for the first time in his role as a pathfinder. His education continues.
Description:
Azaraunt is a typical elven wizard in appearance by most accounts. His eyes are lavender. His skin is fair. His blond hair is long. He is of average height for an elf but is slightly more comely, considerably more agile, and significantly more intelligent. He prefers to dress in Chelaxain house colors with robes of deep red tripped in black. The heraldry of his garments mark him of the Thrice Damned House of Thrune and a minor signifier of the Hellknights. He wears a finely crafted long sword of elven make on his belt, a Pathfinder Wayfinder on his chest, and a masterwork elven long bow over one shoulder. He is often seen with a Raven on his right shoulder. Party Role:
Azaraunt is a 7th level Arcane caster. His one level of Diabolist complements his Chelaxian background and grants him an Imp animal companion (see below) while not detracting from his spell progression. He is equipped to deal with evil outsiders, with elven Spell Penetration and both his Diabolist and trait bonuses to to Bluff (+11), Diplomacy (+9), Intimidate (+9), and Sense Motive(+10) checks. Keep in mind that these are dump skill for many wizards. His spells are geared towards buffing the party, controlling the battlefield, and personal survival. His Bonded Item (a ring, which is hard to loose) increases his versatility by allowing him to cast any spell from his considerable spellbook once a day. With a speed of 30 and ten 15' shifts a day as swift actions he is very mobile. He even has a stealth skill of +12. His initiative is +11 so he will often be able to act before the enemy. His perception is good at +11. Combine that with Darkvision and he will be surprised less than most arcane casters. He has superior knowledge skills (Arcana +16, Dungeoneering +13, Engineering +13, History +13, Local +13, Nature +13, Nobility +13, Planes +17, Religion +15, and Spellcraft +16/18) ) which will help the party know the information they need and understand what they are fighting. When he does need to fight he is an accomplished summoner with Augmented Summoning and the Conjuration ability of making his school spells last considerably longer. Due to his high Int his DCs for his spells equal spell level +7, and Spell level +8 for Conjurations (examples are Glitterdust is DC20, Acid Pit is DC22). A 20 dexterity means his touch AC is 15, and his buffed AC is 23 (Shield and Mage Armor). It also means he can hit with ranged attacks include both his ray spells and his masterwork longbow. And finally, with Craft Wondrous Item and Scribe Scroll he can help craft and upgrade items for the party in any downtime, increasing the readiness of the group. His Imp companion can cast invisibility on himself at will, fly, and assume the form of other creatures (Spider, rat, boar, or raven) at will. Combine that with its high AC (26 with Mage Armor), DR, resistances, and good hit points and it becomes an excellent scout. It possesses Darkvision 60 ft., detect good, detect magic, see in darkness, and perception +10. With Deathwatch, telepathy, and the ability to use healing wands its excellent at battlefield triage and minor buffing. Its telepathy (50 feet) (Su) communicate telepathically if the target has a language, helps keep the party linked and communicating silently when needed.

DESCRIPTION An invisible but tangible field of force surrounds the subject and anything around it, in most ways, like a mage armor spell. However, unlike the other spell, this does not provide added armor protection. Because it is a force effect, the spell is designed to keep out elemental effects of a supernatural nature. For example, the spell keeps out the excessive heat of the Elemental Plane of Fire from those who are not native to the plane. The spell adjusts to the individual so that any weather or elemental effect that it is outside the person's 'comfort zone' is negated. It does not, however, protect from damage actually incurred by elemental effects (i.e. it will not protect you from any effects of a fireball in any additional way; you will still take damage from the blast). This spell differs from endure elements in that enforced environment goes beyond the other spell by allowing the target(s) to be protected from environmental hazards (i.e. smoke, incorporeal winds, etc.) and includes an air pocket that is brought up whenever the target encounters such a hazard. The ranger version of this spell is slightly modified form, designed by a high-level ranger who used it during a forest fire to protect many of the animals in his jurisdiction. This form constantly renews the air pocket within the radius, but has no additional function beyond what has previously been mentioned.
