Delweir's page

Delweir is a young, thin Taldane man with fair skin and dark brown eyes. A traveling wizard of the Egorian Academy recruited him from his merchant family in Taldor and trained him for many years in the art of conjuration as a prospective apprentice. Unknown to Delweir, the wizard was a member of the Pathfinders who sought out gifted youngsters to groom for their ranks. While Delweir was an apt pupil of the arcane arts, his patron decided that he was not ideologically suitable, being indifferent to the aims of the Pathfinder organization. As a result, Delweir was dismissed from his apprenticeship and left without a means of making a living. Because Delweir left the family to become a wizard, his share of the family business was inherited by his younger brother. Now the young magic-user is seeking his fortune in adventure.

Delweir knows that Baba Yaga will come to Irrisen soon to replace the the current witch-queen. The thought of witnessing this event is overpowering to him. Even though he knows there is little chance that he could come near to such a happening he is willing to face great danger to do so. He would consider the risk well worth if it he could glean any small bit of knowledge from such an undertaking. To this end Delweir set off to the North and has stopped at the village of Heldren.

Despite having graduated the Egorian Academy Delweir is somewhat insecure and seeks out the approval of powerful individuals and the admiration of those in positions inferior to his own. Part of this insecurity stems from an unfortunate incident at the Academy in which he was humiliated by a witch who instructed at the school.
Delweir believes that his intellect places him above anyone who he perceives as less intelligent. The young wizard is proud of the fact that he graduated from the Egorian Academy and feels that this inevitably entitles him to respect from other magicians.

Conjuration fascinates Delweir more than any other aspect of magic because it reaches into other worlds and gives him control over the beings it brings forth. The more that he learned of other dimensions the more he desires to walk in these other worlds. Part of this interest is academic; Delweir would love to be considered one of the great scholars of planar lore one day. Another part of his desire to master conjuration magic and planar knowledge is that it will make him more powerful in this reality. The end result of his desire for power is vague to him but it is no less compelling for it.

Forbidden Schools: Illusion, Necromancy

Planar Knowledge: As an infernal binder, you gain a +3 bonus on Knowledge (planes) checks.

Summoner's Charm: Whenever you cast a conjuration (summoning) spell, increase the duration by a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your wizard level (minimum 1). This increase is not doubled by Extend Spell. At 20th level, you can change the duration of all summon monster spells to permanent. You can have no more than one summon monster spell made permanent in this way at one time. If you designate another summon monster spell as permanent, the previous spell immediately ends.

Assume Control: At 1st level, you can attempt to gain control over a summoned creature by disrupting the bond between it and the caster who summoned it. You must make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level) equal to 10 + the summoning caster’s level. If you know the summoned creature’s name, you receive a +2 circumstance bonus on the check. If the check is successful, you can control the summoned creature as if you had summoned it for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your wizard level (minimum 1 round). This does not increase the duration of the original summoning. The original summoning caster can attempt to regain control of the summoned creature as a standard action by making a caster level check against your caster level + 10. When your control ends, the creature reverts to the control of its summoner. At 9th level, you can use this ability to bargain with called creatures as if you were the caster who conjured them. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.

Warded against Witchery: You gain a +1 trait bonus on
saving throws against the spells, spell-like abilities, and
supernatural abilities of evil arcane spellcasters, and a +1
trait bonus on Spellcraft checks to identify spells cast by evil arcane spellcasters.
