Defensive Stratigist You aren't flat-footed during a surprise round that you don't get to act in or before you get to act at the start of a battle. Relentless Dwarves are skilled at pushing their way through a battlefield, tossing aside lesser foes with ease. Dwarves with this racial trait receive a +2 bonus on combat maneuver checks made to bull rush or overrun an opponent. This bonus only applies while both the dwarf and his opponent are standing on the ground. Minesight Dwarves with this racial trait increase the range of their darkvision to 90 feet; however, they are automatically dazzled in bright light and take a -2 penalty on saving throws against effects with the light descriptor. Deep Warrior Grew up facing the abominations that live deep beneath the surface. Receive a +2 dodge bonus to AC against monsters of the aberration type and a +2 racial bonus on combat maneuver checks made to grapple such creatures (or to continue a grapple) Magic Resistant Some of the older dwarven clans are particularly resistant to magic. Dwarves with this racial trait gain spell resistance equal to 5 + their character level. This resistance can be lowered for 1 round as a standard action. Dwarves with this racial trait take a -2 penalty on all concentration checks made in relation to arcane spells Stonecunning Dwarves gain a +2 bonus on Perception checks to notice unusual stonework, such as traps and hidden doors located in stone walls or floors. They receive a check to notice such features whenever they pass within 10 feet of them, whether or not they are actively looking Greed Dwarves gain a +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks made to determine the price of non-magical goods that contain precious metals or gemstones Burn For each point of burn you accept, you take 5 points of nonlethal damage. This damage can be healed only by a full night’s rest, and it can’t be reduced or redirected Flesh of Stone Your skin hardens like stone, dampening the impact of most attacks. You gain DR 2/adamantine. By accepting 1 point of burn, you can increase the DR by 1 until the next time your burn is removed, to a maximum DR equal to your kineticist level. Whenever you accept burn while using an earth wild talent, the energy surging through you causes your damage reduction to change from DR/adamantine to DR/- for 1 round Elemental Overflow When Glorgrim accepts burn, earthen scales form on his arms and legs. He receives a bonus on attack rolls equal to the amount of burn he has accepted (maximum +1). He also receives double that bonus on his earth blast’s damage rolls. Gather Power If he has both hands free, Glorgrim can gather power as a move action. This creates a loud, visible display in a 20-foot radius centered on him, and it allows him to reduce the burn cost of his infusion wild talents by 1 point (as long as he uses the talent in the same round). If he gathers power for a full round, he can reduce the cost by 2 points (minimum 0). If he does this, he can also gather power as a move action during his next turn to reduce the cost by 3. If Glorgrim takes damage during or after gathering power but before he releases his infused earth blasts, he must succeed at a concentration check (1d20+8) or lose the gathered energy. The DC is equal to 12 + the amount of damage he took. If he fails this check, he must accept points of burn equal to the amount he would have reduced Infusion Specialization Whenever Glorgrim uses one or more infusions with his fire blast, he reduces their combined burn cost by 1 Infusions
Kinetic Blast As a ranged attack, Glorgrim can unleash an earth blast at a single target up to a range of 30 feet. He must have one hand free to aim the blast. The blast is considered magical for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. Metakinesis By accepting 1 point of burn, Glorgrim can increase the damage his earth blast deals by half (as per the Empower Spell metamagic feat) Utility
Toughness You gain +3 hit points. For every Hit Die you possess beyond 3, you gain an additional +1 hit point. If you have more than 3 Hit Dice, you gain +1 hit points whenever you gain a Hit Die (such as when you gain a level). Improved Initiative You get a +4 bonus on initiative checks. Weapon Focus (kinetic blast) You gain a +1 bonus on all attack rolls you make using the selected weapon. Stands 4'3" tall, weighs 185lbs. Fair skin from his time in the mines and longish black hair and a beard he keeps well trimmed (for a dwarf, it's still fairly long). Having grown up a miner's son in the sleepy trading town of Davarn, Glorgrim never really expected much from his life. His father was a miner, he'd be a miner, and gods willing - if that cute little barmaid, Falia, over at the taphouse ever came to her senses, or got drunk enough - his children would be miners. Yeah, it was pretty much set in stone from the moment he was born that he'd be living life with a pick in one hand and a nice stout in the other. At least, that's what he always thought until the day the shaft caved in. Trapped, alone, and without any booze. Might as well keep digging he thought, the cart was with him anyway and they'd dig him out sooner or later. That's when it happened, he hit this odd bauble and there was a flash that caused him to close his eyes. The wall had crumbled away before him and he found himself standing before a vast cavern, with a broken pick. Well isn't that just grand, he tossed the useless bit of wood and steel to the side and moved forward to take a look around. Suddenly the wind got knocked out of him and he fell to the ground, instinctively reaching for a weapon. The duergar standing above him, and Glorgrim himself, stared in amazement at the stone sword thrust through its stomach. What in the... As the stone sword crumbled the duergar fell to the earth beside him dead. He took a moment to collect himself, feeling oddly drained, and checked to make sure he didn't have any friends. Turning back to the collapsed tunnel he held out a hand to the wall. Come on, he chuckled
Since the incident, he's toyed with his newfound abilities while on the job, and in fact has become one of the more well known and desired miners in town. No one seems to be able to figure out how he works as quickly as he does, while also creating supports out of rock to keep the tunnel supporting itself. He has learned that there are limits to what he can do, and so far, seems to have kept his secret from the rest of the town. |
