About Haltak

Family members:
Haltak is a proud father of two, who he has left with his wife in Highhelm.
Day-to-Day Activities:
The forge is Torag's alter, the metal and toil his sacrifice, and the workshop his temple.
Haltak spent most of his time there working, or participating in the guild at Highhelm. While a religious leader, his services were mostly as a master craftsman, and he had many apprentices who brought devotion to the hammering of the iron.
Haltak's best friend in highhelm was study in contrasts, somewhat of a drunkard and hardly industrious, he was good for a boisterous time. When Haltak's duties became more martial - on rare occasion against the restless dead or part of every dwarf's duties, his friend was always willing to lend a hand. By the name of Ingvar Slagson, he earned his keep and was tolerated through odd jobs and his willingness to be first into battle against all manner of vermin, even the hated drow deep and far from the Sky Citadels. In fact, this wide ranging habit led to some mutterings about bringing back bad luck or curses, and he was the first to die.
Ingvar was the first to delve the dark, and he paid for it. If'n we're all to end in this age, I'll not be waitin' around fer it. If I can do somethin' to help me family - I will - if not, I'd rather die like a dwarf. Ingvar deserved better.

Class Features:
Divine Smith (Su)
Whenever a forgemaster casts a spell that targets a weapon, shield, or armor, the spell takes effect at +1 caster level. If the spell has one or more metamagic feats applied, she reduces the total level adjustment to the spell by 1 (minimum 0).
Runeforger (Su)
A forgemaster may inscribe mystical runes upon a suit of armor, shield, or weapon as full-round action, using this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Intelligence modifier. These runes last 1 round per cleric level, but inscribing the same rune twice on an item increases this duration to 1 minute per level, three times to 10 minutes per level, and four times to 1 hour per level. Erase affects runes as magical writing. A forgemaster learns forgemaster’s blessing at 1st level and may learn one additional rune at 2nd level and every 2 levels thereafter. Only one type of rune marked with an asterisk () may be placed on an item at any given time.
Known Runes:
Ancient Splendor: The inscribed weapon, armor, or shield grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy and Intimidate checks (+4 when interacting with dwarves).
Featherlight: The inscribed item’s weight is halved; a metal item’s weight is reduced to 1/4 normal. If inscribed on a suit of armor, its armor check penalty for Acrobatics and Climb checks is halved.
