Low-Light Vision A vanara can see twice as far as a human in dim light. Prehensile Tail A vanara has a long, flexible tail that he can use to carry objects. He cannot wield weapons with her tail, but the tail allows him to retrieve a small, stowed object carried on his person as a swift action. Grit As a gunslinger, Hank can recover Grit by reducing a foe to below 0 hp, or confirming a critical hit with a firearm. Quick Clear Hank can remove the broken condition from a firearm as a standard action if he has 1 grit. By spending a grit point, he may remove it as a move action. Gunslinger's Dodge When a ranged attack is made against Hank, he can spend 1 grit point to move 5 feet as an immediate action and gains a +2 bonus to AC against the triggering attack. Alternatively, he may drop prone for +4. Up Close and Deadly When Hank hits a target with a one-handed firearm that is not making a scatter shot, he can spend 1 grit point to deal 1d6 points of extra damage on a hit. If he misses with the attack, she grazes the target, dealing half the extra damage anyway. Maneuvers Hank knows a number of maneuvers. The disciplines available to him are Broken Blade, Solar Wind, Steel Serpent, Thrashing Dragon, and Veiled Moon. Once he knows a maneuver, he must ready it before he can use it (see Maneuvers Readied, below). A maneuver is considered an extraordinary ability unless otherwise noted in its description. His maneuvers are not affected by spell resistance, and he does not provoke attacks of opportunity when he initiates one. He learns additional maneuvers at higher levels. Hank's Initiator Ability is Wisdom. Maneuvers Readied Hank can ready 5 of his maneuvers by meditating and focusing his ki for 10 minutes. The maneuvers he chooses remain readied until he decides to repeat this again and change them. Hank dowa not need to sleep or be well rested to ready his maneuvers; any time he spends 10 minutes in meditation, he can change his readied maneuvers. He may not ready any individual maneuver more than once. He begins an encounter with all readied maneuvers unexpended, regardless of how many times he may have already used them since he chose them. When Hank initiates a maneuver, he expends it for the current encounter, making them unusable until they are recovered, see below. Recovering Maneuvers Hank may recover his maneuvers in one of two ways. He may center his awareness of the combat momentarily as a standard action and recover a single expended maneuver of his choice. Alternativeely, he may recover his Wisdom modifier in expended maneuvers as a full round action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. When recovering his maneuvers as a full round action, he may move up to his base speed and adds a +4 insight bonus to his Armor Class. The next attack he attempts after recovering his maneuvers adds his deadly strike's damage to the attack if successful. Stances Known Hank knows a number of stances, increasing as he levels. Unlike maneuvers, he does not need to ready them, but can enter any stance he knows as a swift action. They function untill left as swift action, or when Hank enters another stance. Stances provide long-lasting benefits, and are extraordinary abilities unless otherwise noted. Ki pool Hank has a number of Ki points equal to half his stalker lvl plus his wisdom modifier (4=1+3). At 1st level, he may spend 1 point of ki to grant himself a +4 insight bonus to a single Perception or Sense Motive check as an immediate action. Deadly Strike (2 dice) The stalker is capable of maximizing his deadliness whenever he lands a critical blow upon his opponent, opening his target up for future punishment as the stalker becomes attuned to his prey. The stalker's deadly strike activates whenever the stalker scores a successful critical hit against a target, and is active against that target for a number of rounds equal to his Wisdom modifier. Deadly strike inflicts extra damage, to only this target creature, on all of the stalker's attacks. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 for every four stalker levels thereafter. When the stalker scores a critical hit, this extra damage is not multiplied, it is simply added to the damage. If the stalker scores a successful critical hit during the time his deadly strike is active, the duration of this ability is extended by one round (no more than one extension can be made per round). Ranged attacks can count as deadly strikes only if the target is within 30-ft.. Deadly strike is more effective with weapons with higher critical multipliers, such as scythes and battle axes. Weapons with a x3 critical multiplier inflict damage with deadly strikes using a d8 instead of a d6, and weapons with a critical multiplier of x4 use d10's. Damage multipliers higher than x4 use d10's for deadly strikes damage. Deadly strike may not be used with weapons that inflict non-lethal damage. The stalker must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Creatures immune to critical hits or precision damage cannot be targeted by a deadly strike. A stalker cannot deadly strike while attacking a creature who has concealment.

Backstory:
Hiranyagarbha was born in a treetop village, deep in the Bandarom Jungle. When he was four, his parents gave him to a temple; it was the traditional thing to do with your third child. And so young Hiranyagarbha spent his childhood, from he was four untill he was eleven, living with the monks. He didn't really mind, but found it somewhat boring. In a rebellious phase, he ran off, to see the world. But it's a big place, and people don't always have the best intentions out there, a fact the young Vanara hadn't been prepared for. He lived on the streets of the port city of Jalapur for three years, untill he got shanghaied onto a pirate ship. The Shackled Maiden was half a world away from home, a fact that suited its captain, Meg, or "the Red Lady", as she went by, perfectly.
For years, they plied the Obari ocean, doing what pirates do best. The crew taught Hiranyagarbhaa thing or two about life, and gave hima new name. "Hiranyagarbha Narayanan" was a tad too many vowels for them to be comfortable with, and so they called him "Hank" instead. As a pirate, Hank has done a lot of things he isn't proud of, but the life was one of incredible excitement, and it brought him his pistol, which he hasn't been seperated from since then. Two years ago, circumstances forced the Shackled Maiden to head north into the Inner Sea. Hank jumped ship in Almas, Andoran, and hasn't looked back since. Life on land suits him well, better than the sea ever did. He's found he enjoys the quiet, and has even started contemplating what he remembers of the teachings of his monestery, harnessing his Ki, and adapting some of the secret techniques to use with his flintlock pistol. Now that he has some life experience under his belt, he's starting to appreciate the path in ways he never could in his youth. Once he has learned enough, he thinks to create a monestary himself, dedicated to the mystical Way of the gun, he is developing. To pay the bills, he's taken on work as a caravan guard out of Almas, bound for Senara of Cheliax. A dispute about taxation has ground the caravan to a halt in the midst of Isger however, and Hank is starting to doubt he'll ever see the rest of his payment.
In particular, he's heard rumors of goblin tribes in Chitterwood, and since Goblinoid was the 'lingua franca' of the Shackled Maiden, he's hoping he might be able to leverage that into an advantage if someone needs something done in the forest. He has also 'acquired' some silver along the road, which he has smelted down to forge bullets. He's heard what they say about Cheliax, and some digging around brought up information on the materials neccesary to shoot devils. Description:
Image.
He usually wears a long coat over his leather armor.His hair, fur and gear is kept in meticulous order, as he's learned that 'civilized people' react much better to him being a vanara if he looks like he's taking care of himself. He has black fur and hair, and deep, brown eyes, often sporting a mischevious glint. Personality:
Hank is a bit of a contradiction. So long as there's coin in it, he'll take all but the most morally repulsive jobs. Still, he is likely to help people out for free if they can't pay.
He's deeply contemplative, but likes to play tricks on people. He is a bit of a coward in combat, but will stand up for what he thinks is right. To strangers, he's friendly enough. There's a bit of a rogueish charm to him, although he sometimes likes to keep his distance. Traits:
Larger than Life Hank is treated as large for the purpose of intimidate checks while holding a firearm. There's a sense of confidence you get while wielding a gun - there's nothing quite like it. You can face down anything then.
Criminal Hank has +1 to intimidate, and it's a class skill for him. He's spent a good deal of time as a pirate of the high seas, and it taught him a thing or two. |
