About HildeborgStanding every bit of 6'4", the rectangular wall of muscle with nearly white, close-cropped hair, piercing ice-blue eyes, and a solid, square jaw oozes a lack of concern for your well-being. Until she smiles and laughs. Simple Background:
Kjolvor was just old enough for the young men to court her when she turned up pregnant. Only two people know for sure who the father might have been, but she claimed it was Sporr, one of the young men who had recently died in a raid against a Prunish settlement. She named her daughter Petronilla, and the stigma of a fatherless girl being named "rock" was every bit as bad as you might imagine. Petronilla grew up on the bottom rung of the Juln social ladder, but she learned to throw her weight around. She was an agressive, large, loud tomboy.
Around the age of 10, she and the boys near her age snuck along with a hunting party. The kids stumbed on a feeding polar bear the adults had missed, and they paid for it. Petronee watched the bear shred three of the young men before the adults came to their rescue. Instead of chasing her back to more womanly pursuits, she took those deaths as a sign that she had to learn and focus on keeping other people alive. She learned what the tribe could teach her of martial combat, earning her name as she displayed competence beyond any of the normal tribal warriors, while somehow failing to deliver the killing blow far more often than anyone predicted. She learned that like most Juln tribes, her tribe prefers those who kill quickly to those who reduce the risk to their peers. And so Hildeborg went out into the world, seeking work where her skill at reducing the risk for others would be beneficial. With surprising speed, the walking Juln wall found herself on the Southern Continent.

Bonus Feats: At 1st level, and at every even level thereafter, a fighter gains a bonus feat in addition to those gained from normal advancement (meaning that the fighter gains a feat at every level). These bonus feats must be selected from those listed as combat feats, sometimes also called “fighter bonus feats.” Upon reaching 4th level, and every four levels thereafter (8th, 12th, and so on), a fighter can choose to learn a new bonus feat in place of a bonus feat he has already learned. In effect, the fighter loses the bonus feat in exchange for the new one. The old feat cannot be one that was used as a prerequisite for another feat, prestige class, or other ability. A fighter can only change one feat at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the feat at the time he gains a new bonus feat for the level. Pole Fighting (Ex): At 2nd level, as an immediate action, a polearm master can shorten the grip on his spear or polearm with reach and use it against adjacent targets. This action results in a –4 penalty on attack rolls with that weapon until he spends another immediate action to return to the normal grip. The penalty is reduced by –1 for every four levels beyond 2nd. This ability replaces bravery. Steadfast Pike (Ex): At 3rd level, a polearm master gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls with readied attacks and attacks of opportunity made with a spear or polearm. The bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 3rd. This ability replaces armor training 1, 2, 3, and 4. Polearm Training (Ex): At 5th level, a polearm master gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with spears and polearms. The bonus increases by +1 for every four levels beyond 5th. This ability replaces weapon training 1. Polearms: bardiche, bec de corbin, bill, boarding gaff, crook, fauchard, giant-sticker, dwarven, glaive, glaive-guisarme, gnome ripsaw glaive, guisarme, halberd, hooked lance, horsechopper, lucerne hammer, mancatcher, monk's spade, naginata, nodachi, ogre hook, ranseur, tiger fork Spears: amentum, boar spear, chain spear, double spear, elven branched spear, harpoon, javelin, lance, longspear, orc skull ram, pilum, planson, shortspear, sibat, spear, stormshaft javelin, tiger fork, trident, weighted spear Flexible Flanker (Ex): At 9th level, a polearm master may choose any square adjacent to him and treat that square as his location for determining who he is flanking, even if that square is occupied by a creature, object, or solid barrier. This ability replaces weapon training 2. Sweeping Fend (Ex): At 13th level, a polearm master can use any spear or pole arm to make a bull rush or trip maneuver, though he takes a –4 penalty to his CMB when making such attempts. Weapons with the trip property do not incur this penalty on trip maneuvers. This ability replaces weapon training 3. Step Aside (Ex): At 17th level, when a creature threatened by a polearm master takes a 5-foot step into a square adjacent to him, he can take a 5-foot step as an immediate action. This 5-foot step must be subtracted from his movement on the next turn. He also gains a +2 dodge bonus to his AC against that opponent until the end of his next turn. This ability replaces weapon training 4. Polearm Parry (Ex): At 19th level, when an opponent threatened by a polearm master makes a melee attack against an ally, he may take an immediate action to grant his ally a +2 shield bonus to AC and DR 5/— against that attack. He may use this ability to protect himself, but only if the attacking creature is not adjacent to him. This ability replaces armor mastery. Weapon Mastery (Ex): At 20th level, a polearm master chooses one type of spear or polearm. Any attacks made with that weapon automatically confirm all critical threats and have their damage multiplier increased by 1 (×2 becomes ×3, for example). In addition, he cannot be disarmed while wielding a weapon of this type. Human:
+2 to One Ability Score: Human characters get a +2 bonus to one ability score of their choice (Dexterity) at creation to represent their varied nature. Medium: Humans are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size. Normal Speed: Humans have a base speed of 30 feet. Bonus Feat: Humans select one extra feat at 1st level. Skilled: Humans gain 1 additional skill rank at 1st level and 1 additional rank whenever they gain a level. Languages: Humans begin play speaking Common and their ethnic language. Humans whose ethnic language is Common (or Taldane, in the case of Chelaxians or Taldans) do not receive an additional ethnic language. Humans with high Intelligence scores can choose any languages they want (except secret languages, such as Druidic). Attributes:
