These blessings are Healing and Knowledge. Healing Blessing (Su) Powerful Healer (minor): As a swift action, Odd can treat any cure spell as if it were Empowered (as feat). Knowledge Blessing (Su) Lore Keeper (minor): With a successful touch attack, Odd can learn about a creature's strengths and weaknesses as though she had made an appropriate Knowledge check of 24 (15 + warpriest level + Wisdom modifier). Sacred Weapon (Su) Odd's daggers deal 1d8 base damage rather than the typical 1d4. Spontaneous Casting Odd can spontaneously exchange any prepared spell for a cure spell of equal level or lower. Fervor 7/day Odd can touch a creature as a standard action and heal it for 2d6 points of damage, or alternatively inflict 2d6 points of damage to an undead creature. Undead do not get a saving throw to halve this damage. Alternatively, as a swift action, Odd can expend one use of this ability to cast any one warpriest spell prepared. The spell can only target the warpriest, even if it would ordinarily affect other targets. Spells cast his way ignore somatic components and do not provoke attacks of opportunity. Odd does not have to have a free hand to cast spells this way. Weapon Focus (Dagger) Odd gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls with daggers. Two Weapon Fighting The penalties to attacking with weapons in both hands are greatly reduced for Odd. Combat Reflexes Odd can make up to three attacks of opportunity per round and can make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed. Step Up When an adjacent enemy takes a 5-foot step away from Odd, she may take an immediate action to take a 5-foot step towards the same enemy. This counts as a 5-foot step for her next turn, or, alternatively, as the first 5 feet of movement on a move action in her next turn. Deific Obedience After performing her obedience to Pharasma each day, Odd gains a +2 sacred bonus on attacks with daggers. Weapon Specialization (dagger) Odd gains a +2 bonus on damage rolls with daggers. For most of her life, Idgethun was known only as the quiet woman in town with brilliant golden hair that didn’t seem to age the right way. Appearing rather youthful, even child-like, well into the typical adult years, the townsfolk of the small Nirmathi village (and even her parents Phomos and Kyrinae) in which she was born quickly took to bastardizing her name as simply “Odd,” a nickname by which she would go for the rest of her life. Some decades after her parents' deaths, a trio of necromancer-mages of the Whispering Way left their secret headquarters in Gallowspire, traveled through the Hold of Belkzen, and set up a camp in the woods just outside of Odd’s village. Stealing into the town of the dead of night, they slew one villager and dug up from the local graveyard two others recently deceased, returning to their camp and raising them in the supposed “glory” of undeath. The next day, the raised undead attacked the village but were cut down by the village headman, Eridd, and several other huntsmen. Unwilling (and perhaps unable) to contact official military forces of the notoriously decentralized Nirmathas, Eridd decided to gather a band of local warriors to track down the undead’s source—the Whispering Way mages. Odd, who counted herself among Pharasma’s faithful (having formerly apprenticed with the village’s healers and currently serving as a midwife), grabbed both of her parents’ daggers from an old box and volunteered to accompany Eridd’s party. The mages had successfully snuck themselves all the way through the orc-infested Hold of Belkzen, and proved difficult to track. As Eridd spread out his party to scout, the necromancer-sorcerers picked off the ill-prepared hunters one by one. For days, the main party came upon the remains of friend after friend, sometimes accompanied by scorch marks on a tree or a pool of blood, but most often in the form of walking, mindless husk that attacked on sight. Eventually, though, the mages grew over-confident. Just Eridd, Odd, and two huntsmen remained alive, and the mages decided to make a stand rather than continue to hunt their pursuers. The two parties met. Eridd and his hunters let their arrows fly, but in reply the mages let loose blasts of flame and all three caught fire. In that moment, Odd felt a blessedness she had not known before. Armored with her Pharasman faith and armed with her daggers, she moved forward into the caster’s midst. From there she followed each one step by step as they fumbled through incantations, lashing out with her daggers and healing her own wounds with incredible speed, while Eridd—still alight and nearly dead—rained arrows on the mages from the rear. Once every Whisperer had fallen, Odd rushed to Eridd’s side. Heavy burns marred much of his body and, unknown to her, knocked out his hearing. He never heard her desperate shouts. Odd quickly quit her village, but not before they conferred upon her the name "Magesbane." Eventually arriving in the City at the Center of the World, she sought out the Pathfinder Society as a way to better understand her divine potential and better hone her martial prowess. Nowadays, she travels Golarion as a keeper of life and a bringer of death on behalf of Pharasma. She urges all creatures to embrace goodness, for Pharasma is a very unforgiving judge. When such urging fails, however, her twin daggers Phomos and Kyrinae stand ready.
