Illiane Vishruvel's page

Illiane grew up in Sharn, but she was not born there. Born in the countryside to wealthy parents, Illiane as a young child had her lot cast into the City of Knives when her parents were killed in a skycar collision. Unscrupulus estate managers listed her as dead alongside her parents despite the lack of body, and quickly called of all attempts to search for her.

Illiane was not dead, barely surviving the fall to the Lower City through fate or luck. Yet the rushing howl of winds in her descent awoke something inside of her. She was meant to fly, and this was a momentary setback. Granted, a momentary setback she would require aid to recover from. She was recovered by a gang of orphans and thieves, lead by one self-titled "Dagger". Dagger was a teen half-elf who, while not perhaps possessed of the best head for names, was possessed of a rob the rich feed the poor mentality, and took care of Illiane.

Illiane joined Dagger's crew for most of her youth, opting for an insanely dangerous method of jumping onto moving skycars, snatching luggage, and leaping off. Whatever blessed luck had graced her earlier in life became routine skill, as it seemed gravity had no claim on Illiane. Illiane at first snatched purses, with time grew strong enough entire cases. It wasn't all natural talent though, as she learned both the worship of Olladra and the handiness of a good stick from Dagger and the other thieves she had fallen in with.

Later in life, once she was fully grown, Illiane pulled off her greatest heist yet. She managed to track down the estate managers from dim childhood memories, and convince them that she had proof of her identity with Dagger's help. She managed to convince them to "settle" for giving her several thousand gp in return for her not pressing her claims to her estate. With this, she decided to invest into equipment for battle. This marked a clear point of separation between her and the thieves she grew up with, as she felt she wanted the strength to protect rather than just the speed to run. And while she wasn't opposed to stealing from necessity, she felt that now that she was grown up, she could search out an honest trade.

Of course, as a daredevil adrenaline addict who made a childhood of jumping around between skyscrapers, Illiane's definition of an honest trade includes such things as adventuring, temple plundering, and battle.

Stats +2 Strength
Focused Study: Gain a Skill Focus feat at levels 1, 8, and 16. Chose Acrobatics for the first one.
Curiosity: +4 bonus on Diplomacy checks to gather information, and Knowledge (history) and Knowledge (local) become class skills for them. If they choose a class that has either of these Knowledge skills as class skills, they gain a +2 racial bonus on those skills instead.

Dragoon:

Jumping does not provoke an AoO unless he jumps adjacent to someone, or moves past a flying person who is not his target, being AoO'd during a jump stops the jump and dumps him to the ground in front of the person making the AoO.
Deadly Lancer (Ex) As a move action or as part of a charge, before a melee attack with a spear, polearm, or lance, the dragoon may make an Acrobatics check to jump with a DC equal to his target’s CMD(+2 per Size category larger target is). If Successful, he gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC for one round, a +1 circumstance bonus on that attack roll, and deals an extra 1d6 points of damage on that attack. For every five the dragoon beats the DC, he gains an additional +1 bonus to his AC and the attack roll, and deals an additional 1d6 damage.

Strengthened Agility (Ex)
A dragoon may treat his Acrobatic skill, using his Strength modifier instead of Dexterity when making Jump checks.

Jump (Ex)
Add Dragoon Level to Jump checks. Always treated as running with Run Feat. As part of a charge action allows him to ignore difficult terrain for the distance he jumps. Maximum jump distance is 2x his base speed, as if charging.

DC Multiplier for high jump is x3, will be x2 at level 11, and x1 at 18th level. Does not provoke an attack of opportunity unless he passes through a square that is threatened by a flying creature that he is not attacking directly or jumping while adjacent to an enemy creature. If a dragoon is hit in this manner, he falls to the ground prone in the square in front of the creature.

Deadly Lancer (Ex)
As a move action or as part of a charge, before a melee attack with a spear, polearm, or lance, the dragoon may make an Acrobatics check to jump with a DC equal to his target’s CMD. The DC increases by +2 for each size category larger than the dragoon. If the dragoon beats the DC, he gains a +1 dodge bonus to AC for one round, a +1 circumstance bonus on that attack roll, and deals an extra 1d6 points of damage on that attack. In addition, for every five the dragoon beats the DC, he gains an additional +1 bonus to his AC and the attack roll, and deals an additional 1d6 damage. This bonus and the number of extra dice cannot exceed the dragoon’s level. This additional damage is not multiplied on a critical hit or any class feature that multiplies damage.

A dragoon treats spears, lances, and polearms as trip weapons.

Cover (Ex)

Pole Fighting (Ex)
As an immediate action, a dragoon can shorten the grip on his spear, lance, or polearm with reach and use it against adjacent targets.

The penalty is reduced by –1 for every four levels beyond 2nd.

The dragoon gains a +1 bonus on Acrobatics checks to avoid attacks of opportunity. This bonus increases by 1 for every four dragoon levels he has beyond 2nd.

Whenever he is wearing armor, he reduces the armor check penalty by 1 (to a minimum of 0) and increases the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed by his armor by 1. Every four levels thereafter (7th, 11th, 15th, and 19th), these bonuses increase by +1 each time, to a maximum –5 reduction of the armor check penalty and a +5 increase of the maximum Dexterity bonus allowed.

In addition, a dragoon can also move at his normal speed while wearing medium armor. At 7th level, a dragoon can move at his normal speed while wearing heavy armor.
