—---------------------------------------------------- Traits: 1 + 1 (Campaign) Audrahni’s Ally:
(Campaign): While every PC should be at least passingly familiar with the elven gravedigger Audrahni, you are one of the few in town she counts as a true friend. Audrahni trusts you, and she’s shared one element of her past with you since befriending you. The fact that you’ve met someone else who had a similar event in their past has bolstered your own resolve, and has granted you a +1 trait bonus to the saving throw determined by the question you select:
“What historical figure inspired you the most?” Grants a +1 trait bonus to Will saving throws. Once per adventure as a standard action, you may concentrate on the bond you and Audrahni share. The strong emotions brought on by these memories bolster your desire to forge ahead and remain alive, granting you the effects of one of the following spells at a caster level equal to your character level: calm emotions, cure moderate wounds, or lesser restoration. Magical Knack (magic): +2 caster level to one spellcasting class (Bard) up to your HD. —--------------------------------------------------- Feats:

Deeds & Grit Have Gun:
Amateur Gunslinger:
Deed: Deadeye (Ex): At 1st level, the gunslinger can resolve an attack against touch AC instead of normal AC when firing beyond her firearm’s first range increment. Performing this deed costs 1 grit point per range increment beyond the first. The gunslinger still takes the –2 penalty on attack rolls for each range increment beyond the first when she performs this deed. Order: (Order of the Land): “The Silver Stars”
Far Challenge (Traded from Luring Cavalier archetype)
Challenging a foe requires subtle deceits and strategies. The cavalier must make it look like he is a soft target. The subject of the far challenge gains a +4 bonus on attack rolls made against him. This challenge remains in effect until the target is dead or unconscious, until the target hits the cavalier with a melee attack, or until the combat ends. If this challenge ends because the target hits the cavalier with a melee attack, this challenge changes to the effects of the normal cavalier challenge and gains any order benefit the luring cavalier has.
Skills: An order of the land cavalier adds Knowledge (local) (Int) and Survival (Wis) to his list of class skills. In addition, whenever an order of the land cavalier makes a survival check to avoid getting lost, he receives a bonus on the check equal to 1/2 his cavalier level (minimum +1). Order Ability
Mount - “Jagger” (Paint Horse, White with Brown Patches)

*Bonus known spell due to Favored Class bonus ------------------------------------------------------- Character Background: Jensen had been born the accidental son of a hard-nosed, traveling Priest of Abadar and a well-endowed tavern-wench…a development that had not pleased the man of the church at all. He had instructed the barmaid to keep his identity a secret, and in turn, offered to make sure that mother and son were taken care of, quietly. Thus, Jensen had grown up happy and somewhat carefree, living as they did in an upper room of a saloon owned by his uncle. Being raised in such an establishment, while not the most proper of childhoods, was not without its merits. The young man learned to play cards, sing bar-songs, stable horses, and most importantly, wash dishes with the best of them. Along the way, he picked up numerous skills of a far more questionable nature, often from drunken gamblers, bards, cow-pokes, and thieves that found the boy to be an apt student to their craft. Eventually Jensen grew into quite the card player, knowledgable, though if he were to be honest, he’d admit his luck just wasn’t good enough for him to make a living gambling. Like most young men of the day, Jensen learned to shoot and hunt, skills that brought him to the attention of a group of three men from the Order of the Land. These so-called “Silver Stars” were raising a posse to run down a group of bandits that had been harassing travelers for weeks, and needed to add armed men to their number to even the odds. Jensen was reluctant to volunteer, but eventually agreed when pretty much all the other able-bodied men in the saloon agreed to the endeavor. Eight men rode out after the bandits, but when the group was ambushed in a ravine a few miles from town, only Jensen and one other man from the posse had survived, one of the Silver Stars named Burke.. Though shot in the throat (a grazing hit, fortunately), Jensen had been knocked unconscious and into the brush near the ravine wall, and lying there, had gone unnoticed by the three escaping and wounded bandits. Wounded, but not fatally, Jensen was awakened by the slightly-less-than-gentle nudging of one of the now riderless horses. A brown and white “paint horse” that would eventually come to be one of Jensen’s favorite companions.. Scouring the bodies, looking for survivors, Jensen found Burke and with some effort, hoisted him onto the horse (who he would later name Jagger), and then slowly, painfully, they made their way back to town. In all, thirteen men died in the shoot-out, seven of them robbers, and within a day or so, a group was sent back with a wagon to collect the bodies for burial. Among them was the town undertaker, a slim, elven woman named Audrahni, with whom Jensen began a friendship that has lasted for quite some time. So much so that while he now acts as a part-time deputy, aiding the town sheriff and the Silver Stars when needed, he will often work for the elven woman as a grave-digger and pallbearer when the occasion arises. |
