Description:
The lithe figure of Kaelleadd is not so much an imposing sight as an experience. Moving with cat-like grace, his platinum hair and steel grey eyes see everything, like a hawk...His cold gaze like that of a predator noting every weakness. The mithril of his chain shirt glitters with the same coldness as his eyes, his sharp stare distracting enough to not notice the spiked chain, the numerous daggers and the short short strapped to him. A short black crushed velvet cloak conceals his arms and weapons the majority of the time. A brillaint blue and black dragon mark, the Mark of Shadow covers the back of his right hand.
Background:
Kaellead grew up as an orphan on the streets of Sharn, his parents killed in a skycab accident when he was only 34...merely a boy in elven terms. His mark did not appear for another 30 years, during that time he learned to fend for himself, he spent his time in many different districts in Lower Sharn...even time in the goblin districts, this is where he made his first kill...a goblin tried to muscle the youth out of some food, but it was hungry as well and not very strong..."poor thing, it wanted my food", so as a lesson to the other goblins he killed it slowly...after that he was respected by them...When the mark appeared, he knew what to do, he knew he had his way out of the slums, he presented himself to his house, showing the scions of the house his mark...a transient Dragon Prophet linked his mark with more power, House Phiarlan sent him to one of the Shadowhand monasteries......the rest is history(that should be a decent open-ended background..and I worked all my traits into it.)

Prerequisite: None
Summary: You get enraged easily, going berserk whenever you suffer damage.
Effect: Whenever a character suffers damage, they must make a Will Save (DC of 15+1 per two character levels) in order to avoid becoming enraged.
If the character fails the will save, they take a -2 penalty to Armor Class. The character will not use any skills that require patience or the like, the only thing they want to do is hurt the thing that hurt them. They will stay in their enraged state for 1d4+(Constitution Modifier) rounds or until the thing that caused them damage is dead. Additionally, if the character has the rage class ability and has a daily use left they must go into a rage as an immediate action.
Benefit: Bonus Feat or one additional daily use of rage ability if a character already has it as a class feature.
