Class Skills:
Student of Darkness (Ex): A gloomblade gains Acrobatics, Knowledge (planes), Perception, and Stealth as class skills, but does not gain Climb, Handle Animal, Ride, or Swim as class skills. This alters the fighter’s class skills. 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. Shadow Weapon (Su): A gloomblade can create a shadowy weapon in a free hand as a move action. This can take the form of any melee weapon with which he is proficient. A gloomblade can have only one shadow weapon in existence at a time; creating a new shadow weapon causes an existing shadow weapon to vanish. At 3rd level, the shadow weapon acts as a magic weapon with a +1 enhancement bonus; this bonus increases by 1 for every 4 levels a gloomblade has beyond 2nd, to a maximum enhancement bonus of +5 at 18th level. At 7th level, a gloomblade can create (and maintain) two shadow weapons at a time as a move action; if he does, each weapon has an enhancement bonus 1 lower than normal. If a gloomblade creates only one weapon, it gains a weapon special ability of his choice (chosen upon creation); the ability must be valid for the shadow weapon’s weapon type and must be chosen from defending, flaming, frost, keen, ghost touch, merciful, shock, thundering, or vicious. (Additional special abilities might qualify, at the GM’s discretion.) At 11th level, a gloomblade’s shadow weapons each gain their full enhancement bonus if he creates two weapons. If a gloomblade creates only one shadow weapon, it gains additional weapon special abilities; the total effective bonus of these abilities cannot exceed +3. The gloomblade can now choose from the of anarchic, axiomatic, flaming burst, icy burst, holy, shocking burst, unholy, and wounding weapon special abilities as well as those from the list above. At 15th level, a gloomblade’s shadow weapons each gain magic weapon special abilities with a total effective bonus of +2 per weapon. If a gloomblade creates only one shadow weapon, its magic weapon special abilities cannot exceed a total effective bonus of +5. The gloomblade adds brilliant energy, dancing, and speed to the options he can choose as weapon special abilities for his shadow weapon. This replaces the fighter’s armor training and proficiency with heavy armor and shields (he retains proficiency in light and medium armor). Random Crunch:

0 PP 8 GP 0 SP 0 CP Backstory:
Malarra was not originally from Golarian, but rather from Faerûn. Born into a family of drow exiled to the surface, she was trained from a young age to be part of an experimental attack force designed to use the shadow plane to cross the between the surface and the Underdark in order to assassinate key drow leaders of rising houses. Things did not, however, go according to plan. On her team's first assignment something happened to destabilize the shadow realm. During that instability, she was eventually forced out of the realm and onto the surface of an entirely new plane: Golarian. If the concept of "good" surface-dwelling drow was uncommon knowledge at best on Faerûn, it was practically a novel idea to the residents of her new plane of existence. Separated from the members of her team that actually could open the ways into the plane of shadow, Malarra has found herself stuck alone on a hostile world with no way of return. Personality:
Out of combat, Malarra is quiet and reserved. While not impolite, she does her best not to draw undo attention to herself. That being said, her heritage often means that attention finds her whether she likes it or not. Lacking the finesse with words to be able to deescalate most situations, she does her best to ignore most would-be aggressors until it no longer becomes possible... then she often will retaliate. First with words aimed at making these bullies rethink their planned actions. Then with every means she has to defend herself. In times of combat is where Malarra seems to most come out of her shell: trading verbal barbs with her adversaries and issuing quick observations to her allies (when she is fortunate enough to have any). Though she is not a cold-blooded killer by any means, she is also not the kind to give any aid to a fallen foe without having a compelling enough reason to do so. She has been known to accept willing surrender on occasion, but more often than not she gives as much mercy to her foes as she expects in return: none. |
