Swift Action

Savage Intuition - When combat begins, if you have rounds of rage remaining, you may automatically enter a rage without using an action at the start of the first round of combat (or at the start of the surprise round, if there is one), even if you are not otherwise aware that combat has begun.

Inspired Rage - +4 morale bonus to Str & Con, +4 morale bonus on Will saves, –1 AC, allies cannot use any Cha-, Dex-, or Int-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration

Glorious Epic - Perform for 10 minutes and expend 1 round of raging song to influence opinions positively towards a heroic subject of my choice. If subject attempts Diplomacy or Intimidate check against anyone who listened to the full performance, receives circumstance bonus on that check equal to the Will save bonus from inspired rage.

Song of Strength - Once per round while using this performance, allies within 60 feet who can hear me may add 1/2 my level to a Strength check or Strength-based skill check.

Dirge of Doom (Su): Can create a sense of growing dread in enemies, causing them to become shaken (only affects enemies within 30 feet and able to hear performance). Persists for as long as the enemy is within 30 feet and performance continues. This cannot cause a creature to become frightened or panicked, even if the targets are already shaken from another effect. This is a sonic mind-affecting fear effect, and relies on audible components.

Intimidating Glare & Battle Roar- Can make an Intimidate check against one adjacent foe as move action. If successful foe is shaken for 1d4 rounds + 1 round for every 5 points by which the check exceeds the DC and takes d6 sonic damage.

Skald's Vigor - While maintaining raging song gain fast healing equal to the Strength bonus song provides, starting in the round after you begin the song. Fast healing ends if song not maintained.

Reckless Rage - When using Power Attack while using raging song, take an additional –1 penalty on melee attack rolls and CMB checks and gain an additional +3 bonus on melee damage rolls.

Linnorm Death Curse, Fjord - Melee attacks deal an additional 1 point of cold damage. If knocked unconscious or killed by an attack or spell attacker suffers the curse of drowning (Will negates).
Curse of Drowning: save Will DC 10 + 1/2 level + Cha bonus; target is unable to breathe water (even with magic), can hold its breath only half as long as normal, and is sickened whenever it holds its breath.

Song of the Fallen - Select a dead ally within 60 feet and expend 1 round of raging song to bring that ally back to life. The revived ally is alive but staggered. Each round may expend another 1 round of raging song to keep that ally alive for another round. The ally automatically dies if performance ends or is interrupted. May revive multiple allies with this ability (either at the same time or over successive rounds) but must expend 1 round of raging song per revived ally per round to maintain the effect.

All corded muscle and weather-beaten skin, Marnir cuts an intimidating figure. His long blond hair is braided with leather cords to keep it out of his face, his equally blond beard is kept short, and his green eyes seem almost cold. A life of raiding and sailing the open seas has given him a practical demeanour despite his youth, though his Ulfen zeal for life is clearly not far beneath the surface.

Born into the raiding life in the Ironbound Islands of the Lands of the Linnorm Kings, Marnir has known nothing but the open sea and the hunt for plunder his whole life.

With his strong personality and innate magics Marnir has always been in demand by the most successful longboat captains. As such he eagerly joined the crew of the infamous Halfbjorn the Redhanded, who's ambition was to plunder and raid his way down the Steaming Sea along the western coasts of Avistand and Garund, and then to enter the pirate nation of The Shackles. Marnir saw how powerful he could become at Halfbjorn's side, and signed on without hesitation.

Halfbjorn and Marnir's plan started well. The crew of the Dragon's Widow sailed and raided their way down the coasts of Varisia, Nidal, Cheliax and Rahadoum before skirting the coast of the Sodden Lands, past the great eye of Abendego. The ship sailed into The Shackles laden with treasure, which Halfbjorn intended to use to buy his way into power. The Dragon's Widow landed in Port Peril, and the crew were finally granted the extended shore leave they had all been craving for many months.

Marnir and some of his shipmates headed straight to the inn with their shares of the booty, and proceded to get roaring drunk. A chance encounter with a beautiful woman led to a very unsteady Marnir being led outside the inn, a hive of scum and villainy called the Formidably Maid, ostensibly for some intimate company. He was unable to defend himself from the very burly and very sober pirates who clubbed him into unconsciousness and dragged him away from the inn, his shipmates and his dreams of power.

Charts of the Fair Winds
The detailed markings on these charts grant a +2 circumstance bonus on Profession (sailor) or Survival checks to navigate within the Shackles.

In addition, a multitude of wrinkles, stains, and blemishes mar the charts’ surfaces. Anyone meticulously studying the charts notices that these markings shift over time. The creases, smudges, and blotches on the map represent real weather conditions (such as clouds, rain, and wind) in the region, allowing an informed observer to determine the current weather patterns over the islands of the Shackles. The charts grant a +4 competence bonus on Survival checks made to predict future weather conditions and a +2 competence bonus on Survival checks to gain a bonus on Fortitude saves against severe weather.

Finally, the pilot of a wind-propelled ship can make a DC 20 Profession (sailor) check to plot a course within the Shackles using the charts. If the check is successful, the charts grant the ship a +10% enhancement bonus to its waterborne speed as long as it follows the plotted course.

Svingli's Eye
In addition to an astrolabe’s normal +2 circumstance bonus, Svingli’s Eye grants a further +2 competence bonus on Knowledge (geography), Profession (sailor), and Survival checks when used to navigate on land or sea. Once per day, the user can make a DC 20 Perception check while using Svingli’s Eye as a move action to catch a glimpse of how things really are for 1 round, as if with a true seeing spell. While using the astrolabe’s true seeing ability, the user can also see through concealment caused by smoke or fog and gains a +10 competence bonus on Perception checks to spot hidden or disguised creatures or objects.

Zul
+1 human bane trident
Deals 1 point of damage each time it is grasped, unless the wielder has a natural armor bonus or is wearing gauntlets.
As an immediate action after a successful melee attack with the trident, Zul’s wielder can transmute the substance of the target creature into rigid coral. This attack deals 1d4 points of Dexterity damage and slows the target (as the spell) for 1 round as its flesh calcifies. A DC 16 Fortitude save negates the slow effect but not the ability damage. A target reduced to 0 Dexterity is permanently petrified, transformed into inert, mindless coral. Break enchantment or restoration reverses all of the effects of this calcification. This ability can be used up to 7 times per day.

Mutineer's bane earring
This magic earring grows warm whenever a ship’s crew begins muttering of mutiny, granting the wearer of a mutineer’s bane earring a +5 bonus on all Sense Motive checks made while on a ship under such conditions of poor morale.

A mutineer’s bane earring has additional effects if worn by a commodore or admiral. If worn by a commodore, that commodore’s squadron gains a +3 bonus on morale checks in fleet battles. If worn by an admiral, all squadrons in the admiral’s fleet gain a +1 bonus on morale checks in fleet battles.
