Morthos von Janderhoff's page

Morthos is a Dwarf's Dwarf, dressing in a well-crafted suit of Dwarven stoneplate when he expects trouble, with a large axe strapped across his back, which although clearly of great antiquity, is obviously well cared for, with a wickedly sharp edge. He also possesses a long, bushy brown beard, which he usually weaves into a series of plaits, separated by iron beard-rings emblazoned with glowing Dwarven runes (Arcane Marks). Although he has a fiery temper, and a boisterous laugh, Morthos typically forms fast friendships, and greets foes and betrayals alike with swift destruction.

Morthos comes from a long line of stalwart platinum miners, who made a comfortable life in the mines of Zolurket. However, in the time when his father was but a stripling, the family was forced to flee after a nameless evil came to their Halls. Upon leaving their ancestral home, the clan fragmented; some sought refuge in one or more of the Dwarven Skycities; others took-up a more nomadic lifestyle, continually working the caravan trails as itinerant metallurgical experts. Morthos grandparents' families, however, were amongst those who settled in the Sky Citadel of Kraggodan (in Nirmathas), adopting a more sedentary existence as smelters, smiths, and jewelers.

As a young Dwarf, Morthos was told tales of the wonders of his families ancestral home, but on the topic of what drove them forth, his parents were strangely tight-lipped. They preferred to not dwell on certain aspects of the past, cherishing what they had.

Although he tried, Morthos discovered that he had no aptitude for his parents crafts, and so he instead decided to focus on learning what he could of his antecedents; his great-grandfather had been a warrior, and a good one at that, and he decided to follow in his footsteps. To that end, when he came of age, he took-up his great-grandfather's axe, and signed-on as a caravan guard and some-time bounty hunter, which allowed him to travel far an wide, along the local trade routes...

...On one such trip the caravan passed through the middling hamlet of Kassen. At the inn that night, over cups with one of the local Dwarves, Braggar Ironhame by name, he was told about the rather unusual coming-of-age ritual that the town engaged in. Fascinated, he made a point of observing the next time a group was to put through their paces, and over the following years, made a point of popping-back whenever he could to help with 'the show', striking up a decent friendship with Braggar. Unfortunately, recently, word reached him that something had gone horribly wrong with the most recent batch - villagers had been killed by some evil force. Hurrying to Kassem as quickly as he could, he was relieved to discover that the situation had been resolved satisfactorily, but was more than a little troubled by what had gone on; what had caused the dead to rise?

Defensive Training:

Lorekeeper:
Dwarves keep extensive records about their history and the world around them. Dwarves with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on Knowledge (history) skill checks that pertain to dwarves or their enemies. They can make such skill checks untrained. This racial trait replaces the greed racial trait.

Raging Drunk (Ex):
While raging, the drunken brute can drink a potion, or a tankard of ale or similar quantity of alcohol, as a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity. A potion has its normal effect, while an alcoholic drink allows the barbarian to maintain her rage that round without expending a round of rage for the day (instead of the alcohol’s normal effects). For each alcoholic drink consumed while raging, the barbarian is nauseated for 1 round when her rage expires, in addition the normal fatigue that follows a rage. Tireless rage does not negate this nauseated condition but the internal fortitude rage power does.

This ability replaces fast movement.

Rage (Ex):
A barbarian can call upon inner reserves of strength and ferocity, granting her additional combat prowess. Starting at 1st level, a barbarian can rage for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + her Constitution modifier. At each level after 1st, she can rage for 2 additional rounds. Temporary increases to Constitution, such as those gained from rage and spells like bear's endurance, do not increase the total number of rounds that a barbarian can rage per day. A barbarian can enter rage as a free action. The total number of rounds of rage per day is renewed after resting for 8 hours, although these hours do not need to be consecutive (37/day, including FC bonus and Trait bonus).

While in rage, a barbarian gains a +4 morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution, as well as a +2 morale bonus on Will saves. In addition, she takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase to Constitution grants the barbarian 2 hit points per Hit Dice, but these disappear when the rage ends and are not lost first like temporary hit points. While in rage, a barbarian cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.

A barbarian can end her rage as a free action and is fatigued after rage for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the rage. A barbarian cannot enter a new rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter rage multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If a barbarian falls unconscious, her rage immediately ends, placing her in peril of death.

Harangue Giant (Ex):
While raging, a giant stalker can speak Giant. If the giant stalker already knows Giant, she gains a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks when speaking Giant while raging.

This ability alters rage.

Smell Giants (Ex):
A 2nd level, a giant stalker gains the scent special ability, but with regard only to humanoids with the giant subtype.

This ability replaces uncanny dodge.

Giant Baiter (Su):
At 3rd level, a raging giant stalker can take a move action to erupt into a violent or vulgar display directed at a single giant within 60 feet. This display is infused with secret magical traditions that draw upon the Mammoth Lords’ ancestral enmities toward giants. A targeted giant must succeed at a Will save (DC = 10 + half the giant stalker’s barbarian level + the giant stalker’s Constitution modifier) or be compelled to focus its attacks on the giant stalker; this ability can also affect non-giant creatures that are Large or larger, though such creatures gain a +4 bonus on the Will save to resist the effect. This compulsion ends if the giant stalker is out of sight or inaccessible to the giant’s attacks. While baited, a giant is distracted and enraged by the insults—a giant stalker gains a +1 dodge bonus to her AC against any giant she has successfully baited. Once baited, a giant remains baited for a number of rounds equal to the giant stalker’s Constitution modifier, or until the giant stalker’s rage ends (whichever comes first). If the giant stalker baits a different giant, any previously baited giant is no longer baited. A giant that successfully saves against baiting is immune to that giant stalker’s giant baiter ability for 24 hours. This is a language-dependent mind affecting effect.

At 6th level, a giant stalker can bait two giants at once, and her AC bonus against baited giants increases to +2. At 9th level, baiting giants becomes a swift action, and her AC bonus against baited giants increases to +3. At 12th level, she can bait up to three giants at once, and her AC bonus against baited giants increases to +4. At 15th level, baiting giants becomes a free action, and her AC bonus against baited giants increases to +5. At 18th level, a giant stalker can bait a number of giants equal to 3 + her Constitution modifier, and her AC bonus against baited giants increases to +6.

This ability replaces trap sense.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex):
At 5th level and higher, a barbarian can no longer be flanked. This defense denies a rogue the ability to sneak attack the barbarian by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target has barbarian levels.

If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from another class, the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.

Damage Reduction (Ex):
At 7th level, a barbarian gains damage reduction. Subtract 1 from the damage the barbarian takes each time she is dealt damage from a weapon or a natural attack. At 10th level, and every three barbarian levels thereafter (13th, 16th, and 19th level), this damage reduction rises by 1 point. Damage reduction can reduce damage to 0 but not below 0.

Reckless Abandon (Ex):
While raging, the barbarian can take a –1 penalty to AC to gain a +1 bonus on attack rolls. The AC penalty increases by –1 and the attack roll bonus increases by +1 at 4th level and every four levels thereafter.

Giant Stalker Defense (Ex):
When raging, a giant stalker does not take a penalty to Armor Class against attacks from giants.

Internal Fortitude (Ex):
While raging, the barbarian is immune to the sickened and nauseated conditions. A barbarian must be at least 8th level before selecting this rage power.

Beast Totem, Lesser (Su):
While raging, the barbarian gains two claw attacks. These attacks are considered primary attacks and are made at the barbarian’s full base attack bonus. The claws deal 1d6 points of slashing damage (1d4 if Small) plus the barbarian’s Strength modifier.

Beast Totem (Su):
While raging, the barbarian gains a +1 natural armor bonus. This bonus increases by +1 for every four levels the barbarian has attained. A barbarian must have the lesser beast totem rage power to select this rage power. A barbarian must be at least 6th level to select this rage power.
