About Pava / Nips at Heels

*Apologize to Audria for rudeness

Pava holds up their hands in mock surrender

Appearance:
Pava is a rangy beanpole as soft and comforting as rawhide. The sloping linework where their tattoos emerge only further emphasizes the straight lines of their long, lean limbs. Their clothing is cheap, roomy, and functional, dyed only with what was leftover, and muffling the slight clink of the armor beneath it. They carry something reminiscent of a klar strapped to one hand, but the chosen bones are small, and the normal spikes have been sawn off or replaced with cold iron - a better fit for the alleys of Korvosa than the broad steppes of the plateau. Their expressions move as fast as the rest of them - easily flickering between sardonic disdain, protective warmth, and cold anger, but they're not great at looking relaxed.

Special Abilities:
Favored Class: Brawler (+1 hp)

Finesse Training: Pava gains Deft Maneuvers as a bonus feat. Whenever they make a melee attack with close weapons they add their Dexterity modifer instead of their Strength modifer to the damage roll.

Sneak Attack: If Pava can catch an opponent when they are unable to defend themselves effectively from their attack, they can strike a vital spot for extra damage.

Pava’s attack deals extra damage anytime their target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks their target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and increases by 1d6 every 2 rogue levels thereafter (3d6). Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the target is within 30 feet. This additional damage is precision damage and is not multiplied on a critical hit.

With a weapon that deals nonlethal damage (such as a sap, unarmed strike, or whip), a rogue can make a sneak attack that deals nonlethal damage instead of lethal damage. They cannot use a weapon that deals lethal damage to deal nonlethal damage in a sneak attack—not even with the usual –4 penalty.

Pava must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. They cannot sneak attack while striking a creature with total concealment.

Frightening: Whenever Pava successfully uses Intimidate to demoralize a creature, the duration of the shaken condition is increased by 1 round. In addition, if the target is shaken for 4 or more rounds, Pava can instead decide to make the target frightened for 1 round.

Brutal Beating: Whenever Pava deals sneak attack damage, they can choose to forgo 1d6 points of sneak attack damage to make the target sickened for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 their rogue level (1). This ability does not stack with itself—only the most recent duration applies.

Evasion: Pava can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If they succeed at a Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, they instead take no damage. Evasion can be used only if the are wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Weapon Training: Pava gains Weapon Focus (close) as a bonus feat

Brawler's Cunning: Pava's Intelligence score counts as 13 for the purpose of meeting the prerequisites of combat feats.

They also receives a +2 bonus to their Combat Maneuver Defense whenever an opponent tries to trip or disarm them

Dirty Fighting: Pava can take advantage of a distracted foe. When they attempt a combat maneuver check against a foe they are flanking, they can forgo the +2 bonus on their attack roll for flanking to instead have the combat maneuver not provoke an attack of opportunity. If they would not provoke an attack of opportunity, they can instead increase the bonus on their attack roll for flanking to +4 for the combat maneuver check.

Iron Will: Pava is more resistant to mental effects. They get a +2 bonus on all Will saving throws.

Weapon Focus (close): Pava gets a +1 bonus to attack with close weapons.

Dazzling Display: Pava's skill with their favored weapons can frighten enemies. While wielding a weapon in which they have Weapon Focus, Pava can perform a bewildering show of prowess as a full-round action. They make an Intimidate check to demoralize all foes within 30' who can see their display.

They also receive a +2 bonus to their CMD whenever a foe tries to grapple them.
