About Professor Xander

Xander's Parables

Xander's Followers

Description: Professor Xander changes his appearance like a person changes their clothes, either with his hat of disguise, his sleeves of many garments, or transmutation spells. No matter what, he is colorful and loud, unless the situation calls for stealth. In those cases, he adopts camouflage coloring and less-flowy clothes. On his back Xander carries a backpack laden with magical supplies and survival gear. Strapped next to the backpack is a light crossbow. On his belt Xander wears three potion vials, a jar of honey, four wands, and a dagger. In his hand is clasped an iron staff engraved with a mosaic pattern reminiscent of broken chains.

Combat Tactics:
Xander doesn't like to use any resources against foes that he believes Unafe, Ary and Hinagiku can easily defeat. He relies extensively on blinding ray, his crossbow, and his maneuvers against weaker foes. When a task is worth expending effort over (such as in a difficult fight with high stakes, when the group is in a hurry, or his friends are being injured) Xander’s first instinct is to control the battlefield. If he can direct where the enemies go, he directs them away from his allies so that they can be on the pursuit rather than being attacked.

If that doesn’t work, he calls on shadow evocation using genius insight, smashing his foes with the strongest offense that he can muster. If that fails and his mythic reserves are full, he employs Wild Arcana to generate a solution to the problem at hand.

Staff of Freedom's Command:
CL 9th, Aura Moderate Enchantment, 10 lbs.

This 4-foot long iron staff is engraved with a mosaic pattern reminiscent of broken chains.

The staff allows the use of the following spells.

• liberating command (1 charge)
• freedom's toast (2 charges)
• break enchantment (4 charges)

Any good creature that is freed from a magical status effect by a spell cast with this staff receives a +2 bonus to will saves against compulsion effects from evil sources for the next 24 hours.

Staff of Freedom's Command has a consciousness and Ego. Now redeemed, the Staff's alignment is NG and motivated to venture forth and free slaves. The Staff no longer has any preference for one deity or race, but it does not function at all for non-redeemed slavers and bestows -2 negative levels upon any Evil wielder.
