Ikari Hateshinai's page

Ikari Hateshinai is a civilised man. So many people think of Kitsune as forest spirits, tricksters. Ikari loathes that image with a passion. Daikitsu, the patron deity of all the fox-folk, is a goddess of agriculture. She is a goddess of grain, of farmers.

Ikari always expressed his devotion to Daikitsu through farming - harnessing her gifts to cultivate the earth and bring forth a bountiful harvest. He resented the less serious, flighty Kitsune of his clan. Why would they not see the value and dignity of honest labour? Eventually, if became too much for Ikari. He went into a self-imposed exile. He found sanctuary with the Jinin elves, where he lived quite happily.

But Ikari always knew that Daikitsu had something particular in mind for him. He had a vocation: to stand for the goddess, to show his own people and others that Kitsune are not merely trickster spirits but are capable of achieving great things through hard work.

And so Ikari left Jinin, and sought out gainful employment. A Pathfinder lodge offered training and regular work, along with opportunities to travel and spread the word of Daikitsu.

racial abilities:

Lowlight Vision
Change Shape: A kitsune can assume the appearance of a specific single human form of the same sex. The kitsune always takes this specific form when she uses this ability. A kitsune in human form cannot use her bite attack, but gains a +10 racial bonus on Disguise checks made to appear human. Changing shape is a standard action. This ability otherwise functions as alter self, except that the kitsune does not adjust her ability scores and can remain in this form indefinitely.
Agile: Kitsune receive a +2 racial bonus on Acrobatics checks.
Kitsune Magic: Kitsune add 1 to the DCs of any saving throws to resist enchantment spells that they cast. Kitsune with a Charisma score of 11 or higher gain the following spell-like ability: 3/day—dancing lights.
Natural Weapons: In her natural form, a kitsune has a bite attack that deals 1d4 points of damage.

Class abilities:
Crowd Control (Ex): At 1st level, an urban barbarian gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC when adjacent to two or more enemies. In addition, her movement is not impeded by crowds, and she gains a bonus equal to 1/2 her barbarian level on Intimidate checks to influence crowds. This ability replaces fast movement.

Controlled Rage (Ex): When an urban barbarian rages, instead of making a normal rage she applies a +4 morale bonus to her Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution. This bonus increases to +6 when she gains greater rage and +8 when she gains mighty rage. She may apply the full bonus to one ability score or may split the bonus between several scores in increments of +2. When using a controlled rage, an urban barbarian gains no bonus on Will saves, takes no penalties to AC, and can still use Intelligence-, Dexterity-, and Charisma-based skills. This ability otherwise follows the normal rules for rage. (12/12)

Improved Uncanny Dodge: Ikari cannot be caught flat-footed, even if the attacker is invisible. He still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. He can still lose his Dexterity bonus to AC if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against him. Ikari cannot be flanked except by a Rogue of at least level 9.

Elemental Fury (Ex): At 3rd level, whenever the elemental kin takes an amount of energy damage equal to or greater than her barbarian level while raging, she adds 1 to the total number of rounds that she can rage that day. At 6th level, and every three levels thereafter, the number of extra rounds per energy attack increases by +1, to a maximum of +6 rounds per energy attack at at 18th level. This ability replaces trap sense.

Rage Powers:
summer rage. The barbarian channels the heat of late summer, making the air around her hot and oppressive. A creature within the barbarian’s reach becomes fatigued as long as it remains within the barbarian’s reach unless it succeeds at a Fortitude save (DC = 10 + half the barbarian’s level + her Constitution modifier) to become immune for 24 hours.
lesser elemental rage. As a swift action, the barbarian can cause her melee attacks to deal an additional 1d6 points of energy damage (acid, cold, electricity, or fire) for 1 round. A barbarian must be at least 4th level to select this rage power. This power can only be used once per rage.

Variant Channel (positive energy, farming/agriculture) (Su): 4 times per day Ikari can channel positive energy in a 30' radius as a standard action by displaying the holy symbol of Daikitsu. This heals living creatures for 1d6/2 damage (1d6 x 1.5 for plant creatures) and those creatures ignore fatigue for 1 minute. If used to harm undead, Ikari's channel does 1d6 damage (DC11 Will for half).

Domains: Growth (Plant) & Community

GROWTH DOMAIN:
Enlarge (Su): As a swift action you can enlarge yourself for 1 round, as if you were the target of the enlarge person spell. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Domain spell: Enlarge person; (barkskin on spell list, lvl 2 domain)

COMMUNITY DOMAIN:
Calming Touch (Sp): You can touch a creature as a standard action to heal it of 1d6 points of nonlethal damage + 1 point per cleric level. This touch also removes the fatigued, shaken, and sickened conditions (but has no effect on more severe conditions). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Domain spell: bless

Caravan Bond (Su): At 1st level, by leading a group prayer for 1 minute, a Varisian pilgrim can select a number of traveling companions equal to her cleric level + her Wisdom bonus. She may use her domain-granted powers on any of these traveling companions as if they were her. She can use these abilities on her traveling companions at a range of up to 30 feet, even if the ability normally requires her touch. This ability replaces the cleric’s proficiency with medium armor and shields— she retains proficiency with light armor only.

Spells & orisons

Master of Trade
(uses: chronicle 11, spear +1; chronicle 13, ring of protection +1)

Ikari is an elemental kitsune - a storm of righteous divine fury.

Ikari's main battle tactic is to set up rage cycling with his variant channel and position himself on the battlefield to maximise opportunities to take AoOs against moving enemies with his spear.

Use controlled rage to boost accuracy and damage (STR). Boost DEX only for ranged attacks.

Use your swift actions - Enlarge is primarily to increase AoOs, and lesser elemental rage for increased damage. You can't do both in the same round, and lesser elemental rage is 1/rage so it can really help to rage cycle.
