Sapher Mornshire's page

The dwarf woman stands before you, standard fair for her race, broad-shouldered as well as thick of chest and hip. Her glossy blue-black hair is in thick braids, making you wonder if you've caught sight of true beauty...

That is until she turns around.

See, Sapher's face is about as plain as plain can be. Heck, the plainest Jane of all the Janes would even call the poor dwarf drab.
But just before you turn away, interest gone, you hesitate. Something... maybe the glint in her mahogany eyes, or roundness of her... um... cheeks, stirs something in you.
She'll notice and give a tired smile. "Yes, I am my goddess's faint hope (or sad joke), saying anyone, even a girl like me, will find love." the smile drops away and her hand rests on the heavy hammer on her side "But not today, so turn that gaze somewhere else or I'll smash your nethers into raspberry jam. Repeatedly!" the last part more of a growl.
Then she'll turn away muttering to herself, "And now I'm hungry for toast."

Sapher, short for Sapphire, since her mother had great hopes, and pushed her into the priesthood of Bolka (even though Mom's hopes were mostly dashed at that point).

The Mornshire's are a wealthy family firmly entrenched in the Five Kings Mountains, specifically in the temple city of Larrad. Sapher's particular branch of the family has been blessed with an abundance of daughters, most of which are quite fetching, Sapher, of course, being the most noticeable exception. "At least I'm not poor Sapphire" she'd hear plenty whispered too loudly around her by a cousin or sister or aunt or...

"A Bolka Inquisitor?" you ask...

"Yes I know!" Sapher snapped, obviously aware of how odd that was, "It was just... I wasn't exactly a great priestess in training. Powders and shy glances, gentle encouragements and um... well other things. If you hadn't noticed, I'm not the yummy flower type."

She gives you a glance, "Well, you're not a dwarf so you might not think any of us are yummy flower types, but anyway... I'm short-tempered, prone to hitting things, not subtle in pointing out b#!@*~!%. And worse of all (to the Bolkians) I'm Not Pretty!" Sapher sighs heavily and takes a deep drink of the swill in her cup

"Normally, they'd just say, 'thank you for trying' and usher you quickly out the door. But there is something, always something that stops a person about me, and makes them look again." she pauses and then adds dramatically "My Goddess's Touch!"" raising her hands in an explosion of awe and glitter (imagined of course) "And clerics, even exasperating soft fluffs of ones, don't get far if they ignore that kind of thing. "

"So Mistress Waydel, the oldest crankiest cleric of Bolka that has ever existed, brought me under her wing. And POOF, here I am. The only Bolka inquisitor known to exist."

You, her drinking companion for the evening, asked the next obvious question "What does a inquisitor of Bolka actually do?!?"

"Well, I've been tasked with stopping those things that could impede Love and Marriage" her cheeks take a slightly embarrassed shade, since that odd task should be coming from someone in a pink frilly dress, not a dwarf encased in dull steel and bristling with weapons.
"Good thing is that could be anything! Goblins and orcs are personal my favorite potential romance destroyers. I mean rampaging hordes of anything can kill and/or eat suitors, right? There might be something hidden deep in a ruin that is just waiting to WAKE up and crush all the love and marriage right out of the world." she uses her hands to mimic some huge winged thing busting out of a crypt and swooping down to eat running finger people.

"So I left, joined up with the Pathfinders, and here I am..."

Adoration (6/day, DC 13)As an immediate action, you can attempt to thwart a melee or
ranged attack that targets you. This ability functions as sanctuary,
but only against one individual attack. You must use the ability after
the attack is declared but before the roll is made. The creature
attacking you receives a Will save to negate this effect. If a creature
has more than one attack, this ability only affects one of the
attacks. You can use the ability a number of times per day equal to
3 + your Wisdom modifier. This is a mind-affecting effect.

Aura of Good (Ex)
The power of a paladin's aura of good (see the detect good spell)
is equal to her paladin level.

Empathic Link with Familiar (Su)
The master has an empathic link with his familiar out to a distance
of up to 1 mile. The master cannot see through the familiar's eyes,
but they can communicate empathically. Because of the limited
nature of the link, only general emotional content can be
communicated.
Because of this empathic link, the master has the same connection
to an item or place that his familiar does.

Judgment of Sacred Destruction
The inquisitor is filled with divine wrath, gaining a +1 sacred/profane
bonus on all weapon damage rolls. This bonus increases by +1 for
every three inquisitor levels she possesses.

Judgment of Sacred Healing
The inquisitor is surrounded by a healing light, gaining fast healing
1. This causes the inquisitor to heal 1 point of damage each round
as long as the inquisitor is alive and the judgment lasts. The
amount of healing increases by 1 point for every three inquisitor
levels she possesses.

Judgment of Sacred Justice
This judgment spurs the inquisitor to seek justice, granting a +1
sacred/profane bonus on all attack rolls. This bonus increases by +1
for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, this
bonus is doubled on all attack rolls made to confirm critical hits.

Judgment of Sacred Piercing
This judgment gives the inquisitor great focus and makes her spells
more potent. This benefit grants a +1 sacred/profane bonus on
concentration checks and caster level checks made to overcome a
target's spell resistance. This bonus increases by +1 for every three
inquisitor levels she possesses.

Judgment of Sacred Protection
The inquisitor is surrounded by a protective aura, granting a +1
sacred/profane bonus to Armor Class. This bonus increases by +1
for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, this
bonus is doubled against attack rolls made to confirm critical hits
against the inquisitor

Judgment of Sacred Purity
The inquisitor is protected from the vile taint of her foes, gaining a
+1 sacred/profane bonus on all saving throws. This bonus increases
by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level,
the bonus is doubled against curses, diseases, and poisons.

Judgment of Sacred Resiliency
This judgment makes the inquisitor resistant to harm, granting DR
1/magic. This DR increases by 1 for every five levels she
possesses. At 10th level, this DR changes from magic to an
alignment (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) that is opposite the
inquisitor's. If she is neutral, the inquisitor does not receive this
increase.

Judgment of Sacred Resistance
The inquisitor is shielded by a flickering aura, gaining 2 points of
energy resistance against one energy type (acid, cold, electricity,
fire, or sonic) chosen when the judgment is declared. The protection
increases by 2 for every three inquisitor levels she possesses.

Judgment of Sacred Smiting (Magic)
This judgment bathes the inquisitor's weapons in a divine light. The
inquisitor's weapons count as magic for the purposes of bypassing
damage reduction. At 6th level, the inquisitor's weapons also count
as one alignment type (chaotic, evil, good, or lawful) for the
purpose of bypassing damage reduction. The type selected must
match one of the inquisitor's alignments. If the inquisitor is neutral,
she does not receive this bonus. At 10th level, the inquisitor's
weapons also count as adamantine for the purpose of overcoming
damage reduction (but not for reducing hardness)

Share Will (Su)
Whenever an emissary or its master fails a saving throw against a
mind-affecting effect that affects only one of them, the other can
attempt the saving throw as well. If this second saving throw is a
success, treat the original result as a success, and the emissary
and its master can’t use this ability again for 24 hours. On a failure,
both the emissary and its master suffer the effects of the failed
saving throw, even if one of them wouldn’t ordinarily be a valid
target.
