Torch Equipment Tricks

In addition to the feat, skill, or other prerequisites for each of these tricks, you must have the Equipment Trick (torch) feat to use a trick. You may use these tricks with any torch, including magical variants such as an everburning torch. Certain tricks may function with torches that do not emit heat or deal fire damage, as an everburning torch.

Unless otherwise stated, a torch must be lit to be used for a trick. Lighting a torch with flint and steel is a full-round action.

Delver (Knowledge [dungeoneering] 3 ranks): With a torch in hand, you're ready for any dangers that might lurk in the darkened depths. While holding a torch, you gain a +1 competence bonus to any Knowledge check involving subterranean creatures or hazards (such as dangerous fungi or oozes). The competence bonus increases to +2 if the subject of your Knowledge check is within range of your torch.

Flame Flinger (Throw Anything): You can treat torches as ranged throwing weapons with a range increment of 10 feet. On a critical hit, the target must succeed a successful DC 15 Reflex save or catch fire. This trick cannot be used with an everburning torch.

Improvised Torch (no prerequisites): Your knowledge of how to best wrap and prepare a torch allows you to turn almost anything into a proper torch. With 10 minutes of preparation, you can add a torch effect to any non-wooden weapon, such a greatsword, longsword, or metal-hafted light mace. When lit, this modified weapon sheds light as a normal torch and deals damage as normal for a weapon of its kind plus 1 point of fire damage.

Steady Burn (Survival 3 ranks): You can improve the performance of your torches. A single torch now lasts for 2 hours and illuminates a 30-foot radius with normal light, improving the light level by one step for an additional 30 feet beyond that area.

A man of mixed human ancestries, Sarrus was born and bred in Kaer Maga. Though fortunate enough to grow up someplace other than the Warrens, his life was still often defined by the shadow war between the factions of the Oriat. Contented enough with the status quo to grow into a capable young man, he was trained by his parents as an alchemist.

Finding the work somewhat bland and the life of a merchant a little too consistent for his liking, he began to branch out across all of Kaer Maga in search of something more exciting. After making friends with a few of the nigh-legendary guardsman that protected the city against everything below it, Sarrus eventually found himself in the employ of the Duskwardens.

A natural at the work, he put his alchemical training to use building weapons and protections for his comrades against the beasts and worse that lurked in the dark tunnels below Kaer Maga. But now, with his home district of the Oriat in an uproar, he turns his attention back to the surface in hopes of keeping his city from tearing itself apart even in the light of day.

Sarrus is a relatively handsome young man, though his appearance is often marred by scrapes and scabs resulting from clambering through the darkness below Kaer Maga.

He stands of average height, muscular enough to look the part of a warrior. Shoulder-length black hair drapes down beside well-groomed facial hair. He stands with a mischievous glint in his eye, a blade at his side, and often a torch in hand. A bandoleer of various vials and tinctures runs from shoulder to hip. A few daggers are tucked into various spots on his person.

Sarrus' first love is his city. Despite all of its faults, Kaer Maga is his home and he takes its security upon his shoulders as a Duskwarden. Though very serious about his job, he tends toward the spirit of adventure and excitement. Where other Duskwardens may tend away from danger, Sarrus leans into it--perhaps foolishly, at times. Yet above the tunnels and in the heart of the city, he knows that it is not always the strongest sword arm that wins the day--often it is a well placed word or an intimidating glare that prevail in Kaer Maga's streets.

Even in such encounters, though, he tends to be upfront and direct with his words--there is often little sense in wasting time dancing about the matter at hand, especially when everyone already knows. Consequently, Sarrus has mastered reading the ridiculous thieves' cant of Kaer Maga so that he can speak in plain language. This refusal to play by their rules often puts him at odds with the criminal element of the city, even as his position as Duskwarden earns a begrudging respect.
