Sergei von Janderhoff's page

Sergei dresses in solid suit of banded mail, proudly emblazoned on the front with a large depiction of Torag's holy symbol. Tall for a Dwarf, he could almost pass for a short human, were it not for the fact that he is as broad and muscular as any dwarf, making him look like a mobile bulwark when he goes anywhere in his armor (which is practically all of the time). Across his back are a warhammer and a battleaxe, each engraved with his family's crest, and whilst not the work of a master, both weapons are clearly well cared for.

Sergei also possesses a long, bushy beard, of a fiery red color that puts many who see him in mind of a cascade of living flame, which he chooses to tame by weaving it into a series of plaits, separated by iron beard-rings emblazoned with glowing Dwarven runes. Although he has a fiery temper, and a boisterous laugh, Sergei typically forms fast friendships, and greets foes and betrayals alike with swift destruction.

Sergei comes from a long line of stalwart mithral miners and gem-cutters, who made a comfortable life in the mines of Janderhoff. Despite being the second of three sons, familial expectations were nonetheless high; Sergei did, after all, have a duty to his brethren, the family name, and to his honored ancestors. Nonetheless, whilst his eldest brother, Dumasten, was handed the reigns of the family business, Sergei was bundled off into Torag's clergy, where he quickly established himself as an eager member of the faith's more militant wing.

Sergei did, however, have a strong streak of wanderlust - he had read stories growing up about the world outside his home's walls, but he had never really experienced it. When it was decided to send a trading delegation to Trunau, he jumped at the opportunity eagerly, reasoning that it would be a good way to get his wanderlust out of his system, and let him settle down to defending hearth and home, like any proper dwarf should.

1st: Power Attack
3rd:

Seeker
You are always on the lookout for reward and danger.

Benefit: You gain a +1 trait bonus on Perception checks, and Perception is always a class skill for you.

Giant-Blooded:
Your family has always been dogged by rumors that a bit of giant blood got into the family’s veins at some point. Whether this was through alchemical or magical experimentation, or because your great-great-grandfather married a giant, it has made you big for your race, and may have given you other minor cosmetic features of giants, such as flaming red hair, a bluish tinge to your skin, or oversized hands.

Benefit: When you wield a weapon that is larger than your size, the penalty on attack rolls for using inappropriately sized weapons is reduced by half. In addition, you gain a +2 trait bonus to your CMD against awesome blow combat maneuvers. If you’re a dwarf, your stability racial trait applies to awesome blow combat maneuvers as well.

Slow and Steady:
Dwarves have a base speed of 20 feet, but their speed is never modified by armor or encumbrance.
Darkvision:
Dwarves can see in the dark up to 60 feet. See Vision and Light.
Defensive Training:
Dwarves get a +4 dodge bonus to AC against monsters of the giant subtype.
Greed:
Dwarves gain a +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks made to determine the price of non-magical goods that contain precious metals or gemstones.
Hatred:
Dwarves receive a +1 bonus on attack rolls against humanoid creatures of the orc and goblinoid subtypes due to special training against these hated foes.
Hardy:
Dwarves receive a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities.
Stability:
Dwarves receive a +4 racial bonus to their Combat Maneuver Defense when resisting a bull rush or trip attempt while standing on the ground.
Stonecunning:
Dwarves receive a +2 bonus on Perception checks to potentially notice unusual stonework, such as traps and hidden doors located in stone walls or floors. They receive a check to notice such features whenever they pass within 10 feet of them, whether or not they are actively looking.
Weapon Familiarity:
Dwarves are proficient with battleaxes, heavy picks, and warhammers, and treat any weapon with the word 'dwarven' in its name as a martial weapon.

Aura of Good(Ex):

Detect Evil (Sp):
At will, a paladin can use detect evil, as the spell. A paladin can, as a move action, concentrate on a single item or individual within 60 feet and determine if it is evil, learning the strength of its aura as if having studied it for 3 rounds. While focusing on one individual or object, the paladin does not detect evil in any other object or individual within range.

Stonestrike (Su):
Once per day per paladin level, a stonelord can draw upon the power of the living rock. As a swift action, she treats her melee attacks until the beginning of her next turn (whether armed or unarmed) as magical and adamantine, including ignoring hardness up to twice her paladin level, with a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls, as well as on combat maneuver checks. This bonus also applies to her CMD if she or her target is touching the ground or a stone structure. This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter.

This ability replaces smite evil.

Heartstone (Ex):
At 2nd level, a stonelord's flesh becomes progressively rockier. She gains a +1 natural armor bonus to AC and DR/adamantine equal to 1/2 her paladin level. The natural armor bonus increases by +1 at 6th level, and every four levels thereafter, to a maximum of +5 at 18th level. These benefits are halved when not touching the ground or a stone structure.

This ability replaces divine grace.

Lay On Hands (Su):
Beginning at 2nd level, a paladin can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day she can use this ability a number of times equal to 1/2 her paladin level plus her Charisma modifier (0/day). With one use of this ability, a paladin can heal 1d6 hit points of damage for every two paladin levels she possesses. Using this ability is a standard action, unless the paladin targets herself, in which case it is a swift action. Despite the name of this ability, a paladin only needs one free hand to use this ability.

Alternatively, a paladin can use this healing power to deal damage to undead creatures, dealing 1d6 points of damage for every two levels the paladin possesses. Using lay on hands in this way requires a successful melee touch attack and doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity. Undead do not receive a saving throw against this damage.

Aura of Courage (Su):
At 3rd level, a paladin is immune to fear (magical or otherwise). Each ally within 10 feet of her gains a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against fear effects. This ability functions only while the paladin is conscious, not if she is unconscious or dead.

Stoneblood (Ex):
At 3rd level, a stonelord's vitals begin to calcify and her blood transforms into liquid stone. She adds her paladin level on checks to stabilize at negative hit points and gains a 25% chance to ignore a critical hit or precision damage. This does not stack with fortification armor or similar effects.

At 9th level, this chance increases to 50% and she becomes immune to petrification.

At 15th level, this chance increases to 75% and she becomes immune to bleed and blood drain effects.

This ability replaces divine health and her mercies gained at 3rd, 9th, and 15th level.

Defensive Stance (Ex):
At 4th level, a stonelord gains the defensive stance ability, as a stalwart defender, and may select one defensive power at 8th level and every four levels thereafter. Levels of stalwart defender stack with her paladin levels when determining the total number of rounds that she can maintain her defensive stance per day. A stonelord does not gain any spells or spellcasting abilities, does not have a caster level, and cannot use spell trigger or spell completion magic items.

Earth Channel (Su):
At 4th level, a stonelord gains Elemental Channel (earth) as a bonus feat, which she may activate by spending two uses of her lay on hands ability, using her paladin level as her effective cleric level.

This ability replaces channel positive energy.
