Yhrrilka is a powerfully-built young woman, 5ft 10in and about 170 lbs. Her facial features are largely human, but she bears clear evidence of her orcish ancestry in her pointed ears, green skin, golden irises to her eyes, and slightly broader build relative to a human (her eyeteeth, while slightly larger than human norm, are definitely not large enough to protrude while her mouth is closed). She wears her black hair in a braid down the back, and the sides of her head are shaved. She has a sun tattoo on each of her wrists, another under her hair at the base of her skull, and one more over her heart (those latter two are not normally visible, covered by her hair and her shirt). She also has several tattoos done more for decorative purposes across her shoulders and upper back, representing several signs of the Cosmic Caravan. She tends to dress in boots, either pants or skirts/dresses that come to about knee-length, and tends toward tops with short sleeves or bare shoulders, the better to show off her craft. When she first came to Korvosa, she tended toward the leathers and buckskins she wore in Belkzen, but has since started trying more "human" fashion styles.

Yhrrilka was sent to Korvosa, accompanied by Zohruk, a young man from her tribe whom she had known for years and was quite close with. The pair of youths made their way to the city, and settled themselves in. The plan was to just be good citizens. Yhrrilka ended up working in a tattoo parlor run by a dwarf. They slept in a storeroom in the back, and she rented space in his shop, where she inked customers, performed pyromancies to tell fortunes, and did Harrow readings. Sometimes all three at once.

Things were good for the first few months, until Torsten suddenly told the two that they had to leave. When Ril and Zoh pressed him about it, Torsten revealed that a local gang leader named Gaedren Lamm was trying to extort money from the shop. The two young half-orcs immediately offered to help watch over their new home. Torsten refused, saying that this was his problem and that the best thing they could do was to protect themselves. It was with great reluctance and gratitude that he finally accepted their offer.

When the attack came, it was just long enough since Lamm's threat that no one was quite as vigilant as they had been at the outset. Lamm's men broke into the storeroom and started the fire there, which happened to contain both Ril and Zohruk. Ril woke up in the night, having heard a sound. A man was standing over her bed, with a knife in his hand and murderous intent in his eyes. The girl's magic saved her, and dispatched her attacker, but by then the damage was done, and the building was rapidly going up in flames. Ril stumbled across Zohruk's body in the smoke as she headed for the door. He'd killed two men before succumbing to their numbers.

Yhrrilka wandered the streets of Korvosa in a daze for two days, until, at the urgings of a note she found in her pack, she was reunited with Torsten and a new friend, Macaria. The three of them avenged themselves on Gaedren Lamm, but little did they know what events would be set in motion beyond that...

Fencing Sphere

Fatal Thrust: Whenever you make an attack action or an attack of opportunity against a target that is within 30 ft. and that you are flanking, that is flat-footed, or that has lost its Dexterity bonus to AC (such as through a successful feint), you deal an additional +1d6 precision damage to the target. This damage is not multiplied on a critical hit. This damage increases by an additional 1d6 precision damage for every 5 points of base attack bonus you possess.

Expert Feint: When you succeed at a feint check against a target, that target also loses its Dexterity bonus to its armor class against all attacks until the beginning of your next turn, in addition to your next attack.

Fast Feint You may attempt to feint a creature as a move action. In addition, once per round when you succeed on a feint attempt against a creature, you may expend martial focus to move up to your speed. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity from the target of your feint.

Feint Strike: Whenever you succeed at a feint against a creature, you may make a single attack against them with any weapon you are wielding as a swift action. You may expend your martial focus to instead make this attack as an attack of opportunity.

Focusing Feint: Whenever you succeed at a feint against a creature, you may regain your martial focus as a swift action.

Hand Slash (exploit): Make a disarm combat maneuver against the target as a free action. This disarm does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

Parry and Riposte: When a creature makes a melee attack against you, you may expend your martial focus and use an attack of opportunity to attempt to parry that attack. Make an attack roll as if you were making an attack of opportunity, but for each size category the attacking creature is larger than you, you take a –2 penalty on this roll. If your result is greater than the attacking creature’s result, the creature’s attack automatically misses and you regain your martial focus. If your base attack bonus is +5 or greater, you may choose to make a single melee attack against a creature whose attack you have successfully parried instead of regaining your martial focus.

Unlikely Feint: You do not suffer a penalty when feinting against non-humanoids, and the penalty against feinting a creature with an Intelligence of 1 or 2 is reduced to -4. You may attempt to feint mindless creatures, but suffer a -8 penalty. For every 5 points of base attack bonus you possess, these penalties are reduced by 2 (no penalty for Int 1 or 2, -4 for mindless).

Shield Sphere

Active Defense: If you are using a shield and you are attacked by a creature you are aware of while not flat-footed, you may spend an attack of opportunity to increase your shield bonus to AC against that attack by +2 (+1 per 4 BAB, current total bonus +4). This decision must be made before the roll is made.
Shield Sphere is being pushed back to a level 11 pickup.

Warleader Sphere

Tactics are coordinated battle plans that require continuing direction from the practitioner to maintain. A creature must have line of sight to, and be able to see, the practitioner to benefit from a tactic. Beginning a tactic is a move action, and it can be maintained each round as a move or swift action. Once activated, you may switch between any tactics you know each time you use a swift action to maintain an ongoing tactic. Tactics affect all allied creatures within a radius of 10 ft. + 5ft. per rank in Influence you possess, and may be centered on any square you have both line of sight and line of effect to. You may recenter an ongoing tactic at a new location as part of the swift action used to maintain it. The benefits of your tactics end immediately if you are helpless, killed, paralyzed, rendered unconscious, or stunned.

Aggressive Flanking: While within the affected area of this tactic, allied creatures are considered to be flanking as long as they both threaten the same creature, regardless of their comparative positioning.

Covert Operations: Allies within range of this tactic are granted a competence bonus on Acrobatics, Escape Artist, and Stealth checks, equal to 3+1 for every 4 ranks in Influence you possess (current bonus +5). Allies benefiting from this tactic may use the Acrobatics skill to move through threatened squares at full speed without penalty. Allies can benefit from your Covert Operations tactic even if they cannot see you.

Shouts are sound-based effects centered on the practitioner that affect creatures in an area of effect centered on the practitioner with a radius of 10 ft. + 5 ft. per 2 ranks in Influence the practitioner possesses. The practitioner may choose whether or not to include himself in the effects of his shout. The effects of shouts last for a number of rounds equal to 1 + 1 for every 4 ranks in Influence you possess, and use your ranks in Influence instead of your base attack bonus when determining any saving throws. Unless otherwise noted, using a shout is a standard action. Deaf characters or characters otherwise lacking the ability to hear gain a +5 bonus on all saves against shout effects, and must attempt a saving throw against a shout even if its effects would be beneficial. Practitioners in the area of a silence spell or otherwise unable to make a sound cannot use shouts until they are once more able to be heard.

While some shouts only affect allies or enemies, others affect all targets within their area of effect. When performing such a shout, you may spend a move action to warn your allies to cover their ears and negate the effects, but doing so gives enemies within the area of effect a +5 bonus to their saving throw against the shout’s effects. Some shouts may require you to expend your martial focus, as described in their entry.

Fierce Shout: When you use this shout, you and all affected allies gain a +1 morale bonus on damage rolls on their first attack each turn. For every 2 ranks in Diplomacy you possess, this morale bonus to damage is increased by +1. This is a mind-affecting emotion effect.

Persisting Influence: Your leadership in battle clings to allies and enemies alike. Whenever the benefits of a shout or tactic you initiated would end, their benefits persist for +1 round, increasing by +1 for every 7 ranks in Influence you possess. Instantaneous effects are not affected by this talent, nor are tactics that end because you used a swift action to activate a different tactic.

Destruction - CL 10; DC 20; Duration None; Range Close (50 ft), Touch; Talents Searing Blast, Energy Strike, Explosive Orb, Penetrating Blast; Drawbacks Energy Focus (Fire)
- Destructive Blast (Searing Blast, 5d8+10 fire damage)
- Energy Strike As a standard action, you may make a single weapon attack in conjunction with making a destructive blast. This casting cannot be reduced below a standard action, and does not provoke attacks of opportunity, unless as usual if making a ranged attack. If the target is struck by the attack, it is also struck by the destructive blast. If using a scatter weapon, the blast only applies to a single target, chosen at the time of attack.
- Explosive Orb (blast shape) You may transform your destructive blast into a burst effect centered anywhere within range. This destructive blast fills a single 5-foot square (Reflex negates). You may spend a spell point to increase this burst to a radius of up to 10 feet + 5 feet per 5 caster levels (Reflex half).
- Penetrating Blast Your destructive blast ignores energy resistance equal to your caster level. You may spend a spell point to increase this effect to become twice your caster level. If a creature has immunity to your destructive blast’s damage type, treat that immunity as if it were ‘resistance 40’ instead of ‘immunity’ and calculate as normal.

Divination - CL 10; DC 20; Duration Concentration; Range Medium (200 ft.); Talents Blindfolded Oracle, Divine future, See Hazard, Witness the City; Drawbacks None
- Divine
Divine magical auras (details linked)

Divine hostility: You may divine whenever a creature or an object within range takes hit point damage. In addition, you gain knowledge as to the amount and type of damage dealt and from what direction the damage was dealt from. If the source of the damage is inside the area of your divine effect, you also learn what square the source occupied.

Divine protection: You may divine all creatures you have pinpointed within range and determine which of those creatures have the lowest and highest armor class. Alternatively, you may divine the lowest and highest saving throw each of these creatures has. You do not however determine the values for any of these attributes.

Divine future: You may divine for a glimpse of the future, giving yourself insight into the happenings of that day. At any time during that day, you may add an insight bonus equal to 1d4 + 1 per 5 caster levels to one attack roll, skill check, saving throw, ability check, initiative roll, or combat maneuver roll you are about to make. As an immediate action, you may instead grant this benefit to an ally who can both see and hear you.

Witness the City: You may spend a spell point to see, hear, smell, feel, and even taste a torrent of past scenes and pieces of conversations related to anything in a settlement you are currently in. At the end of each of your turns for the duration of this divination, attempt a single Influence check to gather information as though you had spent 1d4 hours talking to local people, without having to use an action to do so. Multiple Influence checks made to gather information on the same topic always grants the same information as the first check. You can use your Perception bonus in place of your Influence bonus if you so wish, but with a -5 penalty.

- Sense
Blindfolded Oracle (sense): You may spend a spell point to grant yourself blindsense to a range of close. You must close your eyes to use this ability. For the purpose of this ability, opening or closing your eyes is a free action you may take once per round. You may spend an additional spell point to upgrade this ability to blindsight.

See Hazard: You may spend a spell point to gain a free Perception check to notice traps and hazards when you are within 10 ft of them, be they mechanical (trip wires, dart throwers, etc.) magical (rune spells, sigils, etc.) or natural (quick sand, pit falls, etc.). This does not give you insight into disabling such traps or hazards.

Enhancement - CL 10; DC 20; Duration 1hr/CL; Range Personal; Talents Enhance Focus; Drawbacks Personal Magic, Limited Enhancement (only Enhance Focus, and it only enhances Craft skill)
- Enhance Focus Spend a spell point to gain a +7 enhancement bonus to Craft skill. (+5, +1 per 4 CL)

Life - CL 10; DC 20; Duration Instantaneous; Range Touch; Talents Restore health (cure); Drawbacks None
- Cure As a standard action, you may spend a spell point to touch a target and heal it of 1d8+20 damage.
- Restore As a standard action, you may touch a target and spend a spell point to restore their health (Will negates (harmless)). When using restore, you must choose to restore mind, body, or soul. If affecting multiple targets, this choice becomes the same for all targets.
Restoring mind removes the dazzled, staggered and shaken conditions, and lessens frightened to shaken, or panicked to frightened.
Restoring body removes the battered, fatigued, exhausted, sickened, and nauseated conditions.
Restoring soul heals 1d4 points of ability damage to one ability score of your choice.
Restore Health (cure): Cure heals +1hp/lvl. When restoring a target’s body, the exhausted and nauseated conditions are completely removed rather than lessened, and you may attempt a magic skill check against the DC of any poison or disease the target is suffering from. On a success, this removes that poison or disease from the target.

Nature - CL 10; DC 20; Duration Instantaneous or Concentration; Range Close (50 ft); Talents None; Drawbacks None
- Geomancy (Fire)
Affect Fire: Concentration, requires fire. You may affect a normal, non-magical fire, increasing or decreasing its size by one category, plus one per 5 caster levels. This is only a temporary change; once the effect ends, the fire returns to its normal size. Reducing a fire smaller than Fine extinguishes it, in which case it does not return to normal size after the effect ends. The fire consumes fuel and deals damage as appropriate for its new size, according to Table: Maximum Fire Size. Creatures caught in the fire's area are allowed a Reflex save for half damage. The minimum caster level required to affect a fire is also given in the chart. If two casters are affecting the same fire in the same direction (increasing or decreasing) only the strongest change occurs. If two casters attempt to Affect Fire in opposite directions (one making it bigger, one making it smaller), the second caster must succeed at a magic skill check. On a success, their ability functions normally, overlapping the first caster’s effect. The fire counts as its altered size for determining if the second caster can affect it.

Ril's current largest size fire she can affect is Large (10' square, 4d6 damage), and she can swing a fire's size by 3 size categories.

Create Fire: Concentration, no requirements. You may produce a Diminutive-sized magical fire that burns without fuel. This fire may be 1 size category larger per 5 caster levels, and may be used to ignite flammable materials to create self-sustaining, non-magical fire. If a target is within the area of the created fire, they suffer damage as normal for that fire’s size and catch fire. A successful Reflex save halves the damage and negates catching fire.

Protection - CL 10; DC 20; Duration 1 hour/CL; Range Touch; Talents Ablating, Deathless; Drawbacks Limited Protection (Aegis)
- Aegis
Ablating: You may create an aegis that has a chance of negating attacks against the protected creature. When created, the aegis has an ablation rate of 20% + 5% for every 3 caster levels, maximum 50% (current value: 35%). The aegis acts as a miss chance equal to its ablation rate against attacks, and whenever the protected creature is missed due to miss chance, its ablation rate drops by 5%. When the ablation rate becomes equal to or less than 0, the aegis ends, even if the duration has not yet expired. If the character has a miss chance from another source, only the highest miss chance applies, and the aegis is only reduced if its ablation rate is higher than all other miss chances.
Deflection: +3 deflection bonus to AC (1 + 1/5 CL)
Deathless: This grants the subject a +4 morale bonus to saving throws against all death spells, Death sphere abilities, channeled negative energy, and other magical death effects, as well as harmful effects originating from healing spells, Life sphere abilities, channeled positive energy, and other magical healing effects. The subject is granted a Will save to negate these effects even if one is not normally allowed.

Magical tattoos are difficult to destroy, though they count as magic items for the purposes of dispel magic. The spell erase can permanently destroy a magical tattoo, but the bearer of the tattoo can resist the spell with a Will save, in addition to the caster needing to make a successful caster level check to erase the tattoo. Physically removing a magical tattoo with a sharp instrument or defacing it with fire or acid can destroy it as well. Doing so is a full-round action that not only requires the target to be willing or helpless, but also provokes attacks of opportunity. At least 2 points of damage per caster level of the tattoo must be dealt to destroy a magical tattoo in this manner.

Magical tattoos follow the rules for magic item creation as though they were wondrous items, except that they can use the Craft (calligraphy, paintings, tattoos) skill. New magical tattoos can be researched and designed using the guidelines for pricing new magic items. Magical tattoos are treated as slotless magical items for pricing purposes.
