About Yvra Brunhasson
Background:
Yvra hatched within the sprawling kobold warrens of the Embermaw Clan, deep below the Mindspin Mountains. He was a scrawnier hatchling than most, but his wits were sharp, and he showed an early gift for crafting traps, which attracted the interest of Trapmaker Nelnak. Noone in the warren was exactly happy with their lot--it didn’t even occur to Yvra that that might be a goal a kobold might aspire to--but he was largely content to study with the Trapmaster, and he questioned little about the short, bloody lives of those around him, until one day in his mid-adolescence.
A band of meddlesome dwarven miners had made their way into the snarl of the Embermaw Clan…and naturally were trapped in one of Nelnak’s cunning snares. They imprisoned the dwarves while the chieftain and warleader argued about whether to execute them or ransome them. The argument lasted all night and into the morning, and Yvra stood guard, morbidly curious about the odd, scaleless outsiders.
As fate would have it, the first of the dwarves to return to consciousness was Brunha, sworn cleric of Folgrit. Brunha recognized that Yvra was little more than a child, and spoke kindly to him. She drew him in with tales of things Yvra hadn’t previously considered: family and kindness. When Brunha’s companions awakened they started to grumble and one threw an insult at the scrawny kobold, but Brunha hushed them with a glare. She declared Yvra to be an orphan, and so a responsibility of Folgrit, the Mother of All Orphans. The more Brunha talked, the more Yvra began to fantasize about what it might be like to have parents (instead of being raised unaffectionately with every other hatchling), and whether this kindness that Brunha spoke of might be real. Eventually, Brunha persuaded Yvra to sneak their weapons back to them, and to help the dwarves escape…and take the starry-eyed hatchling with them, back to the dwarven Sky Citadel of Kraggodan.
Kraggodan already had small human and halfling populations (thanks in part to the open-mindedness of Prince Gorm Greathammer) but many felt a kobold--even a child--was a bridge too far. Fortunately Brunha was a respected cleric of Folgrit, and she brooked no argument. She adopted Yvra as her own son and--realizing how sharp a mind he had--arranged for him to study with their own scholars and engineers. Young Yvra had already mastered many of Trapmaster Nelnak’s most cunning kobold traps, and even found ways to improve on a few. By studying the ways of dwarven engineering and trapfinding, he found he was able to achieve things that neither culture could do on their own. His curiosity was broad, and Brunha ensured her adopted son was able to benefit from the wealth of scholarship available within Kraggodan, from alchemy to history to medicine.
For many years after coming of age, Yvra served his adopted community of Kraggodan, helping to keep protect the community from giants, evil fey, bulettes…and of course old members of the Embermaw clan that he had forsworn, in exchange for the comfort of Fogrit (and Brunha’s) love.
Alas, while dwarves live far longer than kobolds, they don’t live forever. Brunha recently died in a flame drake attack. While Kraggodan is the only home Brunha has known…it’s halls are also a reminder of his adopted mother, and how much Yvra misses her. He’s ready to branch out and seek his fortune elsewhere, and is looking for others who might put his mastery of stealth, traps, healing, and general scholarship to good use.

Alchemy: Instant Foam (20’ radius, 10’ range incr, 24* HP, 3* min) Craft DC 15 (+10 → +5 HP & +1 min). The foam fills an area with a radius of 10 feet + 5 feet per 5 ranks in Craft (alchemy) with semi-solid foam. A 5-foot block of foam possesses a break DC equal to your Alchemy sphere DC and has a number of hit points equal to your ranks in Craft (alchemy). A creature may attempt to move through the foam during their turn, requiring a successful break attempt for every 5 feet they pass through. On a failed break attempt they can no longer move through the foam and their movement ends. Creatures in the radius are allowed a Reflex save to be pushed to a square at the edge of the radius to avoid entrapment. Creatures that fail their Reflex save may attack the foam or try other means of escape as described above. Serves a cushioning function preventing 15 feet of fall damage for every 5 feet of foam exists between the ground and the point where the falling individual touches the foam. This foam is porous to oxygen, and cannot be used to suffocate a creature, and too light to deal damage as a falling object. The foam dissipates on its own after 1 minute. You can increase the Craft DC of this item in increments of 10; each time you do so, each 5-foot square of foam gains 5 additional hit points, and lasts for an additional minute.
Alchemy: Improved Acid Flask 8d6 Craft DC 15 (+10 → +5’ radius). Splash weapon, ranged touch attack, range increment of 10 ft., dealing 1d6 acid damage +1d6 per two Craft (alchemy) ranks you possess to the target of a direct hit, half that damage to targets 5 ft. away from the point of contact, and 1 point of acid splash damage per die of damage this weapon deals on a direct hit to targets 10 ft. away from the point of contact (to a maximum of half the damage dealt to the primary target). Targets who take at least 2 points of acid damage from the initial attack take half the total damage again on the following round.
Alchemy: Improved Tanglefoot Bag Craft DC 25 (+10 → +5’ radius). Ranged touch attack causes creatures in radius to be entangled (Ref partial). Entangled creature takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity and must make a Reflex save or be glued to the floor, unable to move. Even on a successful save, it can move only at half speed. A flying creature is not stuck to the floor, but it must make a Reflex save or be unable to fly (assuming it uses its wings to fly) and fall to the ground. Improved tanglefoot bags do not function underwater.

Scout: Active Camouflage Reduce snipe Stealth penalty -10.

Scout: Vanish While martially focused, hide with Stealth even while observed
Scout: Walk Unseen While martially focused, ending turn without cover or concealment does not break stealth (only 1 rd in a row)
Sniper: Deadly Shot +5d10 (or +5d6 vs Touch, or scatter) Add a (snipe) talent to a ranged attack action; may spend martial focus to add additional damage
Sniper: Focusing Reload Regain martial focus when you spend a move action or greater reloading a weapon
Sniper: Retaliating Fire (Stance) When missed with a ranged attack, may make an AoO at the attacker
Trap Sphere (Save DC 25, Perceive DC 42, to destroy: AC 24, hardness 14, HP 40) Trap: Combined Traps By increasing prep time and DC, you may apply two dart/snare talents to a trap
Trap: Dart 8d6 (+22 to hit, 60’ range) Trap fires a dart in a preset direction, dealing piercing damage or effects of an splash weapon, potion, or alchemical item
Trap: Bear Trap Reflex save to avoid this snare may not move from its current location unless it succeeds on a Strength or Escape Artist check against the trap’s DC or destroys the trap via damage. The affected creature also takes 1 bleed damage for every 8 ranks in Craft (traps) you possess
Trap: Persistent Trap Spend 1 minute placing trap to increase its duration to 10 min/point over placement DC
Trap: Rapid Placement Expend martial focus to decrease trap placement time by 1 step
Trap: Razor Wire 8d6 When you place the tripwire snare, you may choose to have it deal 1d6 slashing damage + 1d6 at 3 ranks in Craft (traps) and every 2 ranks thereafter to the triggering creature. Alchemical items cannot be added to this snare.
Trap: Thaumic Sink (16 rounds) When used with a dart trap, a creature that is struck by your dart becomes affected as if he were inside of an antimagic field, as per the spell. This effect persists for 1 round per rank in Craft (traps) you possess or until a full-round action is spent removing the dart. A dart may be removed as a standard action, but doing so inflicts damage equal to the dart’s minimum damage. When used with a snare trap, a 10-ft. radius around the triggering square is covered in an antimagic field per the spell. This effect persists for 1 round per rank in Craft (traps) you possess. An antimagic field suppresses any spell or magical effect used within, brought into, or cast into the area, but does not dispel it. Time spent within an antimagic field counts against the suppressed spell’s duration. Summoned creatures of any type wink out if they enter an antimagic field. They reappear in the same spot once the field goes away.
Trap: Trap Finder +4 Can use Disable Device to disarm magic traps. In addition, you gain a +1 competence bonus to Perception checks to locate traps and to Disable Device checks, increasing by +1 for every 4 ranks in Craft (traps) you possess.
Trap: Trap Launcher as a (snipe) talent, add +10 DC to create a trap and attach it to bolt, as part of the attack action. If the shot hits, the target gets a Reflex save, as normal vs the trap.
