About Zithembe of the Six PathsPFS Information:
PFS #: 230524-37 Experience: 16 Fame: 29 Prestige: 23 Favored Class Bonuses: +5 skills, +1 HP Appearance:
Zithembe is a tall (6’ 3”) jade statue carved in the image of the idealized male physique (210 lbs) and inlaid with copper, gold, and silver celestial glyphs. He is hairless, and his eyes are solid copper orbs. However, he moves fluidly and gracefully, and his body, though cool to the touch, is as soft and supple as true skin. He is dressed in a loose, billowy shirts and shendyt kilts with bright, colorful patterns. Background:
The shabti who would become Zithembe spend untold centuries suffering in the pits of the Abyss, believing that he was repaying a deal that he had made and yet more untold centuries suffering after he gained self-awareness until a nosoi found him and brought him to a yamaraj in the court of the Shepherd, who freed him from his creator’s punishment. He spent a century in the city of Axis, contemplating what it meant to be himself. He chose the Garundi name Zithembe and then chose to enter the Material Plane. He began his exploration of the world in the land of his creation--ancient Holomog--and worked his way northward. He met the shaitan, Third Rent, while in Osirion. The shaitan introduced him to the Rivethun philosophy and directed him toward the city of Absolam, Shardra Geltl, Sorriana Westyr, and the Pathfinder Society. Zithembe of the Six Paths

Magical Knack (Magic): +2 caster level in Medium class Voices in Your Head (Social): 1/day - immediate - allows the creature to immediately reroll on the confused condition table on page 566 of the Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook, and you can pick which of the two actions—the action of its initial roll or that of the reroll—the creature takes. Confused creatures do not need to understand you for this trait to take effect. Languages: Taldane (common), Celestial, Ancient Osirani*, Abyssal*, Infernal* EQUIPMENT
Wrangle Condition (Su):
He can attempt a Diplomacy check to persuade the condition’s spirit to leave. Conditions he can affect are ranked from minor to dire, with each category having an accompanying Diplomacy DC (see below). He cannot take 10 or 20 on the check or receive aid from any creature except a shaman. Failure by 5 or less means the condition spirit is willing to leave the target and transfer to him for the rest of the duration or until cured; this happens only if he is willing. Failure by 10 or more means that not only is the target inflicted with the condition, but he is as well (whether or not he is willing) for the remaining duration or until cured.
Minor Conditions (DC 15): Fatigued, shaken, and sickened.
He can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 1/2 his shaman level + his At 5th level, he can use this ability to exorcize minor conditions without needing to attempt a Diplomacy check. He can dispatch major conditions without a roll at 9th level, severe conditions at 13th level, and dire conditions at 17th level. Doing so still requires one use of this ability per condition. ____________________ CHRONICLES ____________________ 1. PSF RPG Gen Con 2017 Auction Boon #1:
Eternal Afterlife: You are the creation of a wealthy individual hoping to escape the afterlife’s judgement, though you’ve been freed from this fate and allowed to wander the cosmos as you please. You may play a shabti character (Pathfinder #84 90, Pathfinder RPG Bestiary 5 227), beginning at level 1 as normal. 2. Pathfinder Module: Gallows of Madness (A Foul Breed) (GM, Slow):
Dependable Drummandy’s: Drummandy Laterna crafts you a pair of sturdy, perfectly fitting shoes accented with precious metals worth 100 gp.

These shoes count as jewelry for the purposes of accessorizing a courtier’s or noble’s outfit. Gunty’s Hearty Breads: You begin each adventure with 4 trail rations. Petrello’s Haberdashery: He gives you a courtier’s outfit and a noble’s outfit.

Pathfinder Module: Gallows of Madness (What Lurks in the Woods) (GM, Slow):
Courageous Recruit: N/A [_] Goblin Slayer: You may check off the box before this boon to gain a +1 bonus on Bluff, Knowledge, Sense Motive, and Survival checks against creatures with the goblinoid subtype, as well as a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls against them.

[_][_] Repurposed Trap: So long as you carry a jar of bottled brown mold with you, you gain the benefits of endure elements in hot environments and take a -2 penalty on saving throws against environmental cold. Check one of the boxes that precede this boon to throw a jar at a square as a ranged attack roll against an AC of 5 (range increment 10 feet). If you miss, use the rules for missing with a thrown splash weapon to determine where the jar lands. When the jar hits the ground, it splits open, filling the square with brown mold. The mold deals 2d6 points of non-lethal cold damage per round to anyone in its square. Unlike typical brown mold, it does not expand when fire is nearby.

Your bonus on the check is equal to 3 plus your number of GM stars and is modified by no other modifiers (including armor check penalty, ability modifiers, etc.).

Explore, Report, Cooperate: As a free or immediate action, you may consider whether a particular action you name--such as subduing but not killing an enemy, befriending an NPC, or recovering a particular item--would help realize the goals of the Pathfinder Society. Once you use this boon, cross it off your chronicle sheet. Friend of Janira Gavix: She helps you perform research, granting you a +1 bonus on Knowledge checks attempted while you are in the Grand Lodge. 8. 7-05: School of Spirits:
9. 8-16: House of Harmonious Wisdom:
Legacy of a Princess: You have discovered the lost Summer Palace and interacted with the phantom of Song Rui, one of the last princesses of Imperial Lung Wa. You may call upon Song Rui’s dedication as a swift action that lasts for 1 minute. During this time, the first time you hit a creature with a melee attack each round, you gain a +2 bonus to your AC against that creature until the beginning of your next turn. When you use this boon, cross it off your Chronicle sheet. [_] [_] [_] Sun Shogun Talismans: The Sun Shogun makes available to you certain magical talismans normally available only to his trusted agents. You may purchase a talisman of freedom (900 gp), talisman of good fortune (1,680 gp), or talisman of warrior’s courage (450 gp). When you purchase a talisman in this way, note that it is a Sun Shogun talisman and mark off one box. Sun Shogun talismans function as normal except that you may, as an immediate action, prevent a talisman from activating when it would otherwise do so, allowing you to save its magic for later. When you have purchased a total of 3 Sun Shogun talismans of any type, cross this boon off your Chronicle sheet. 10. 8-99D: The Solstice Scar (Version D) (GM Credit - Subtier 3-4):
[_] [_] [_] Blood and Courage: As long as your current hit point total is less than half your maximum hit points, you gain a +2 bonus on Intimidate checks against evil creatures and a +2 bonus on saving throws against fear. While benefiting from these bonuses, you can check one box that precedes this boon to demoralize all evil creatures in a 15-foot cone as a standard action. [_] Empyreal Revenant: Nothing can keep you from achieving your goal. Within 3 rounds of dying, you can check the box that precedes this boon to begin slowly recovering, fueled by a combination of personal determination and supernatural vigor. During this time, you cannot be turned into an undead creature. After 1 minute, you are restored to life per raise dead with half your maximum hit points, gaining no negative levels in the process. If you died as a result of ability damage or drain, you either remove 8 points of that ability damage or remove enough ability drain to return that ability score to 8 (though no higher than your original ability score value). If you died as a result of negative levels, you remove a number of temporary negative levels equal to half your level (rounded up). At the end of the adventure, your relentless grip on life fails, your body collapses, and you die; this death is not the result of hit point loss and cannot be reversed by effects such as breath of life. The cost of any spellcasting service to restore you to life at the end of that adventure is reduced by 3 Prestige Points. If a PC casts a spell to restore you to life at the end of the adventure, instead reduce the material component cost by 1,000 gp. [_] Martyr’s Shard 4: As a free action, you can check the box that precedes this boon to grant one weapon you wield a +1 enhancement bonus (which does not stack with other enhancement bonuses), and it grants you a +1 bonus on caster level checks to overcome the spell resistance of evil creatures for 1 minute. During this time, attacks with this weapon also ignore the first 5 points of undead creatures’ damage reduction. Any character with this boon can purchase an avenging dagger (120,604 gp; functions as a holy avenger but a dagger rather than a longsword) as though her effective Fame score were 10 higher. 10. 9-12: Shrine of the Sacred Tempest:
Zepha’s Blessing: You can cross this boon off of your Chronicle sheet to grant an ally that you can see a +2 sacred bonus on any d20 roll before she rolls it. 11. 9-06: The Shores of Heaven:

Word spreads of how you defied the will of a demigod, and as a result, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus on all Diplomacy and Intimidate checks made against natives of the Plane of Air. In addition, your time on the Plane of Air has granted you some means of control over its natural powers. Once per adventure, you can check a box that precedes this boon to cast gust of wind as a spell-like ability (CL 6th). If you have two or more Air Affinity boons, you can instead cast wind wall (CL 8th). If you have three or more Air Affinity boons, you can instead choose to cast wind walk (CL 10th). +1332 gp -1000 gp; add Cloak of Resistance +1 20. 10-98: Siege of Gallowspire (GM, Slow):
