AMITOK SHAMAN



"IT IS TABOO!"

At some point in the dim past your ancestors were turned away from the Goblinoid pantheon to that of Cryonax. Even you, his priesthood do not know the details (which were easily enough lost given that you have no written language).

Just about Amitok with Cleric levels will do.

PLAYING AN AMITOK SHAMAN
You are the man. You rule by divine right, and no one so much as says boo to you. You also grovel before the Archomental and his servants, but that's in private...
Combat: Unlike most priests you relish combat. You're pretty much built for it.
Advancement: You do as Cryonax demands, you have no other choice.
Resources: You can demand anything you want of the tribe, not that it matters much. Cryonax may occasionally loan you aid.

AMITOK SHAMANS IN THE WORLD
"There's Grunt again. Staring of into the snow talking to himself."
You live in an ivory tower (well, more like an icy cave really...) and only descend from on high to make pronouncements from Cryonax.
Daily Life: Much of your life is spent waiting for your god to tell you what to do next, or doing whatever he ordered last time.
Notables:
Organizations: You work for Cryonax, and no distractions are allowed. Not that there's much in the way of distractions for a tribal shaman whose people are just barely at the stone age.

NPC Reaction
This is an in detail description of how NPC's would perceive your class and the immediate generalization that people would give of your class.

AMITOK SHAMANS IN THE GAME
This PrC assumes one of the PC's is a catspaw of an Archomental. This may not bode well for party unity depending on whatver the others play.
Adaptation: This is meant for an all evil party obviously.
Encounters: PC's will generally see Amitok Shamans when they encounter their tribes in any numbers.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: Th PC's round a corner in the arctic wastes and see a huge group of furry mouth-frothers taking on a White Dragon. The PC's quickly reverse course.

REDEEMER



“People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us... It's people who claim that they're good, or any way better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of.”

Redeemers are Half-Goblins dedicated to fighting Evil, particularly Evil Humanoids. But they fight in less of a "kill em all and let the Gods sort em out" aense, and more from a sincere belief that anyone can be reformed given enough time.

BECOMING A REDEEMER
A Half-Goblin Fighter will do.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Race: Half-Goblin
Class Abilities: Armored Versatility
Feats: Devout, Redeemer, Weapon Focus


Class Skills
The Redeemer's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (geography) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), and Use Rope (Dex).
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int

Hit Dice: d8

   BAB  Fort    Ref    Will  Abilities
1. +1    +2     +0     +0    Foe of Evil +4

9. +9    +6     +3     +3    Harrier
10.+10   +7     +3     +3   Foe of Evil +10

Weapon Proficiencies: A Redeemer gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Foe of Evil (Ex): Your Bonuses from the Redeemer, Devout, and Partisan Feats increase to +4 against Evil opponents only. They increase again at 4th Level (+6), 7th Level (+8), and 10th Level (+10).

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

Harrier (Ex): Choose one weapon you have the Weapon Focus Feat for. The critical threat range for that weapon improves by 1 against Evil foes (i.e. if it normally criticals on a natural 20, it now does so on a critical 19-20).

At 6th Level the critical threat range increases by 2 (i.e. now would critical on an 18-20), and by 9th level it increases by 3 (17-20).

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

Superior Uncanny Dodge (Ex): You do not lose your Dexterity Bonus to AC, and are immune to being flanked.

PLAYING A REDEEMER
You work to save the Goblinoids from themselves, and from their evil gods most of all. You feel certain if you could turn the races from Maglubiyet you could bring them around to a better life.
Combat: You are dedicated to fighting Evil. It is literally your life's work.
Advancement: Your advancement is largely left to the winds of chance. You train in whats available, when it's needed.
Resources: Unless you can find a fairly liberal patron, you're reduced to whatever scraps you can find.

REDEEMERS IN THE WORLD
"HEY (beeeeeeeep)!"
Redeemers are always the focus of controversy. Goblins and other primarily evil humanoids see you as opponents trying to bring down their religion. Other humanoid see you as apologists for those races because you insist not all of them are Evil. And then there's the racists. It's like some days when you just can't win.
Daily Life: Your days are busy. There's barely even enough time for training.
Notables:
Organizations: The Redeemers are a social organization attempting to become something like an Order of Knights. Their focus is on social justice and stopping both bigotry, and the excesses of the Goblinoid religion that presses for war.

NPC Reaction
You're the low guy on the totem pole no matter where you go. The Goblins hate you, the non-Goblins hate you. Any day you aren't the target of a mob is a good day.

REDEEMERS IN THE GAME
This class assumes the PC is a member of a hated minority, which may be triggery for some.
Adaptation: This assumes Goblins are evil, and are prolific enough to have mixed race children. Your campaign may not fit thiis.
Encounters: Redeemers are encountered where ever Goblins or anti-goblinoid prejudice occur.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's encounter a group of Goblins fighting some sort of warrior, and intervene on his half. Turns out he's somewhat Goblin-ish himeslf.

The Orughi are an offshoot of Ogres dwelling on remote islands north of Ansalon. They are much shorter than most Ogres being as tall as tall humans, with oily grey skin and golden hair. Their webbed hands and feet make them very capable swimmers. They have no official government with the eldest males of each family jointly ruling the tribe. They worship Zeboim, and an easy way to tell if a village of crude wooden shacks belongs to the Orughi are the stone towers they build to honor her.

Hold Breath (Ex): An Orughi can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 10 × its Constitution score before it risks drowning.

Combat: The Orguhi prefer to lure opponents into the sea or fight from a distance with their Tonkks. They are also fond of daggers and battle axes.

ORUGHI CHARACTERS
Like most Ogre variants, the Orughi are meant for melee. They can be Wisdom based casters, but their Hit Dice and racial LA make this very sub-optimal.
Adventuring Race: Orughi generally only leave their homes when ordered by the Nzunta or their goddess.
Character Development: Orughi are meant for underwater combat, so you may as well specialize in that if it's a sea going campaign.
Character Names:

ROLEPLAYING AN ORUGHI
You look down on other races because you make slaves of them, despite being slaves yourselves. The Nzunta can be cruel to you, and you visit their cruelty a thousand fold upon others.
Personality: You pretty much do your best to live up to every bad stereotype of the Ogre race.
Behaviors: You much prefer to spend your time hunting and fishing to any other activities.
Language: Orughi speak their own dialect of the Giant language.

ORUGHI SOCIETY
The Orughi are barely outside of the stone age other than metal working. They live in crude wooden shacks and sink any ships that pass close to their homes.
Alignment : Due to their religion and dire past, the Orughi are almost universally Chaotic Evil.
Lands : The Orughi live on remote islands to the north of Ansalon.
Settlements : The Orughi do not settle.
Beliefs : Zeboim is the deity of choice for the Orughi.
Relations: Orughi see the other races as slaves or enemies for the most part.

ORUGHI ADVENTURES
· Your master wants you to harass some seaside towns in Ansalon. To serve as a distraction for whatever he is doing.
· An Aboleth has taken residence, and you have been told to move him along.
·A ship wrecks on your coastline during a hurricane, and unfortunately it has murderhobos...



Tonkk (Exotic Weapon)
Cost: 50 GP
Damage (M): If you succeed in a ranged attack roll you entangle an opponent. An entangled creature takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls and a -4 penalty to Dexterity. Huge or larger creatures are unaffected by a Tonnk. A flying creature must make a DC 15 Reflex save or be unable to fly (assuming it uses its wings to fly) and fall to the ground. A Tonnk does not function underwater. Each round the victim can make a DC 17 Str Check to free itself. Until it does, the Orughi can make an Opposed Str Check eash round. If it succeeds it pulls the entangled opponent 10 ft. closer to itself.
Critical: n/a
Range Increment: 20 ft. (max range is 50 ft.)
Weight: 10 lbs.
Type: n/a

Orughi Racial Substitution Levels

Fighter
Any even numbered Level: You may take a Racial Feat instead of a Fighter Feat at even numbered Levels.

Barbarian
Level 1: Fast Movement can be either your land or swim speed.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Nzunta Footsoldier gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Aquatic Warrior (Ex): At 1st Level you gain the Aquatic Subtype, but remain capable of breathing air. At 4th Level you gain Blindsense with a 30 foot radius when under water. At 7th Level your attacks no longer take the -2 penalty for being used underwater.

Tonkk Warfare (Ex): At Levels 2, 5 and 8 you may choose one of the following Bonus Feats: Able Sniper, Brutal Throw, Far Shot, Greater Weapon Focus (Tonkk), Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, Ranged Disarm, Weapon Focus (Tonkk).

Blessings of Zeboim: At Levels 3, 6 and 9 you gain one of the Blessings of Zeboim from the following list:

Aboleth's Tentacles (Ex): (Prerequisite: 9th Level) The Footsoldier gains two additional tentacle attacks with a Full Attack that do 1d6 plus half Str damage. Opponent who are successfully struck by these tentacles must make a Fortitude Save (Save DC is Con based) or be unable to breathe for 1d6 rounds (see drowning rules in DMG).

Amphi-Dragon's Breath (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds the Footsoldier can breathe a 60 foot line of Acid doing 5d6 damage (Reflex save for half damage, Save DC is Con based).

Dragon's Fear (Ex): When the Footsoldier attacks or charges all living creatures within 30 ft. must wake a Willpower Save (Save DC is Cha based), or become Shaken for 2d4 rounds. If the Save is successful, that opponent is immune to this Footsoldier's Frightful Presence for 24 hours.

Imp's Cold (Ex): A Footsoldier’s body generates intense cold, causing opponents to take an extra 1d4 points of
cold damage every time it succeeds with an Unarmed strike, grapple or natural attack. Creatures attacking a Footsoldier unarmed or with natural weapons take this same cold damage each time one of their attacks hits.

Kalothagh Spines (Ex): Any creatures within 5 feet of a Footsoldier must succeed at a Reflex save each round or take 1d6 piercing damage. The save DC is Dexterity-based. Any creature hurt by a Footsoldier’s spines through this method or its attack must succeed at a Reflex save, or the barbed spines will hook in the creature’s flesh, causing the spine to detach from the Footsoldier. Removing the spines results in another 1d4 points of damage. A Footsoldier is assumed to have 2d8+16 spines at any given time. It takes one week for its spines to grow back.

Magori's Blood (Ex): Whenever an opponent within 5 feet of the Footsoldier deals damage to it with a slashing or piercing
weapon, he must make a DC Reflex save or take 2d4 points of acid damage as the Footsoldier’s blood splatters him. Success
negates all damage. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Veteran: So long as you are touching the sea you are immune to critical hits.

PLAYING A NZUNTA FOOTSOLDIER
The Nzunta are Gods, the true rulers of the world. You were born to serve them, and they will reward you when the world is theirs again.
Combat: You try to lure opponents into the water where they are more vulnerable. You're also fond of ambushing ships, pulling sailors off the decks.
Advancement: How you advance depends entirely on your masters.
Resources: You have what you can steal or what the Nzunta give you.

NZUNTA FOOTSOLDIERS IN THE WORLD
"If you see tall stone towers on an island, give it a wide berth."
As far as the world knows the Orughi are marauding brutes, much like any other. No one suspects your hidden masters.
Daily Life: Much of your day is spent hunting and fishing unless your masters need you. Or a ship sails too close.
Notables:
Organizations: Being servants of the Nzunta, you pretty much aren't allowed to have other ties.

NPC Reaction
You're a monster, NPC's treat you much like any other monster.

NZUNTA FOOTSOLDIERS IN THE GAME
This assumes the PC is the servant of an evil empire hellbent on world domination (or at least they consider themselves that). Might be best as an NPC class.
Adaptation: This is meant for Evil Campaigns set in the oceans of the Forgotten Realms.
Encounters: The Orughi and their masters only exist on remote islands north of Ansalon.

Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's run aground in a horrible storm. The superstitious crew is terrified of the stone towers on the island. Turns out they have reason to be.

Jagre are high level Jaguar Knights loyal to the God of war Zaltec. As a reward they have been changed into 16' tall Ogre-like monstrosities bearing the mark of the Viperhand on their chests. Normally armed with clubs or macas, they wear the enchanted hides of Displacer Beasts as Armor.

Displacer Beast Armor: All Jagre are given a set of +1 Hide armor. Some go so far as to endure rituals bonding this armor to their skin making it impossible to remove. A Jagre wearing it may change into a Displacer Beast at will (this ability only works for the Jagre). This works exactly like Alternate Form with the following exceptions: It gains all the Special Qualities of it's Displacer Beast Form, and it still gains the Armor Bonus from it's armor.

Combat: Jagre are equally divided between those who enjoy attacking as beasts, and those who like beating opponents to death with weapons. They generally aren't subtle.

Character Development: You'll be fighting a lot as a Displacer Beast, so it may help to specialize in fighting in doing so.

ROLEPLAYING A JAGRE
You're in charge, and it shows. Especially when someone is foolish enough to tell you no. Being refused tends to send you into homicidal rages.

Behaviors: Jagre's are obsessed with both hunting and control. Particularly control. They are also pushing the expansion of their kind.
Language: Jagre speak Giant, and most speak Common as well.

JAGRE SOCIETY
Jagre are the leaders of Nexal, and all must obey them other than Hoxitl and the Beast Leaders.
Alignment : All Jagre are Evil, and most are Chaotic as well.
Lands : All known Jagre live in the Valley of Nexal.
Settlements : See above.
Beliefs : All Jagres worship Zaltec.
Relations: Jagre are carnivores who prefer Humanoid meat, so they aren't well liked. Except by Ogres and the Viperhand (Ogres and Jagres breed Jagres, so there is some alliance there).

JAGRE ADVENTURES

• [li]Someone is killing the agents of the Viperhand, and you have been tasked with stopping it.[/li]
  [li]Someone is deliberately targeting Jagre children, and you have been chosen to stop it.[/li]
  [li]Things have been odd since a comet passed recently. The human slaves have been acting oddly, and in concert. You'd swear they were possessed.[/li]

Jagre Racial Substitution Levels

Encounters: The Tlatoani are rarely found outside the Valley on Nexal.

Sample Encounter
EL 15: The PC's are hired by a sketchy looking Orc to guard his Lords property, which turns out to be human. Can they rescue the slaves without being found out?

ASKAR



"I will not hear you speak about my home in this manner!"

Askars are the default civilized warrior in Al-Qadim. They serve as city and caravan guards and the personal guard of the nobility. They are urbane, literate and in a good position to become rulers themselves someday. Their one flaw is a tendency towards chauvinism and nationalism. Even in their country of origin they tend to believe their particular city is the best the country has to offer.

BECOMING AN ASKAR
Just about any Fighter qualifies easily.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Special: Cannot be illiterate
Feats: Weapon Focus (Scimitar or Spear), Weapon Specialization (Scimitar or Spear), any other Fighter Feat

PLAYING AN ASKAR
Your town is the best town. You know it's the best town because it's yours. And everyone else is nothing by way of comparison. Sure, your town might be a dirt farm, but it's a very moral, upstanding dirt farm.
Combat: You tend to be a bog standard guardsman. Combat tends to be infrequent, but quite desperate when it does. Staying alert is your friend.
Advancement: Your advancement depends on the needs of your city.
Resources: Most Askars enjoy the patronage of the city, so depending on how stingy the locals are you can usually enjoy things like discounts from the local merchants.

ASKAR IN THE WORLD
"Do not discuss politics with the guards..."
Askars can sometimes be local celebrities, and even the ones who aren't are still 'local boys'. At least to the locals. The worst Askar can be violent bigots who bring shame to the profession.
Daily Life: Generally you spend your days guarding something or someone. With luck there are no raids on your shift.
Notables:
Organizations: All Askar belong to their local army or militia, and many belong to Merchants Guilds or other civic associations.

NPC Reaction
Locals love you. Outsiders...not so much.

ASKAR IN THE GAME
This assumes you're a local guard, which may be difficult to craft adventures in which you aren't traveling on behalf of the town or it's inhabitants.
Adaptation: This is meant for Al-Qadim, but can be used as a generic local militia PrC.
Encounters: PC's will generally see Askar when entering their city or any important location within it. They might also be guarding merchants or nobles who are traveling.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are entering a town for supplies, and are halted by the local guards

Weapon Proficiencies: A Wrecker gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Clubmaker (Ex): Your ability to uproot trees from the ground means you are rarely without a weapon on your island home. If necessary the Wrecker can uproot a tree as a Full Round Action. It must make a Str Check whose DC depends on the size of the tree: 20 for Medium, 25 for Large, 30 for Huge. They may wield these trees as clubs, with damage varying based on size: Medium is 2d6 plus Str (one handed), Large is 3d6 plus Str (one handed), Huge is 4d6 plus one and a half times Str (two handed). They may also throw theses trees, with a Range Increment of 30'.

At 4th Level they do one additional die of damage with these improvised clubs.

At 7th Level they do another additional die of damage with their clubs.

Stonethrower (Ex): You have excelled in your rock throwing abilities, especially distance. At 2nd Level you do one additional die of damage, and the range of your thrown rocks increases by +20 ft.

At 5th Level your thrown rocks do one more additional die of damage, and their range increases an additional +20 ft.

At 8th Level your thrown rocks do one more additional die of damage, and their range increases an additional +30 ft.

Shipwrecker (Ex): At 3rd Level your thrown rocks ignore the Hardness rating of target vehicles.

At 6th Level a submerged Wrecker that surfaces under a boat or ship less than 20 feet long capsizes the vessel 95% of the time. It has a 50% chance to capsize a vessel from 20 to 60 feet long and a 20% chance to capsize one over 60 feet long.

At 9th Level the chances of capsizing a vessel increase to 100% if it's 20 ft. or less, 60% for a vessel from 20 to 60 ft. long, and 30% for vessels over 60 ft. long.

Master of Violence (Ex): At 10th Level you may reroll any damage dice that roll a 2 or less.

PLAYING A WRECKER
You love wrecking ships. Just love it. You actually get super depressed if you go any length of time without killing people. Yeah technically you're the islands main defense, but you're a very...proactive defense.
Combat: Combat for you generally consists of shrinking ships with boulders, waiting for the crew to swim to shore, and then beating them to death.
Advancement: Most Wreckers are staggeringly similar. They are creatures with simple passions.
Resources: You only have the resources you can steal pretty much.

WRECKERS IN THE WORLD
"There's a reason no one visits the archipelago..."
You live on a deserted island in the middle of nowhere. You don't interact much with anything.
Daily Life: You're pretty much a sadistic whacko who scans the horizon for the opportunity to torture and kill people.
Notables:
Organizations: Island Giants aren't the organizing type.

NPC Reaction
No one likes Wreckers. Even their own kind.

WRECKERS IN THE GAME
This class is probably best for all Evil campaigns, considering as it's predicated on those taking it being a sadistic monster.
Adaptation: This is meant for Al-Qadim, but could easily be adopted to other settings.
Encounters: Wreckers occasionally hire out as mercs, but mostly they're only found on their island homes.

Sample Encounter
EL x:The PC's are on the lookout, guarding the merchant vessel they're on from pirates, when a huge boulder crashes through the hull. Gonna be one of them days.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Watcher gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Ambush (Ex): In any round in which the Watcher makes an attack against an opponent who is Flat-Footed or unaware of his presence he does +1d6 damage. He also gets this bonus to ranged attacks performed on any round in which he does not move. This extra damage increases by 1d6 at Levels 4 and 7.

The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage. The Watcher must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Watchers can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while ambushing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.

At 3rd level, the applicable range for your Ambush attack increases by +20', and it increases by another +20 ft. at Level 7.

A Watcher loses this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. If she gains the Ambush ability from another class, the bonuses stack.

Camouflage (Ex): Identical to the Ranger Ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

Hide in Plain Sight (Ex): Identical to the Ranger Ability of the same name listed in the PHB.

Veteran Watcher: At 10th Level the range of your Greater Hearing Feat increases 20 ft., and you no longer take Size Penalties to Hide Checks. Any Penalties you gain to Listen or Spot Checks due to range are lowered by 2.

PLAYING A WATCHER
People (well monsters usually) hire you as guards. Your entire purpose is to make sure outsiders don't get close to your charge.
Combat: You're the watchman who acts as an early warning system to the tribe/person who hired you. Speed and perception are at least as important as martial skill for you, as you prefer to attack from ambush.
Advancement: Most Watchers progress similarly. They have a pretty limited skillset.
Resources: You usually have a patron Orc or Ogre tribe. The lucky among you get jobs with less discriminating would be tyrants with money.

WATCHERS IN THE WORLD

'Keep yer eyes open, the local Giants are surprisingly good at hiding."
On duty you don't interact with the world at all, unless there are intruders or war is declared. Even off duty your personality drives others off.
Daily Life: Much of your day is spent on some lonely mountain in the middle of nowhere listening intently for trouble. In less boring times you scout for some rich guys army.
Notables:
Organizations: Most of you are hired by Orc or Ogre tribes. Some of the luckier Watchers become mercs for armies.

NPC Reaction
NPC's treat you like any other bloodthirsty monster. Which is what you are.

WATCHERS IN THE GAME
This assumes the PC is both a member of an Evil anthropophagous race, and hired to guard someone or something. Might get the PC's in a bit of a situation when they enter town...
Adaptation: This is a probably best for all Evil campaigns, but could be adapted to races of similar build and abilities.
Encounters: Watchers are generally found guarding Orc, Ogre or Fachan encampments, though on rare occasion other Evil beings will hire them.

Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's have been hired to help destroy a local Orc Warren. Something is killing of the Lords men en route to it, and he wants you to eliminate that something.

FACHAN CHARACTERS
Given your eaces average mental stats, you're better off going with being some sort of melee class.
Adventuring Race: Fachan usually adventure due to their religion, or because they have been exiled.
Character Development: Building your combat style around your poison attack is a good option, but you'll want a backup for immune foes if your DM likes to toss them at you.
Character Names: Most Fachan use Orc names.

ROLEPLAYING A FACHAN
You were chosen by Gruumsh. You know this because everyone tells you so. Granted, sometimes you wonder if you're doing Gruumsh's bidding or theirs...
Personality: Fachan are pretty much the boogey men of most civilized races. Even other Giant races and Orcs sometimes find the Fachan disturbing.
Behaviors: You spend a lot of time stalking, torturing and eating victims.
Language: Fachan speak Orc.

FACHAN SOCIETY
Fachan are swamp dwelling primitives that live in what look like over-sized beaver lodges.
Alignment : The Fachan are horribly cruel, and are almost universally Neutral Evil.
Lands : Fachan normally live in swamps, marshes and wetlands.
Settlements : Some Fachan have spread to the jungles of Chult.
Beliefs : Most Fachan worship Gruumsh or Vaprak.
Relations: With the exception of Orcs and Ogres, other races are considered food..

FACHAN ADVENTURES
· You are chosen to escort a caravan of Orcs trading goods with Ogres for Fachan children. As the travel continues your disquiet grows. Why do the Ogres have children of your kind? And the Orcs are hardly charitable so why trade goods for your people?
· You see Vaprak in a dream and he tells you that you are not the chosen of Gruumsh. He insists you are now his chosen. You aren't exactly eager to have this known and are skipping town.
· You wake up to discover you are now well over seven feet tall. And no one local can tell you why, so it's off to the swamp witch.

GRUUMSH-KIN



"If I'm so blessed by the God, why are you giving me orders?"

A Gruumsh-Kin is a Fachan raised by fanatical Orc cultists as a living weapon. Something they excel at so long as they don't realize they're being duped into participating in the religion of another species when by rights they should have Vaprak as a God.

BECOMING A GRUUMSH-KIN
Any Fachan accepted by the Cult of Gruumsh will do.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Race: Fachan
Class Ability: Favored Enemy (Humanoid), Improved Combat Style.
Skills: Hide (4 ranks), Move Silently (4 ranks)
Feats: Coiled Spring, Improved Hearing


Class Skills
The Gruumsh-Kin's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (religion) (Int), Knowledge (geography) (Int), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

10.+10   +7     +7     +3   A Giant's Strength, +1 Level of existing Divine casting class

Weapon Proficiencies: A Gruumsh-Kin gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Favored Enemy (Ex): This is identical to the Ranger Ability of the same name and stacks with it.

Eye of Gruumsh: At Levels 2, 5 and 8 you gain one spell to add to your spell list. At Level 2 you add True Strike. At Level 5 you add Locate Object, and at Level 8 you gain Clairvoyance/Clairaudience. You may only cast these spells if your Ranger Caster Level is sufficient to cast a spell of that Level. For example if you wish to cast True Strike you must be capable of casting 1st Level Ranger spells.

Gruumsh's Favor: At Level 3 you may choose one Domain of Gruumsh, and add it's spells yo your Ranger spell list. You may choose an additional Domain at Levels 6 and 9.

A Giant's Strength (Su): Your physical stature lets you function in many ways as if you were two size categories larger. Whenever you are subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for an opposed check (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), you are treated as two sizes larger if doing so is advantageous to you. However, your space and reach remain those of a creature of your actual size. You also gain a +2 Inherent Bonus to Strength and Constitution.

PLAYING A GRUUMSH-KIN
Your existence depends on not leaving any witnesses. So long as the world thinks of you as some semi-mythical orc assassin they won't come looking for the real thing. It helps that no one believes Orcs have the level of sophistication to pull off the things you do.
Combat: Gruumsh-Kin are ambush artists and assassins who rely on stealth. You have a few magical talents to back that up, but mostly you leap from the darkness and whack people upside the head.
Advancement: You develop whichever skills your masters direct you to.
Resources: You have whichever resources the Church chooses to give you.

GRUUMSH-KIN IN THE WORLD
"Lets hope he never realizes the truth."
Gruumsh-Kin are kept hidden from the world. Their handlers don't want them to have contact with the outside. If they realize they're cast 0ffs unwanted by their actual people and tricked into being the pet killers of zealots there may be hell to pay.
Daily Life: You are kept in a constant state of religious indoctrination and fear until you are set to murder people for the glory of Gruumsh.
Notables:
Organizations: With the exception of exiles or Gruumsh-Kin who flee after realizing the truth, only the Church of Gruumsh employs you.

NPC Reaction
You're an assassin, a violent religious zealot and a monster. Three things people want kept far from them.

GRUUMSH-KIN IN THE GAME
This assumes you are the catspaw of violent religious fanatics. Might not be comfortable for some players.
Adaptation: This is meant for all Evil Campaigns, but could be adapted for other God/Race combos.
Encounters: Gruumsh-Kin will be found wherever their Church sends them, usually as assassins.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are stuck in a swamp when a 3 foot tall whatsit jumps out of the bushes and demands they surrender. They are in no mood for these shenanigans.

Fachan Racial Feats

Improved Hearing
You can hear better than the average bat.
Prerequisites: Fachan
Benefits: The Check DC of your Listen Checks extends from +1 per 10 feet to +1 per 100 feet.


Greater Hearing
You even do well against invisible opponents.
Prerequisites: Fachan, Improved Hearing
Benefits: You can sense all foes within 40 feet as a sighted creature would. Beyond that range, you treat all targets as having total concealment.

You are susceptible to sound- and scent-based attacks, however, and are affected normally by loud noises and sonic spells (such as ghost sound or silence) and overpowering odors (such as stinking cloud or incense-heavy air). Negating your sense of smell or hearing reduces this ability to normal Blind-Fight (as the feat). If both these senses are negated, you are effectively blinded.


Coiled Spring
You are very agile.
Prerequisites: Fachan, Jump (4 ranks)
Benefits: You do not take Penalties for Jump Checks for not having a moving start. You may stand up from a Prone position as a Swift Action.


Swamp Native
You are adept at moving in your home terrain.
Prerequisites: Fachan, Knowledge (Nature) 4 ranks
Benefits: You do not take Movement or Tumble Penalties from Marsh Terrain.

Ogrima are cross-breeds between Ogres and Ogre Magi. They appear as blue-green or yellow Ogres with a rudimentary horn in their forehead. Hunted by Ogres who consider them competition, and by the Ogre Magi who prefer them as slaves, they are the ultimate outcasts. More social than most Ogres they have established their own communities since they breed true. Most wield two handed swords or clubs and a longbow. Alignment depends on which parental race they tend to most mentally resemble.

Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): 3/day: Blur, Chill Touch, Levitate. 1/day: Disguise Self.

Regeneration (Ex): Fire and acid deal normal damage to Ogrima. If an Ogrima loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.

Combat: Ogrima don't rely much on their Spell-Like Abilities, instead using their bows until opponents get within range before switching to their melee weapons.

Lands : Ogrima are found only in lands with both Ogres and Ogre Magi.
Settlements : Ogrima do not settle, they are barely accepted in their homeland.
Beliefs : Religious beliefs vary on how the Ogrima was raised. Those who were saves since birth worship different Gods than their free cousins in the tribes.

Weapon Proficiencies: A Mage Killer gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Combat Style (Ex): At Levels 1, 4 and 7 the Mage Killer gains a Bonus Feat. The exact Feat depends on which Combat Style the Mage Killer chooses: Greatsword: 1st (Power Attack). 4th (Combat Reflexes), 7th (Large and in Charge). Longbow: 1st (Point Blank Shot). 4th (Far Shot), 7th (Penetrating Shot). Magus: 1st (Spectral Warrior), 4th (Spectral Skirmisher), 7th (Sky Warrior).

Resistance (Su): At 2nd level, a Mage Killer gains a bonus equal to his Charisma bonus (minimum +1) on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.

Improved Spell-Like Ability (Sp): At Levels 2, 5 and 8 you may choose one Bonus Feat from the following list: Boost Spell-Like Ability, Heighten Spell-Like Ability, or Quicken Spell-Like Ability.

Mettle (Ex): At 5th level and higher, a Mage Killer can resist magical and unusual attacks with great willpower or fortitude. If he makes a successful Will or Fortitude save against an attack that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save (such as any spell with a saving throw entry of Will half or Fortitude partial), he instead completely negates the effect. An unconscious or sleeping Mage Killer does not gain the benefit of mettle.

Displacement (Sp): You may now use your Racial Blur Ability 3/day, and it has an enhanced effect. The miss chance is 50% instead of 20%. While using this ability the Mage Killer gains a +8 Circumstance Bonus to Hide Checks.

Veteran: At 10th Level, you learn to cast one of the following 1/day as a Spell-Like Ability: Veil, Otiluke's Freezing Sphere, Stone Body.

PLAYING A MAGE KILLER
Without you the tribe dies, or worse. You need to be ever vigilant. Especially of outsiders.
Combat: Combat is your entire life. Your specialty may vary, but you always try to be the best you are at what you do.
Advancement: You focus purely on combat, and sniffing out danger. There's no time for anything else.
Resources: You have the entire tribe to back you up.

MAGE KILLERS IN THE WORLD
"Give him some space. He pays a price for defending us."
You keep the world at sword point. If you don't, then your family ends up in chains.
Daily Life: Your time is spent on guard, or in practice.
Notables:
Organizations: Unless exiled or captured you focus solely on the tribe..

NPC Reaction
NPC's think of you as a dangerous monster. You're generally too busy killing them to tell them they're the real monsters.

MAGE KILLERS IN THE GAME
This class limits the player geographically, unless he can serve his tribe by traveling, or he is no longer with them.
Adaptation: This is mean for Al-Qadim, but can be adapted to other worlds or races.
Encounters: Mage Killers are generally found as slaves, tribal defenders or outlaws.

Sample Encounter
EL x: The PC's have been caught by a press gang, but a battle scarred Ogrima tells them an escape is planned for that night. The group would feel more relieved if he weren't drunk and insane.

Desert trolls are fairly hairless and usually a tan color, though they can modify this depending on their whim to blend in with their natural surroundings.

Rend (Ex): If a troll hits with both claw attacks, it latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 2d6+9 points of damage.

Regeneration (Ex): Acid, water, and magical fire deal normal damage to a desert troll. If a troll loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.

Water Weakness (Ex): Water eats away Desert Trolls in a manner similar to acid. 1 pint of water does 1d6 damage.

Natural Camouflage (Ex): Desert trolls can slightly alter their skin to blend in with their desert surroundings giving them a +4 Racial Bonus to Hide Checks in the desert. In addition they can make Hide checks in the desert even while being observed, and do not take a Size Penalty to their Hide Checks.

Combat: Desert trolls like to haunt oases despite their vulnerability to water as they know the oasis will mean guaranteed prey. If possible they will pick off stragglers or vulnerable members of parties first.
