Any Orc/Goblinoid Fans??

[Bhu]

I could edit reversal to read that if their hit points are maxed out they get anymore damage converted to HP as temporary HP lasting 1 minute. That should push them to a +2.

[Bhu]

soon as I get Meriadar done his priest is next



MERIADAR
Intermediate Deity
Symbol: Decorated Bowl
Home Plane: Arcadia
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Portfolio: Patience, meditation, tolerance, arts and crafts
Worshipers: Mongrelfolk, converted evil humanoids, good humanoids
Cleric Alignments: LG, LN
Domains: Law, Protection, Trickery
Favored Weapon: Unarmed Strike

Meriadar appears as a patchwork of the various humanoid races much like the Mongrelfolk who are his worshipers, but his features seem to shift from moment to moment. He may also appear as a tall figure of any humanoid race, usually dressed in simple brown robes.

Dogma

Meriadar expects his followers to be open-minded, tolerant of racial and cultural differences, and respectful. His believers are encouraged to practice the arts and sciences, and to support their neighbors (even those who may not be so open minded as they are). His followers are asked to be non violent, but not pacifistic. They are not to begin battles, but are allowed to defend themselves if there is no option.


Clergy and Temples

Most of Meriadar's worshipers are Mongrelfolk or good aligned humanoids, but he does actively seek to redeem evil humanoids as well in order to stop the non ending bloodshed between the races. He particularly prizes converting the Goblinoids and his hated by many of the Goblin/Bugbear deities for this (especially Stalker).

Meriadar's priests are almost entirely Mongrelfolk or converts from more savage races. They are very active in society and ploitics, preaching the need for reform, and acceptance of those who are different from the cultural mainstream.

Okay the Nilbog is done and ready for feedback :D

[Cieyrin]

I didn't notice that Forestkith Alpha had been completed, so i'll make my comments on that. I'm curious to know whether the various growth abilities supersede one another when you get them or if, in fact, when you hit the cap you're both medium-sized and have powerful build, putting you on the same level as Goliaths, which I don't believe that was your intention but I could just as easily be wrong.

Also, for Flying Tackle, you're doing next to no damage, as the unarmed strike damage of a small creature is 1d2 (1d3 when you eventually become medium sized). Maybe it would be better to just do some set damage, like 1d6 or 1d8, as initially, no Alpha in their right mind is gonna want to trip himself for tripping the other guy and negligible damage.

Them's my 2 coppers. Take as you will.

he does indeed keep powerful build at medium size. You'll notice the example npc also has Superior Unarmed Strike

Eventually the tackle damage will be quite nice.

[Bhu]

I'm thinking of doing some Racial Feats for the Nilbog to play around with odd things they could learn to do with their Reversal ability. Do you think this would make things complicated or overly confusing or shall I go for it?



PEACEMAKER

[IMG]Picture URL[/IMG]

"If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything."

Peacemaker's act as teachers and diplomats, trying to unite the quarreling humanoid races together and thus preventing bloody wars. Despite being not always entirely successful (especially with the Orcs and Goblinoids) they soldier on, their faith in their God shielding them from thoughts of despair.

BECOMING A PEACEMAKER
Most Peacemaker's are Clerics with a level or two in a more socially oriented class (like Rogue) to pick up a few diplomacy skills.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Race: Mongrelfolk, or any humanoid who is either Neutral or who has converted from Evil
Patron: Meriadar
Class Abilities: Must have access to the Protection Domain
Feats: Improved Unarmed Strike, Negotiator, Superior Unarmed Strike
Skills: Bluff 4 ranks, Diplomacy 4 ranks, Gather Information 4 ranks, Knowledge (Local, Religion) 4 ranks, Sense Motive 4 ranks
Alignment: Lawful Good, Lawful Neutral, or Neutral


Class Skills
The Peacemaker's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Appraise (Int), Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Knowledge (Any)(Int), Listen (Wis), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), and Speak Language.
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int

Hit Dice: d6

   BAB  Fort    Ref    Will  Abilities
1. +0    +0     +0     +2    Diplomacy, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class
2. +1    +0     +0     +3    The Balm of Peace, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class
3. +2    +1     +1     +3    Protective Ward, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class
4. +3    +1     +1     +4    Diplomacy, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class
5. +3    +1     +1     +4    The Balm of Peace, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class
6. +4    +2     +2     +5    Protective Ward, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class
7. +5    +2     +2     +5    Diplomacy, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class
8. +6    +2     +2     +6    The Balm of Peace, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class
9. +6    +3     +3     +6    Protective Ward, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class
10.+7    +3     +3     +7    Protection of Faith, +1 Level of Divine Spellcasting Class

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

Diplomacy (Ex): At levels 1, 4, and 7 choose 1 skill from your class list that is based on Charisma or Wisdom. From now on you may always take 10 with that skill.

The Balm of Peace (Su): At 2nd level you may cast Calm Emotions at will as a Supernatural Ability.

At 5th level the Calm Emotions ability affects all beings in a 40' spread, and the Duration is 1 round per character level.

At 8th level the Calm Emotions ability lasts 10 minutes per character level, and the Save DC is increased +4.

Protective Ward (Su): At 3rd, 6th, and 9th level you may use the Protective Ward Domain Ability an additional time per day. Beginning at 3rd level your Cleric and Peacemaker levels stack for purposes of determining your Cleric Level for this ability.

Protection of Faith (Su): At 10th level you may expend one daily use of your Turn Undead ability to keep a Protective Ward in place once it has been used. In other words if your Ally has to make a Save (and would thus use up the benefit of his Protective Ward) you may expend the use of Turn Undead to give him the Bonus for a second Save. This still does not increase the duration of the ability, and the Ally must be within 60' for you to do this. You may now use the Protective Ward ability as a Swift Action up to 5 times per day. Spells you cast from the Abjuration school are cast at +1 caster level.

PLAYING A PEACEMAKER
Racism and intolerance are the core of all warfare as you see it. If you can get beings of all races and cultures to accept one another as equals you can put an end to war. Some say this makes you a blind, naive fool. But you have faith that Meriadars cause will one day bring peace to the world.
Combat: peacemakers never initiate combat. They will defend others if necessary, and themselves as well. But they do not start fights.
Advancement: Most Peacemakers strictly pursue the art of the Diplomat. They desire to see war and bigotry end, and that requires a certain single minded dedication.
Resources: Peacemakers may be destitute quite often themselves, but their generosity and hard work often earns them enough repsect that others will help them in whatever way they can in times of need.

PEACEMAKERS IN THE WORLD
"I am beginning to see you too often on the field of battle little priest. I think perhaps it is time I made an end of your scheming."
Peacemakers lobby hard to get the various races to accept one another as equals under the Law, with identical rights and opportunities. This makes their cause at times unpopular given how deep racism can run in some communities, especially at wartime. But they are recognized for their efforts to prevent unnecessary death.
Daily Life: Your days are incredibly busy. You must heal the sick, tend the wounded, plan for future problems (you probably live in a war zone after all), and try to limit the carnage in any way possible.
Notables: Nyenka (LN Female Goblin Cleric 5/Rogue 1/Peacemaker 6) has been on the front lines of every Goblinoid War in the last decade trying to end the fighting. She is the target of many assassination attempts by the Goblin Clergy.
Organizations: The Peacemakers are an organization dedicated to ending war and bigotry. Their efforts are seen as futile by most given their small numbers, but many end up as advisers to beings in power. Which can be far more valuable than simple force in numbers.

NPC Reaction
Peacemakers tend to be respected by all, including some Lawful Evil beings. Only Neutral and Chaotic Evil beings truly despise them for the role they play in disrupting their schemes (LE beings at least see a use for them).

PEACEMAKERS IN THE GAME
Peacemakers try to stop fights. PC's usually try to start them. Playing this PrC will require a certain mindset from it's player, and his companions. It can easily be as big a problem as a Paladin in the wrong group.
Adaptation: This is best used in campaigns where war is common, at least among the humanoid races.
Encounters: PC's will encounter Peacemakers in wartime, usually as diplomats or healers. They try not to take sides, and act as neutral go betweens trying to stop, or at least limit the fighting.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's have been hired to protect a goblin priest that the local Duke claims is working on the humans side in an attempt to put an end to the war. He says her own people are trying to murder her.

[Cieyrin]

Eh, I say see how it goes. You could probably get some interesting abilities developed, like my favorite race, the Urdunnir, have.

As for the Peacemaker, I'm hoping for some irony there, like the massive hand gun of the same name.

EDIT: Oh, I see what you're aiming at now, now that I actually bothered to read the god's description. I suppose every evil pantheon needs an Eilistraee, which isn't a bad thing at all, as I love Eilistraee and it's another thing I have against 4E Forgotten Realms for her passing, though she technically passed before then, really. -_-

[Bhu]

There will be another sort of goblin peacemaker who will be somewhat more ironic, never fear.

[Bhu]

Got Meriadar updated a bit. Sorry this is taking so long, work has been problematic lately.

[Bhu]

Minor updates to Peacemaker.

[Cieyrin]

You have alignment conflicts in your prereqs for Peacemaker. You first say for the race any evil race that has turned to True Neutrality or any good and then you add a further alignment restriction of Lawful Good or Neutral.

[Bhu]

Sorry bout that. Hazards of doing these at wee hours of the morning after a bad day. Thanks Cieyrin.

[Bhu]

Meriadar is finally done (phew!)

Minor update to peacemaker

bargrivyek will be up next

[Bhu]

Peacemaker is almost done so:

BARGRIVYEK
Lesser God
Symbol: Flail
Home Plane: Baator
Alignment: Lawful Evil
Portfolio: Cooperation, Territory
Worshipers: Goblins
Cleric Alignments: LE, LN, NE
Domains: Goblin, Pact, Planning
Favored Weapon: Flail

Known as the Peacekeeper because he tolerates no war between the goblinoid tribes, and is the Goblin God of Cooperation and Territory (specifically acquiring territory). Despite his title he is neither gentle or pacifistic, and is in fact quite homicidaly inclined towards the other humanoid races (particularly Orcs for some reason). He appears as an 8' tall Goblin with a high domed forehead and carrying a white-tipped flail.

Dogma

Bargrivyek preaches that no goblinoid should harm another, especially if he has the option of harming a non-goblinoid. The territory of the goblin races must expand at all costs, and it's even preferable the way is paved in the blood of others.

Clergy and Temples

Temples to Bargrivyek are always found near military post of the goblin races, and at the edges of their territory. Once that territory has been expanded the temple keeps moving towards the edge. Bargrivyeks priests often speak in tongues or in his voice as omens.

PEACEKEEPER

[IMG]Picture URL[/IMG]

"There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy."

Peacekeepers, are as their names imply, diplomats who attempt to prevent violence. But they only prevent violence among the Goblinoid tribes. Against the other humanoid races they are as savage and resentful as the worst of their kind. For them, peace is a tool for their race only. A means of concentrating on the annihilation of the other races.

BECOMING A PEACEKEEPER
Peacekeepers are specialized priests of Bargrivyek.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Race: Goblin
Patron: Bargrivyek
Spells: Must be able to cast at least 3rd level Divine Spells
Feats: Domain Focus (Pact or Planning), Domain Spontaneity (Pact or Planning), True Believer
Skills: Diplomacy 8 ranks, Knowledge (Religion) 8 ranks


Class Skills
The Peacekeeper's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Bluff (Cha), Concentration (Con), Diplomacy (Cha), Gather Information (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana, History, Local, Religion, War)(Int), Listen (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), and Spellcraft (Int).
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int

Hit Dice: d8

10.+7    +7     +3     +7    Voice of Bargrivyek

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

Voice of the Gods (Su): You voice Omens and portents sent from your God on occasion. The rest of the time your magically enhanced voice at least makes it sound as if you still are the voice of your deity.

At 1st level any spells you cast with Verbal Components have their Save DC increased by +1.

At 4th level you may always Take 20 when using one of the following skills (Bluff, Diplomacy, Gather Information, Intimidate) a number of times per day equal to your Charisma Modifier instead of making a regular Skill Check.

At 7th level you may cast Commune a number of times per day equal to your Charisma Modifier as a Supernatural Ability.

Command Goblinoids (Su): At 2nd level you may cast Command at will as a Supernatural Ability, but only on Goblinoids.

At 5th level you may expend a daily use of Rebuke Undead to instead Rebuke a Goblinoid.

At 8th level you may cast Dominate Person as a Supernatural Ability a number of times per day equal to your Charisma Modifier, but only on Goblinoids.

Morale Officer (Su): You are responsible for the morale of the men in your care, and you make certain it remains high by keeping them more afraid of you than the enemy. At 3rd level as a Standard Action you can generate an aura in a 60' area that gives all Goblinoids within the area of effect a +1 Morale Bonus to all roles. The Aura lasts (3 rounds + 1 round per point of Charisma Modifier) and may be used once per day for every 2 levels of Peacekeeper.

The Bonus increases to +2 at level 6, and +4 at level 9.

Voice of Bargrivyek (Ex): At 10th level you can speak with the voice of your deity once per day as a Standard Action. All Goblinoids within 120' gain a +2 Morale Bonus on all rolls, and all non-Goblinoids gain a -2 Morale Penalty on all rolls for the duration of the encounter.

PLAYING A PEACEKEEPER
Your goal is to keep everyone focused on fighting the enemy. Goblinoids can be hot tempered at times, and they don't often agree with one another on many issues. They need a steady and firm hand to keep their anger focused on it's proper place: the other races.
Combat: Peacekeepers rarely get to see the battlefield as their duties take them elsewhere, but they are capable enough with their flails, and have their spells to protect them.
Advancement: Peacekeepers are rather like the Gestapo of the Goblinoid armies. They are political officers designed to make sure everyone obeys the governments/churches official rhetoric, and silence any dissenters. This keeps 'morale' high.
Resources: Peacekeepers usually have the backing of any Goblinoid government or military. They many times act as the heads of the military police, ensuring that their own soldiers do not fight against one another, and save their attentions for the enemy.

PEACEKEEPERS IN THE WORLD
"Shut it. Here comes the Peacekeepeer."
Goblins low in the chain of command are yours to run herd over, and some of them resent you for it. This is only natural. But you're there for a purpose and they need to understand that. You must ensure there are no thoughts or actions critical of the war effort. Even if it means snapping a few necks to make an example.
Daily Life: The daily life of a Peacekeeper is spent responding to calls for diplomatic 'aid' (i.e. pretense meant to fool the enemy), ensuring the soldiers don't get into brawls amongst themselves, and perhaps even a little sabotage.
Notables: Dovmek (LE Male Goblin Cleric 6/Peacekeeper 6) is typical of his loathsome kind: a polished officer with a kind word for everyone, and a dagger at their backs.
Organizations: All Peacekeepers belong to the Church of Bargrivyek and the Goblinoid military. They are forbidden to belong to any other organizations which will demand their time and abilities.

NPC Reaction
Most NPC's don't like to see a Peacekeeper coming, even other Goblins. Since you're an ideological fanatic you tend to make enemies, and those beneath you consider you a contemptible hypocrite for not making the sacrifices you urge of others.

PEACEKEEPERS IN THE GAME
Peacekeepers are an evil bunch. Unless your campaign is all evil or all Goblin it is suggested you be careful about allowing them.
Adaptation: This is meant for darker campaigns obviously. If it's not also a military campaign the Peacekeeper will obviously be of less importance to the party as well.
Encounters: PC's will generally encounter the Peacekeepers at the diplomatic table, or in any war effort involving the Goblins. Otherwise they ted to stay out of sight.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's have been hired to assassinate a Goblin Priest/Commander of some sort. Getting to him since he's surrounded by an army will be difficult. Or perhaps not considering that the officers of that same army hired you...

Minor updates to Peacekeeper and Bargrivyek. I've got things pretty much fixed at Wizards so I can begin paying attention again.

[Bhu]

Minor updates to Bargrivyek and Peacekeeper again. Sorry guys, this week has just sucked so far.

[Bhu]

I added the Goblin Domain to bargrivyek. Any thoughts?

[Rappy]

It works pretty good as a domain, considering the typical strengths of goblinoids.

[Bhu]

Thanks Rap.

Just noticed he blog. Kudos.

bargrivyek is finished except for his new Divine ability. Minor update to the Peacekeeper.

[Bhu]

Bargrivyeks Divine Ability is up (any thoughts?).

Minor update to Peacekeeper.

THE SONS OF MAGLUBIYET

[IMG]Picture URL[/IMG]

"War is an art and as such is not susceptible of explanation by fixed formula"

The Sons of Maglubiyet are a cadre of warrior priests who have devoted themselves to continuing in the image of their idol. They are obsessed with the goblinoids eternal war with the other races, and many believe that their own contributions are enough to turn the tide. Pride is a common sin amongst the Sons.

BECOMING A SON OF MAGLUBIYET
Most Sons begin as particularly militant clerics. A few multiclass into more martial pursuits, but most are just clerics.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Race: Any Goblinoid
Domains: Destruction, Planning
Feats: Divine Armor, True Believer
Skills: Concentration 8 ranks, Knowledge (Religion) 8 ranks


Class Skills
The Son's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Arcana, Geography, History, Religion, War)(Int), Ride (Dex), and Spellcraft (Int).
Skills Points at Each Level : 4 + int

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

Battlefield Divination (Su): At 1st level you cast all spells on the Cleric list that are also in the Divination school at +1 caster level.

At 4th level you do not provoke an attack of opportunity when casting spells on the Cleric spell list that are also in the Divination school.

At 7th level you may choose to "lose" 1 Divination spell in the first round of combat as a Free Action. You and all allies within 30' gain an Insight Bonus to attack and critical confirmation rolls equal to the spells level for the duration of the encounter.

Battlefield Command (Su): At 2nd level you cast all spells on the Cleric list that are also in the Enchantment school at +1 caster level.

At 5th level you do not provoke an attack of opportunity when casting spells on the Cleric spell list that are also in the Enchantment school.

At 7th level you may choose to "lose" 1 Enchantment spell in the first round of combat as a Free Action. You and one ally per level of the spell (i.e. a 1st level spell affects you and 1 ally, a second level spell affects you and 2 allies) who are within 30' can move without provoking attacks of opportunity for 3 rounds. This is a Mind-Affecting effect.

Rallying Point (Su): At 3rd level you become a Rallying Point for Allies. If you make your Save successfully against any Fear effect or Morale penalty
so do all allies within 30'.

At 6th level allies within 30' cannot be flanked unless you are also flanked.

At 9th level allies within 30' cannot be denied their Dexterity Bonus to AC unless you also are denied your Dex Bonus to AC.

Divine Presence (Su): At 10th level you can assume the likeness of your deity. You swell to enormous proportions, your skin blackens, and your eyes burn with fire. Your Size Class is permanently increased by one (i.e. if you were Small you are now Medium, if you were Medium you are now Large, etc). You permanently increase your Strength and Constitution by +4, and increase your Natural Armor Bonus by +2. Your base speed remains the same, but size/reach has the potential to increase if you are medium. Any spell you cast with a Fear effect or Morale based penalty has it's Save DC increased by +2 (this stacks with Feats such as Spell Focus).

PLAYING A SON
You know how to whip a group of men into combat shape. They may think they know better than you, but they don't. You are a chosen one of Maglubiyet himself. What you want takes precedence over lesser people.
Combat: The Sons prefer to be leaders, but leaders who are active participants as opposed to generals way at the back. They want to be directing things on the front where the action is.
Advancement: The Sons are fairly single minded, always attempting to become better battle tacticians and fighters. Most don't even bother memorizing healing spells in favor of combat utility magic.
Resources: The Sons can call upon a wide array of resources, particularly if it helps the Hobgoblin cause or war efforts. Even if it's for something personal they can usually count on some minimal help of some kind.

SONS IN THE WORLD
"He's a tough old --------."
Sons generally regard the world as a training exercise. Non-goblinoids are their to test them and hone their skills upon, and nothing more. They're snooty jerks basically.
Daily Life: Sons train hard to be the best warrior/priests they can be. Most will participate in any battle, even if not asked, just to sharpen their skills. it's wise not to start bar fights around them as they regard them as a recreational form of practice murder.
Notables: Kaan (LE Male Hobgoblin Cleric 6/Son of Maglubiyet 5) is an up and coming Son who hopes to become a general in the Hobgoblin armies.
Organizations: The Sons are an organization unto themselves. They are influential within the Hobgoblin clergy and military, and are thus at the center of much of Hobgoblin politics as their society revolves around religious warfare with the outside world.

NPC Reaction
If they are Hobgoblins, they tend to view the Sons as heroes. If they aren't, they view the Sons as blind fanatics hellbent on keeping the Hobs in permanent warfare.

SONS IN THE GAME
This is a class meant for military participation, and in non military campaigns the player may feel like an odd man out. He's supposed to be leading hobgoblins, not skulking around with members of other races doing questionable things.
Adaptation: This is made for serious campaigns involving warfare, but in a pinch it could be twisted for a sillier style of play.
Encounters: PC's can encounter the Sons anywhere the Hobgoblins are fighting, especially at large battles.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's have been hired to negotiate with the local Hobgoblins to avoid a brutal and unnecessary war. Complicating things is a particularly militant priest on the hobgoblin side who seems almost apoplectic at the idea of their not being fighting.

EPIC SONS

I love oit-primarily because the Sons of Maglubiyet were a militant religious group in the Goblin Revolution storyline in the Town.

[Bhu]

Thanks Renrik!

peacekeepers class abilities are up. Any thoughts on how many caster levels it should keep?

Also, and I dont know how, I have just realized I have forgotten to finish the Peacemaker class, and have begun on it's class abilities.

[Cieyrin]

The 4th level ability of Voice doesn't seem all that useful, given that taking 20 assumes you try every possible method till you succeed, so you've already probably failed a number of times in your extended check to persuade people to your view, so why should they give you the light of day to persuade them no, since you couldn't defend your viewpoint before?

I assume Command Goblinoids' 8th level ability only dominates goblinoids, right?

Also, the capstone should probably have a different name, so as not to be confused with the earlier abilities.

Them's my 2 coppers. Take as you will.

You get to Take 20 instead of making the skill check. Reworded the ability to make more sense. Fixed the 8th level ability, and renamed the capstone. The Peacemaker now has all it's class abilities as well, and I just need to decide on caster levels for the two classes.

[Cieyrin]

Hmm, i almost expected Peacemaker to have Sanctuary but an uber Calm Emotions is definitely a good deal. Keeping them barbarians down works for me. ^_^

[Bhu]

I'm currently thinking of keeping the Peacemaker at full caster levels (or maybe -1), and the Peacekeeper 1t -2 to -3 caster levels. Any objections?

[Cieyrin]

Sounds about right to me, as the Peacemaker only really gets their uber Calm emotions in an otherwise kinda weak PRC. Peacekeepers got a few more potent abilities, so cutting a few CL is probably decent for them. Speaking of Peacekeepers, for their Morale Officer ability, why not just call it a morale bonus, given you say it basically is and it doesn't stack with other morale bonuses. Plus, bonus type creep tends to bother me unless it's really warranted, as we got enough bonus types already to cover most any situation already.

Them's my 2 coppers.

[Bhu]

Peacemaker and Peacekeeper have Epic levels added and all is fixed. I'd have done more but the PC conked out on me. New deity and PrC to come shortly.
