Changeling

Chameleon

"You can’t solve every problem with a hammer . . ."

Prerequisite: Changeling

As a changeling, you alter appearances and identities to suit your purpose. As a chameleon, you take versatility to a new level. You absorb the mannerisms and actions of those around you through careful observation. You not only change your appearance, you alter your powers and are able to perform an astonishing range of maneuvers. The more time you spend with a person, the more accurately you can mimic his or her actions and abilities.

CHAMELEON PATH FEATURES

Coordinated Action (11th level): If you have not already spent an action point in the encounter, when an ally spends an action point to take an extra action, you can spend an action point as an immediate reaction. Your action must be taken after your ally has resolved the action from his or her action point.

Shifting Skill (11th level): During an extended rest, choose one skill in which an ally is trained. At the end of the extended rest, you gain training in that skill until the end of your next extended rest. The ally whose skill you choose must be present during the entire extended rest.

Power Focus (16th level): During a short rest, choose one of your allies’ class or paragon path encounter attack powers of 11th level or lower. At the end of the short rest, you can swap the encounter attack power you gained with imitating strike for the chosen attack power.

You can use your Charisma for the attack roll and damage roll instead of the ability scores normally associated with that power’s attack rolls and damage rolls.

You can use your Charisma for the attack roll and damage roll instead of the ability scores normally associated with that power’s attack rolls and damage rolls. You do not need to meet the normal prerequisites to use the power, but you must meet any of its requirements.

Deva

Ancestral Incarnate

"It looks as if you spent a lifetime learning that technique. I humbly counter—with a technique that took a dozen lifetimes to master."

Prerequisite: Deva

All devas have at least a tenuous connection to their past lives, and they see themselves as spiritual descendants of their previous incarnations. For you, the connection to your past lives is more tangible. As an ancestral incarnate, you can call forth your own spirit as it existed years or centuries ago to advise you, protect you, and confound your enemies. Those who have the temerity to face you in battle learn that they aren’t fighting just the present-day incarnation of you, but also every incarnation of you that has ever been.

ANCESTRAL INCARNATE PATH FEATURES

Resurgent Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you can regain the use of an encounter attack power that you have already used during this encounter. The power’s level must be no higher than your level -4, and you must use the power when taking the extra action.

Serene Countenance (11th level): You gain a +2 bonus to saving throws to end effects that make you dazed or stunned.

Past-Life Acolytes (16th level): When you perform any ritual, you can make three ghostly incarnations of your past lives step out of your body to help you. Each incarnation either grants you a +2 bonus to the ritual’s skill check or contributes a healing surge to help pay the ritual’s healing surge cost, if any. The number of incarnations increases to four at 20th level, five at 25th level, and six at 30th level.

A translucent deva spirit steps out of your body and interposes itself between you and an enemy.

Hit: 4d8 + Wisdom modifier damage.

Effect: You regain 5 hit points for each target.

Dark Star

Prerequisite: Deva

At 11th level, your redeemed deva takes on the dark star paragon path. Freeing oneself from corruption is no guarantee against returning to evil, and no one knows this better than does the fallen deva. Reclaiming your deva form does nothing to dispel those memories and experiences from your time as rakshasa. The wicked memories lurk in your thoughts, urging you to indulge in deviant acts, to embrace vice and wickedness, and to succumb to evil’s temptation once more.

Your dark memories haunt you. Try as you might, you cannot silence the voices nor can you suppress the experiences you found in your fallen state. As you were once able, you can still call upon the memories you carry to aid you, but in addition to the other deva lifetimes, you also can draw upon your time as rakshasa as well. Drawing from these recollections places you at risk of falling once more, but provided you remain fixed toward your path, perhaps one day you will overcome the shame you must shoulder.

Devas know their redeemed brethren as dark stars, so named for their new ascendancy toward virtue and also for the evil shadowing their souls. Devas are, of course, rare in the world and so dark stars are even rarer—so scarce most might believe them representative of the entire race. As a dark star, you must ever contend with your unpleasant memories while working to earn the redemption you have received.

DARK STAR PATH FEATURES

Excruciating Transposition (11th level): You gain the excruciating transposition power.

Horrifying Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an action, you can use memory of a thousand lifetimes once that turn without expending its use or even if you have used it already during this encounter. Enemies adjacent to you when you spend the action point cannot make opportunity attacks against you until the start of your next turn.

Maddening Delusion (11th level): When you use memory of a thousand lifetimes to add to an attack and that attack hits, the target takes a -2 penalty to its attack rolls and grants combat advantage until the end of your next turn.

Tangled Fate (12th level): You gain the tangled fate power.

Vile Rebirth (16th level): Once per day, when you make a death saving throw, you can add +10 to the saving throw after you roll it. Then, until the end of the encounter, you lose resistance to radiant damage.

Soul Scourge (20th level): You gain the soul scourge power.

Dark Star Attack 11Excruciating Transposition

Miss: Half damage, and ongoing 5 necrotic damage (save ends).

Effect: Until the end of the encounter, your attacks deal 4 extra necrotic and radiant damage.

Heavenly Deceiver

Prerequisite: Deva

At 11th level, your veilwalker deva takes on the heavenly deceiver paragon path. You walk just this side of a boundary thinner than the finest veil and develop an affinity for the deceptive magic of the rakshasa even as the memories of past incarnations become distant. You choose your path to take advantage of this power and wield it against evil; or perhaps you are on a path dictated by your carelessness—because the intentionally evil would already be beyond redemption. You bear patterns on your skin distinct from those on most devas. The colors are always darker and include more red than their incorruptible brethren. The patterns made by the colorations are sharper, more sudden, and more violent than the simple elegance of other devas.

The longer you remain a veilwalker, the greater a command over illusion and deceit that balancing act grants you. Manipulation of others becomes an art and a second nature to you.

HEAVENLY DECEIVER PATH FEATURES

Deceitful Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you become invisible until the end of your next turn or until you make an attack.

Illusion-Sheathed Strike (11th level): You gain the illusion-sheathed strike power.

Snake-Tongued Mastery (11th level): You gain a +2 bonus to Bluff checks, and you gain the deceitful image power.

Duplicate Image (12th level): You gain the duplicate image power.

Deceitful Terrain (16th level): When you start your turn, you can use a free action to slide an adjacent enemy to another non-hindering square adjacent to you.

Illusion of Solitude (20th level): You gain the illusion of solitude power.

Heavenly Deceiver FeatureDeceitful Image

The image looks real, smells real, sounds real, and feels real to a light touch. But it’s not real.

Encounter Illusion

Standard Action Close burst 10

Effect: You create an illusion of any size within the burst that lasts until the end of the encounter, for 5 minutes, or until you use this power again. It appears real to all senses. If the subject of the illusion would normally emit sounds, the illusion can do so as well, but on a limited basis (subject to the DM’s judgment)—it’s not possible, for instance, for the illusion to engage in an extended conversation.

You can give the illusion simple instructions such as moving in a set pattern, appearing to chew on local plants, and similar actions. You can also match actions to a specific trigger. An illusion might move when a creature moves next to it or cower and scream when it is attacked, for example. The illusion cannot travel outside the area of the burst.

You make a Bluff check when the deceitful image is created. Creatures that view or interact with the illusion are entitled to Insight checks opposed by that Bluff check to detect that they are viewing an illusion. A creature is allowed a check the first time it sees the illusion and each time it interacts with it. A creature that touches an illusion automatically determines that the image is fake.

Heavenly Deceiver Attack 11Illusion-Sheathed Strike

Your foes hold you in such fear that it forces them to their knees.

Encounter Illusion, Psychic

Aftereffect: The target cannot see you (save ends).

Dragonborn

Adamant Instructor

"It is my destiny to unite the Great Teacher’s peoples once again."

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, any divine class

The Great Teacher was revered by all the peoples of his underground realm. The ancient adamantine dragon’s influence didn’t spread into the land of sun and wind, but in the rock, ore, and fungus of the Underdark, his benevolence erected an island of good under the earth. Long ago, the Great Teacher rescued a group of dragonborn that that were beset by denizens of the Underdark, and instead of returning to the surface, these dragonborn devoted themselves to the Adamantine. They became his Adamant Instructors and together they forged a noble nation around the Great Teacher’s hoard in the cavern complex they called Adamanth. The dragonborn prospered under the Teacher’s guidance, and Adamanth became a haven for all that was good and strong. Even some drow and duergar were drawn by the Great Teacher’s benevolence to renounce their darker ways and live in peace under the rule of the Adamant Instructors.

Then one day the Great Teacher departed Adamanth to deal with a nasty group of purple dragons that were slaughtering his people on the borders of his influence. He never returned. For decades, the Adamant Instructors have followed the Great Teacher’s instructions, which were carved on a disk of solid adamantine in flowing draconic script by the ancient dragon before he departed. But the Adamant Instructors are hard-pressed to keep hope alive in Adamanth. Purple worms continue to assail them, the drow are assembling an army, and rumors say that mind flayers are stirring in the deep caves to the west. In the absence of the Great Teacher, it is up to the Adamant Instructors to lead the adamantine dragon’s people through these dark times.

ADAMANT INSTRUCTOR PATH FEATURES

Instructed Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you and each ally within 5 squares of you gain a +2 power bonus to the next attack roll made before the end of your next turn.

Thunderous Teachings (11th level): Your dragon breath racial power deals thunder damage in addition to any damage type it might have dealt previously. In addition, when you hit a creature with dragon breath, the target takes 1d6 extra damage (2d6 extra at 21st level) and you can push the target 1 square.

Insightful Negotiator (16th level): You gain a +3 bonus to Insight checks. In addition, you can make an Insight check in place of any Diplomacy check.

Argentum Alliance

"By the honor of Sephitherax, you oppress these people no more!"

Prerequisite: Dragonborn

High atop the mountains in Hoar Frost Castle, the mighty Sephitherax trains an elite corps of dragonborn so that they can defend the innocent. Honorable and decent people respect the Argentum Alliance, and the unscrupulous and corrupt fear it. All flights of chromatic dragons dread the justice of the Alliance, but the white dragons especially seek the destruction of Hoar Frost Castle. Backed by the power of the ancient silver dragon Sephitherax, the Alliance can help people overthrow evil despots or theocrats. They are the first to respond to volcanic eruptions or floods to maintain order and defend people from those who might prey upon weakness. An Argentum Agent is a savior and a welcome sight to the impoverished.

Many a fierce dragonborn, inspired by the tales of the bravery of the Alliance, makes his or her way to the summit of the tallest mountain to Hoar Frost Castle, where each expects to be judged by Sephitherax. In the bailey yard of the castle, with thick ice encrusting the flags and silverwork, each dragonborn kneels before the hundred steps before the citadel.

The ancient silver questions each supplicant. When Sephitherax raises his left claw, the candidate is banished from Hoar Frost Castle immediately. When the wise old dragon raises his right claw, the supplicant might one day become an Argentum Agent, but that day is not today. He or she is given a hot meal and sent down the mountain with the expectation that he or she will perform worthy tasks before returning to the Castle one year hence to be judged again. If the candidate is worthy, Sephitherax pronounces him or her an Argentum Agent by raising both claws and embracing the dragonborn. Rarely is a dragonborn raised the first time he or she is presented to Sephitherax; many are judged two or three times before Sephitherax declares the supplicant an Argentum Agent.

Brothers train at Hoar Frost Castle, and they learn to harness the frigid winds from Sephitherax. The color of the scales of an Argentum Agent fade over time and are replaced with a metallic gleam. None are sure if this transformation is due to the icy conditions or the proximity and blessing of the Heart of Sephitherax, an amulet artifact bestowed to the ancient silver by Bahamut.

ARGENTUM ALLIANCE PATH FEATURES

Argent Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an attack, you mark each enemy within 5 squares of you until the end of your next turn.

Fear Walker

"You have a reason to be afraid."

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, dragonfear racial power

The ability to affect others with supernatural draconic fear changes the way a dragonborn sees the world. Dragonborn are already proud, and seeing other creatures flinch and cringe before him or her only swells that pride. Pleased by others’ reactions, they learn how to focus the dragonfear they wield. They hone it into a weapon and force enemies to their knees, tears streaming from their faces in terror. It is an exhilarating feeling that the best fear walkers learn to control.

Your mastery of others’ fear is still growing, but it is already formidable. When you choose, you make enemies grovel at your feet, and you’ve found few you cannot make fear for their lives with choice words and a threatening stance. Soon, you will achieve the same skill with this ability that the dragons themselves wield.

FEAR WALKER PATH FEATURES

Fear Mastery (11th level): You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with fear powers.

Glee-born

"Never underestimate the value of a well-timed jest."

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, any arcane class

Dragonborn can be a harsh and taciturn race. When a dragonborn becomes known for excessive jesting or practical jokes, he or she is shunned and called glee-born or “touched by copper.” Rather than accept scorn, glee-born embrace their fun-loving nature and welcome the title with pride, even if they are forced into exile away from dragonborn lands. Luckily, many human kings welcome glee-born into their courts as jesters or courtesans.

Glee-born are quick to laugh, but they can be dangerous in battle. A sly word or cutting insult can easily distract a foe, and glee-born are known to have arcane talents that they use liberally in combat.

Only true copper dragons could match the sly wit of a glee-born, and many scholars posit that the gleeborn must have coppers in their lineage. Indeed, the scales of older glee-born have been known to develop an orange hue and even a green verdigris tinge late in life. If they live long enough, that is.

GLEE-BORN PATH FEATURES

Glib Tongue (11th level): You gain a +3 bonus to Bluff checks and Diplomacy checks.

Insulting Action (11th level): When you miss a target that grants combat advantage to you, you can spend an action point to reroll that attack roll with a +2 bonus. You must use the result of the second roll.

Honorable Blade

"The lightning that crackles along my blade is sustained by my honor. If my honor fails, so does my strength."

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, any martial class

A few dragonborn clans are not true clans. Unbound by family ties, these individual warriors join together around a common ideal. These are warrior societies that celebrate the dragonborn ideals of honorable combat and glorious victory, while celebrating what makes them dragonborn—the dragon within that empowers their dragon breath. Each of these warrior clans has a patron dragon type, and the members of those societies typically emulate their patron dragons in a variety of ways, from alignment and behavior to the damage type of their dragon breath.

As an honorable blade, you have reached the pinnacle of such a warrior clan. You have begun to master its most exotic fighting techniques, starting with the ability to sheathe your weapon in the same draconic energy that powers your racial breath power. Your techniques are purely martial, but they embody the physical qualities of dragonkind, just as you strive to embody their behavioral qualities in your own deeds.

HONORABLE BLADE PATH FEATURES

Draconic Blade (11th level): Choose one type of damage you can deal with the dragon breath power. As a free action, you can add this damage type to all damage dealt with your melee weapon, in addition to any other type of damage those powers deal. Another free action returns the weapon’s damage to normal.

Dragon Breath Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you can also use your dragon breath power as a free action, even if you have already expended it in this encounter.

Inner Dragon

"The fury of the dragon seethes in my blood!"

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, fighter

Dragonborn issue from the same spiritual line as mighty dragons. Since the earliest days, dragonborn have nurtured their raw fury into a fighting spirit and a proud martial tradition. The empire of Arkhosia formed from these roots, and it expanded at times based as much on the power of its military force as on its civilizing influence.

In Arkhosia, dragonborn served dragons in numerous capacities, from vizier to archmage, oracle to valet. The most important roles performed by dragonborn, however, were as agents in a dangerous world or as defenders of the homeland. Soldierly ways passed through the generations, as did the ability to tap one’s inner draconic nature.

Particular dragonborn masters hone body, mind, and spirit through martial practice to perfectly tap into the inner dragon. Some come to this knowledge on their own; others gain it from teachers eager to train younger dragonborn in ancient traditions. Only a few master the techniques well enough to become legendary heroes or villains.

Whatever your personal history, the untamed blood of dragons flows in your veins. Your veneration of your warrior ancestors has manifested as a supernatural tie to this heritage. You hear the call of the dragon within. Its ferocity courses through you. Woe to those who harm you, for the shedding of your blood rouses the ire of your draconic heart.

INNER DRAGON PATH FEATURES

Mercurial Assassin

"I can be in many places at once, or right behind you, pretendingto be your best friend."

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, trained in Bluff or Stealth

The House of Methys has always had a strong connection to quicksilver. As the story goes, the family fortune was forged from a source of mercury discovered in one of their iron mines, with the wizards and alchemists of the realm paying handsomely for the rare liquid metal. At some point, though, rumors spread that by digging for more mercury, the House of Methys awoke something powerful in the deeps. Then, the rumors abruptly stopped, possibly because anyone heard prying into the details about the noble house died soon after.

What most folk don’t know is that a clan of twelve mercury dragons served as the source of the Methys fortune. The merchant house drained them of some of their blood, which can be transformed through ritual magic to pure mercury, and then sold the metal to the highest bidder. At first, these mercury dragons were amused that humans would pay so handsomely for their blood, and their hoards grew at the cost of a minute or two of pain. But when they learned that Methys agents had stolen a clutch of a mercury dragon’s eggs to harvest for the precious liquid metal, they realized the scope of the Methys family’s hunger for power. These twelve mercury dragons, maddened

with grief, turned on their business partners and slaughtered the leaders, then used their polymorph ability to assume their identities. Now the Methys dragons have made it their mission to reacquire all of the mercury that came from the dragon eggs by tracking down the sales of the blood using the spotty records the Methys agents kept, plus ensure that knowledge of the ritual used to transform their blood is erased from the world. They have vowed to never again allow another agency to profit from their own blood.

To help them in this endeavor, they turned to group of dragonborn agents, gathered one by one. Soon after the original members of House Methys were dispatched, the twelve dragons discovered that by infusing their blood into that of a dragonborn, through a painful ritual colloquially called the Infusion, the dragonborn gained some abilities that benefited them in their pursuit of their masters’ goal. The mercurial assassins, as these dragonborn are known, are then sent out to hunt down every drop of mercury created from the foul ritual and bring it back to House Methys. They are also charged with tracking down any copies of the ritual that might exist. Assassinating those individuals who have some portion of the mercury isn’t a primary objective, but it isn’t exactly frowned upon either. The mercurial assassin is rewarded no matter the circumstances.

Mithral Arm

"My patron bathes in the Astral Sea, I am here to keep his interests in the Material."

Prerequisite: Dragonborn

Some mithral dragons are content to spend their lives in the Astral Sea, having no connection to the world or the business of mortal creatures. That is not true of the Mithral Pentad, a band of five mithral dragons who believe it is Io’s will to rid the world of the tyranny wrought by their chromatic brethren. The Pentad seeks to eradicate any nation controlled by evil dragons, but they also strive to wipe out individual chromatics and their hoards to prevent any future injustice. Rarely, a metallic dragon might have vile plans that indicate its evil, but the Pentad seeks to convert them to the will of Io before killing them outright. If they refused to be turned, however, then the life of a copper or a mercury dragon is as forfeit as a red or black.

Although the five ancients of the Pentad are powerful, they cannot be in all places at once, and they seldom exhibit their full might on the battlefield. They have established an order of mortals to seek out and destroy lesser drakes, or band together an army to assault heavily fortified fortresses or even nations. This organization is called the Mithral Arms, because they labor to accomplish the will of the Pentad, and each member is infused with the power of their patrons. Riches, power, and influence mean nothing to a Mithral Arm, unless such means can directly aid the destruction of evil chromatic dragons. Woe to all who stand in the Mithral Arms’ way, because they carry the power of the Pentad with them.

MITHRAL ARM PATH FEATURES

Astral Knowledge (11th level): You gain an encounter attack power of 7th level or lower from your class. You cannot choose a power that you already know. At 21st level, you can replace this power with an encounter attack power of 13th level or lower from your class.

Divide the result of the check by 10 (round down). This determines the number of questions you can ask the dragon. The dragon answers yes or no questions only, and the dragon might withhold answers if the question has no bearing on the eradication of evil dragons. A question that results in no answer still counts against the total number available.

Mithral Arm Utility 12Prophetic Defense

You see your opponent’s attack before it happens and twist away.

Ninefold Master

"I have mastered a study of magic that was ancient when your kind were barbarians at our feet."

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, any arcane class, Draconic Spellcaster.

In ancient Arkhosia, arcane spellcasters studied the Ninefold Path, a way toward both arcane mastery and spiritual awakening. The steps along the path represent an increasing attunement to the draconic energies in the initiate’s being, a practice that unites the study of magic with the innate characteristics of the dragonborn race.

You are a master of the Ninefold Path, on your way toward arcane perfection as the scholars of Arkhosia understood it. Your dragon breath is another spell in your arsenal, and when you use spells that create the same elemental force as your breath, you demonstrate mastery over the magic that powers them.

NINEFOLD MASTER PATH FEATURES

Breath Expertise (11th level): Your dragon breath power is considered an arcane power belonging to each of your arcane classes. If you are wielding an implement you can use for your arcane powers, you may add the implement’s enhancement bonus to the damage rolls for your dragon breath power.

As a move action, you can move the zone 3 squares.

Sustain Minor: The zone persists.

Platinum Templar

"Each of us must choose a side, and why would any sane person choose the side of envy, vengeance, and greed?"

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, any divine class, must worship Bahamut

Many dragonborn who adopt divine classes follow Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon, but few study the esoteric disciplines of the Platinum Temple. This ancient shrine, located on a remote mountain peak that is said to straddle the boundary between the natural world and Bahamut’s domain in Celestia, teaches a particular form of mysticism that is unique to dragonborn, for its goal is to be increasingly formed into the likeness of Bahamut himself.

Through prayer and meditation, and more important through the rigorous discipline of walking a just and honest path through the world, you apply the teachings of the Platinum Temple to your life. You strive to think as Bahamut would and face every situation with his sense of righteousness and honor. At the same time, you train your body and channel divine power through it, until your scales begin to gleam with the silvery-white color of platinum. With time and further study, you learn to momentarily sprout great draconic wings, speak Supernal with Bahamut’s own authority, and breathe a billowing mist like the Platinum Dragon’s potent breath weapon.

Such power is meaningless, however, if you do not use it in service to Bahamut’s highest ideals.

PLATINUM TEMPLAR PATH FEATURES

Bahamut's Warding (11th level): When you use a Channel Divinity power, each ally within 2 squares of you gains a +2 bonus to all defenses until the end of your next turn.

Sustain Minor: The zone persists.

Scion of Arkhosia

"By the blood of Io, you will fall!"

Prerequisite: Dragonborn

Scions of Arkhosia are the descendants of the noble dragonborn heroes of the fallen empire of Arkhosia. In the years since that empire fell, its heirs have scattered across the world, their lineage and heritage confused or lost in the darkness of the present age. Most dragonborn spend their lives unaware of what sort of potential lies within them, but a few manage to awaken and master their hidden reserves of power.

You are one of these scions, and you have begun the long and arduous process of unlocking the power of your noble blood. Your ancestry places you closer to your dragon kin than other dragonborn are. As a result, you gain a greater mastery over your dragon breath, able to alter its substance at will.

The clearest sign of your noble heritage, though, is the draconic wings that begin to form on your back as soon as you adopt this paragon path. They take some time to grow strong and large enough to sustain short bursts of flight, but they mark you unmistakably as what you are: a hero of your people reborn.

SCION OF ARKHOSIA PATH FEATURES

Draconic Outburst (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an attack, each enemy adjacent to you takes damage equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier when you resolve the attack. This damage is the same type you initially chose for your dragon breath racial power.

Steelsky Liberator

"Death to all tyrants."

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, genasi, half-orc, or human

For ages your folk fought against the mighty dragon lords of Abeir. Although the catastrophe of the Spellplague broke the power of the draconic tyranny in some lands, others still suffer under the cruel talons and fell magic of dragonkind, both in Faerûn and Returned Abeir. You have vowed to free all those still enslaved by dragons, and to vigilantly defend free lands from the great wyrms.

Steelsky liberators draw upon the power of an ancient divine blessing granted to the mortals who suffered under dragons long ago. No one knows what god or being created this blessing, but over time it has grown stronger and stronger. Each mortal soul that suffers under draconic oppression lends the weight of its sorrow and outrage to this mystic force; the harder the Abeiran dragon lords tried to eradicate the liberators, the stronger they made their enemies.

Most steelsky liberators hail from Returned Abeir, since the oppression of ages of draconic rule still weighs heavily on those lands. However, some of these crusaders were among the dragonborn and genasi of Akanûl, Tymanther, and other lands transferred into Faerûn during the Spellplague. In the decades since, heroes from lands threatened by dragons have come to these Abeiran kingdoms to learn the secrets of defeating such powerful foes.

STEELSKY LIBERATOR PATH FEATURES

Draconic Enemy (11th level): You gain a +2 bonus to all your defenses against attack rolls by dragons.

Steelsky Heritage (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you regain the use of a racial encounter power if you have already expended it this encounter. If you are human, you gain a +1 bonus on all d20 rolls until the end of your next turn.

Liberator's Resolve (16th level): You gain a +5 bon us to saving throws against charm and fear effects.

Attack: Strength vs. Reflex

Hit: 4[W] + Strength modifier damage, and any allies within 10 squares of you under the influence of a charm or fear effect created by the target can make a saving throw, even if the effect is not normally one that a save can end.

Storm Dragon

"Dragons wheel in the winds of the cyclone and dive to earth with each flash of lightning."

Prerequisite: Dragonborn, any primal class, dragon breath power that deals lightning damage

Some dragons are like forces of nature, the elemental power coursing through their bodies akin to the mightiest forces of storm, earth, or sea. The catastrophic dragons embody the destructive forces of nature, but even the blue dragon is a living incarnation of the storm. Your mastery of primal magic has led you to this path: Like these dragons, the power of the storm flows in your blood and erupts in your breath.

Your allies in the spirit world are draconic spirits of wind, lightning, and thunder, heeding your call to rebuke your enemies, carry your allies on the wind, or transport you through the storm. As you advance on the path of the storm dragon, your appearance changes to reflect the nature spirits you commune with—you might develop the blue scales and prominent horn of a blue dragon, or something of the churning elemental appearance of a typhoon dragon. By the time you reach the end of the path, wings sprout from your back, and you fight with all the savagery of the storm dragon.

STORM DRAGON PATH FEATURES

Storm Spirit (11th level): You gain resist 10 lightning and resist 10 thunder.

Thundering Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an attack, you can push each target you hit with that attack a number of squares equal to your Charisma modifier and knock each target prone.

Storm Dragon Attack 20Dragon Storm

Your weapon is the thunder of the storm, and as you call upon it, clouds appear above you. Lightning strikes your foes, and the storm winds buffet enemies and allies alike, allowing you to position them as you please.

Daily Lightning, Primal, Thunder, Zone

Standard Action Close burst 2

Target: Each enemy in the burst

Attack: Strength + 6 vs. Fortitude

Hit: 3d8 + Strength modifier thunder damage.

Effect: The burst creates a zone that lasts until the end of the encounter. An enemy that starts its turn in the zone takes 10 lightning damage. Whenever a creature starts its turn in the zone, you can slide the creature 1 square as an immediate interrupt.

As a move action, you can move the zone 3 squares.

Drow

Curseborn

"We all inherit the sins of our ancestors; how we choose to deal with them in our time determines if we pass them along to our children."

Prerequisite: Drow

Each drow character is born into darkness and then burdened with the Corellon’s curse and Lolth’s blessing. The curse manifests in their enslavement to the Spider Queen, while the blessing represents the goddess’s filthy touch, a gift ensuring the drow remain in her service. Drow can use only a portion of Lolth’s power, manifesting it into clouds of darkness or limning their enemies with purple flame, but a few drow are powerful enough to expand their talents in other areas. These drow learn to unlock the hidden reserves of their curse and exploit them to achieve greater results.

As a curseborn, you have awakened hidden powers within you. Whether you believe these powers are further gifts granted to you by the Spider Queen or are a permutation of your existing abilities granted by Lolth’s touch, or even a revelation based on your efforts to find redemption, the results are the same. Your Lolthtouched powers are intensified, your darkness is alive with umbral strands of shadow, and your ability to create darkfire is magnified to encompass to affect a number of enemies. In addition, you also learn methods of using Lolth’s gifts in superior ways, from burning your foes with the flames of darkness to sliding into the Shadowfell to cloak your body with tendrils of darkness.

Your evolution into a curseborn results in a subtle transformation that is unnoticeable except when you are using your curseborn or Lolthtouched powers. Each time you tap into these abilities, your bright eyes flare, casting your face into ghastly shadows, while tiny black spiders composed of living shadow scurry off to vanish into puffs of acrid smoke. None of these features interferes with your other abilities, but drow recognize you as being kissed by the Spider Queen.

CURSEBORN PATH FEATURES

Clinging Shadows (11th level): In addition to its normal effects, the area of your cloud of darkness power is also difficult terrain for all creatures except you.

Curseborn Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you regain the use of one of your Lolthtouched powers you have already expended this encounter.

Curseborn Utility 12Drow Shadow Stride

Shadows cloak your body as you step partly into the Shadowfell so that you can move with astonishing speed.

Three spheres of violet light appear next to your target, drawing their attention and luring them to their doom.

Attack: Intelligence +4 vs. Will, Wisdom +4 vs. Will, or Charisma +4 vs. Will

Increase to +6 bonus at 21st level.

Sustain Minor: You can sustain this power until the end of the encounter.

Special: This power uses the same ability score as the one you selected for your darkfire power.

Dread Fang

"You’re caught in my web of shadows, poor little insect. Now it’s time to die."

Prerequisite: Drow, rogue

Deceive your prey into a weak tactical position. Strike without being seen. Kill without allowing a counterattack. Don’t sever a limb when you can cut off the head. Reward your enemies with death so horrifying that all others fear to oppose you. Live to fight again. All of these are drow rules of warfare, which young drow learn well just to get by in their treacherous society.

The drow are famous for slaughter, murdering all who get in their way. Countless folk have suffered the cruel kiss of a drow priestess’s whip or the vile magic of a drow warlock. Innumerable slaves have lived and died as the wicked and capricious whims of their drow masters demanded. From this world you have come, and like others before you, you have found sanctuary in the arts of death. You learned the rudiments of drow warfare among your school-age peers. You mastered the blade-and-crossbow fighting style of the drow warrior to improve your station among your people. Better to be a valued killer than a slave or a sacrifice.

Maybe you smelled the deceptions and half-truths in your society, put up with the lies of the Spider Queen, until you could take no more. Perhaps the internecine warfare between drow houses left you without allies in the vast Underdark. You abandoned your past. Estranged from your homeland, you joined with other wanderers and continued your training. You have sought to become death incarnate and have succeeded well beyond the normal warriors of your people.

DREAD FANG PATH FEATURES

Dread Sneak Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to make an attack against a target granting combat advantage to you, you can deal Sneak Attack damage even if you have already dealt Sneak Attack damage during this round.

Drow Wanderer

"This darkness is my home, and you should not have come here."

Prerequisite: Drow, trained in Dungeoneering

The Underdark is a terror to most surface folk. Flesheating fungi carpet the walls, bizarre monstrosities lurk in the dark, and whole civilizations of evil flourish in the sunless depths. To you, this is home. You know the twisting tunnels of the Underdark intimately. Every bend in every cavern and every corner in every dungeon is your ally, allowing you to creep close to your foe. You are the hunter in the dark, and you strike from the shadows before your foe ever senses danger.

You have little use for the rest of your kind. While you test your skill in the wilds of the dark, other drow wallow in decadence and cruelty in their cities. You’ve honed the magical abilities of your heritage with long practice, and now the power that flows through your blood is far greater than theirs. You walk the darkness free, while they remain ensorcelled in Lolth’s slavish snares.

Dwarf

Dwarven Defender

"The wrath of Hell can’t move me, but I can hammer you into place!"

Prerequisite: Dwarf, fighter

Your people defied the titans and giants. Unity has sustained them, and tenaciousness has upheld them; traditions preserving these values serve them well. They stand unmoved and unconquered, like the mountains, against orcs and goblins and dragons.

Dwarf soldiers are unmatched in their fighting prowess and loyalty to one another. War stories hold that a single dwarf foot soldier is the match of any two warriors of another race and the same skill. Two such soldiers are worth five similarly skilled enemies. When the enemy forces are composed of little more than savages, dwarven armies break them like stone channels water.

All the institutions of dwarven society have soldiers loyal to the cause. Doughty fighters serve king or lord, guild or business, deity or church, or a simple creed. A few serve the almighty coin, selling their time and axes for wealth. Time-honored fighting techniques teach a dwarf warrior to use his or her racial abilities to the fullest and to use fine weapons and heavy armor. When the dogs of war are loosed, dwarf soldiers hold the line.

You are a master of dwarven fighting arts, relying on loyal allies as much as your own courage and resilience. Your expertise lies in defensive maneuvers and battle-line tactics. You know how to take advantage of holes in enemy lines. Allies come to rely on you as the center of the squad. They take heart in your steadfastness and your ability to break the defenses of your enemies.

Earthheart Defender

"The stone is strong. It does not yield. Nor do I."

Prerequisite: Dwarf fighter or dwarf paladin

Evil festers everywhere, and the earth needs defenders to keep back the tide of corruption. You are the shield against the onslaught, the hammer that breaks the tyrant’s blade, the axe that sunders the slave’s shackles, and the fist that crushes evil wherever it shows its vile face. For the source of your power, you look to the stone beneath your feet. You draw upon its sacred power to scatter your foes, and throw off the pain of a hundred wounds.

Implacable as the earth itself, you cannot be broken. A boulder might be sundered, but it cannot be destroyed, and even if it is ground to sand it has merely traded the one for the many. You and your allies are all hewn from the same rock. You are one, even if you are many, and their life is your own. You never allow another to harm an ally unanswered, and you would gladly give yourself to death to keep a friend from danger.

The power of stone is in your heart, allowing you to fight harder than any foe could ever anticipate and stay standing long after lesser heroes would have fallen. With your feet firmly on the ground you cannot be bested. All who tread upon the sacred stones of this world best do so lightly, for if they sully the earth with evil, you’ll find them and make them pay.

EARTHHEART DEFENDER PATH FEATURES

Earthheart Determination (11th level): When you use an action point to take an extra action, you can immediately make saving throws against two different effects that a save can end.

Firstborn of Moradin

"My strength is the eternal endurance of the mountains. I will not break."

Prerequisite: Dwarf

At the dawn of creation, dwarven myths say, Moradin made the race of dwarves. His firstborn had bones cut from bedrock, souls wrought from iron, and hearts carved of gleaming diamonds. These firstborn were the models after which all other dwarves were patterned.

Although the firstborn of Moradin’s making vanished in servitude to the giants, their fighting techniques and mystical traditions have not been lost. A new era of dwarven heroism has arrived, and the legacy of the firstborn continues. Those few who most skillfully follow the paths of the ancient firstborn are slowly transformed into the image of Moradin’s firstborn.

As one of the present-day firstborn of Moradin, you forge a deep connection with the earth, tapping into the power that courses through the bedrock beneath your feet. You draw on the strength of the mountains to resist injury, expand your senses through rock and stone, and root yourself in the bones of the earth. You are the stuff new legends are made of.

FIRSTBORN OF MORADIN PATH FEATURES

Stonebones (11th level): Whenever you take a critical hit, roll a d20. If you roll 10 or higher, the critical hit turns into a normal hit.

Strength of the Earth (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you can also spend a healing surge.

Standard Action Melee weapon

Target: One creature

Stone Keeper

"Memory, like stone, lasts forever."

Prerequisite: Dwarf, cleric, trained in History

Dwarves have long memories. They strengthen their recollections by retelling stories passed down since the dark days of their enslavement to giants. Preserving these tales is the responsibility of the stone keepers, dwarves chosen for their wisdom and commitment to history. These stone fathers and mothers, as they are sometimes called, chisel stories into shrine walls and temple domes to give their history a physical presence, making them part of the architecture and wonder of dwarven cities.

As a stone keeper, you concern yourself with the past, but you are not simply a scholar. You are a holy champion who draws strength from your fury over all the wrongs ever committed against your people, bringing it to bear against foes who still threaten your race. When dwarven strongholds are in danger, you are the first to unite the clans against the enemy. You also travel widely, visiting ruined dwarven kingdoms and city-states to learn their fates and to exact vengeance when it is deserved.

Your views and beliefs encompass all of history and the place your people occupy in it. You harbor a deep-seated, smoldering anger born of ancient wrongs and long centuries of grief. Your prayers focus this anger into your attacks.

Eladrin

Azure Guard

"Corellon warns us that the Banished Darkness will one day return. When this day comes, the enemy will find us ready, and we will throw them back into the abyss from which they came."

Prerequisite: Eladrin or elf, must worship Corellon

Lolth’s return and a resumption of the disastrous war that nearly shattered the elven peoples cast a terrible shadow across Corellon’s priesthood. Anticipating this event, the elders formed the Azure Guard who would one day serve as the principle leaders in repelling Lolth’s demonic forces. The warriors combine prayers to Corellon with secret arcane spells to achieve the edge they need to overcome their enemies. Azure Guard members do not advertise their special status lest they invite assassins to strike at them. One cannot join the Azure Guard without invitation, and even those called to serve in its esteemed ranks may find themselves unequal to the demands the training makes.

While the aura is active, you can use the secondary power at will.

Blade Banshee

"That hum is the sound of your death approaching."

Prerequisite: Eladrin, ranger

The Feywild sings with eldritch energy. It is infused with magic from its twilight sky to its sparkling depths. Fey creatures, its children, are bathed in its supernatural flow. Even the simplest among them have powers beyond those of worldly mortals, bestowing simple tasks with an otherworldly enchantment.

Eladrin are among the heritors of the Feywild’s nature. As humans and other races tamed portions of the world, so too did the eladrin subdue parts of the Feywild according to their fey temperament. They evolved a complex society, rich in crafts and traditions that also sing in concordance with the Feywild. As followers of mores inspired in elder days by the god Corellon, eladrin treat life and all its aspects as an art. Everything they do, wonderful or wicked, reflects this ideal.

Like their counterparts in the world, eladrin have had to fight and die to defend their way of life. Each eladrin learns to wield the longsword, the traditional weapon of the eladrin people. They have martial disciplines that teach an eladrin to channel the innate magic in his or her spirit, as well as that stored within the elements.

A blade from the Feywild or crafted by eladrin hands has a special beauty. The metal vibrates with bizarre potential. Some eladrin learn to make steel shaped into such a blade sing its heart’s song. That song is a fey cry that portends loss of life, and those who wield it are known across the cosmos as blade banshees.

Over the years, you’ve developed a terrifying synergy with your blades. You understand the secret heart of fey-crafted steel. Its unmistakable, dread voice announces your displeasure. As you fight, your blades buzz and keen, unleashing rending vibrations against your foes. But when your soul is bent to friendship or mercy, your swords hum with your own gentleness, briefly bringing a bit of peace to others before shrieking into battle once again.

BLADE BANSHEE PATH FEATURES

Banshee's Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action while wielding two melee weapons, any enemy adjacent to you takes thunder damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.

Blade of Cendriane

"That which consumed my homeland will find me a much more dangerous, much less palatable meal."

Prerequisite: Eladrin, ranger

The ancient empire of Cendriane left ruined cities when it fell long ago, but these remnants are not the only legacy of the eladrin kingdom. A group of rangers remains in the service of the lost empire, surviving in the borderlands of the once-great realm.

You are a descendant of the survivors of Cendriane’s mysterious cataclysm, or you have been tutored in the martial secrets of that realm. You have perfected the use of fey step and the art of double-wielding longswords. The Cendriane sword style has pushed you to explore the boundaries of your heritage and expand upon the eladrins’ innate magic. This self-knowledge combined with your blade mastery makes you a transient adversary on the battlefield, disappearing and reappearing as necessary.

Bralani Wintersoul

"I am the winter storm, the screaming blizzard, and the blinding snow."

Prerequisite: Eladrin

Nobility to the eladrin people is more than status—it is an investiture of power granted by the archfey in exchange for binding oaths and devotion. The eladrin refer to their nobles by many titles, and one traveling in their circles is bound to encounter coure, novier, firre, and others. Each title reflects a particular pact and the magical power gained as a result. The bralani are eladrin nobles who bind themselves to those archfey associated with nature, the seasons, and storms. The power they wield allows them to harness elements and make them their own.

You are a noble eladrin, having earned your greater standing through a pact made with the Winter Court. While the Winter Court expects you to serve it, the archfey rarely call in their debts. Thus you are free to pursue your own agenda as long as it is not at odds with your patron. You can harness winter’s power, weaving its wild magical energy into devastating attacks. Your connection to winter triggers other changes. Your skin becomes cold to the touch, your features assume a blue hue, and the air around you holds winter’s chill.

BRALANI WINTERSOUL PATH FEATURES

Seldarine Dedicate

"Corellon guide my heart, Sehanine my arrow."

Prerequisite: Elf or eladrin, cleric, proficiency with longbow or shortbow

The Seldarine, the fellowship of brothers and sisters of the woods, comprises Corellon, Sehanine, and the other gods and exarchs who dwell in the dominion of Arvandor. Revered by elves and eladrin alike, these gods watch over and protect their favored scions. Elf and eladrin clerics often worship one or another of the Seldarine, but a few pay homage to the whole, drawing their power from Arvandor’s combined wisdom.

As a Seldarine dedicate, you occupy a high position within your temples. You and the few others like you enjoy a broader connection to the gods of Arvandor than other clerics do, and you know methods for communing with them. You draw a bow as readily as you raise your holy symbol to focus your prayers.

Your weapon is inscribed with sigils and runes, which flare with emerald light when you fire a shot with a whispered prayer.

SELDARINE DEDICATE PATH FEATURES

Honor the Bow (11th level): You can use a longbow or a shortbow as an implement for your cleric or Seldarine dedicate implement powers. When you use an implement power through a longbow or a shortbow, you add the weapon’s enhancement bonus, if any, to the power’s attack rolls and damage rolls, but you don’t use the weapon’s proficiency bonus. If you score a critical hit with a magic longbow or shortbow when using it as an implement, you use the weapon’s critical hit effect.

Renewing Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to take an extra action, you also gain an extra use of your healing word power for this encounter.

Footsteps of the Gods (16th level): When you use a cleric or a Seldarine dedicate implement power, you can use a free action to shift 1 square before or after using that power.

Shiere Knight

"By the court of the Summer Queen, you shall pay for your transgressions!"

Prerequisite: Eladrin

Most noble eladrin, including bralani and ghaeles such as those described in the Monster Manual, are prominent figures in their houses, lords and ladies who have positions of authority over the lesser members of their houses. A few eladrin heroes, however, champion the cause of their race as a whole, rather than of any particular house. Though they are often anointed by house nobles, these shiere knights are free agents, beholden to no particular house and dedicated to protecting the eladrin from fomorians, spriggans, and other hostile denizens of the Feywild.

Becoming a shiere knight involves more than attaining a title. As a champion of your race, you become a living embodiment of the power of the Feywild. Your appearance is marked by a sign of the fey power within you: a faint glow that outlines your frame and burns in your eyes, an eldritch wind that constantly stirs the air around you, or some other manifestation of your otherworldly nature. You can channel this power to beguile your foes or drive them off in fear.

SHIERE KNIGHT PATH FEATURES

Blessed of the Fey (11th level): Whenever you are affected by a charm effect that a save can end, you can make a saving throw against the effect at the start of your turn. If you don’t save, you can make another saving throw against the effect at the end of your turn.

Fey Leap Action (11th level): You can spend an action point to teleport 10 squares, instead of taking an extra action.

Spiral Tactician

"The circle of my fey steps encompasses one center—victory."

Prerequisite: Eladrin, warlord, Tactical Presence class feature

The Feywild, home of the eladrin, is a wondrous reflection of the world. Within that plane, beauty thrives that defies the worldly mind, but so too does evil. Eladrin are as prone to wickedness as humans are, and in a bygone age, the drow were also natives of the Feywild.

In a time long before other great empires, eladrin faithful to Corellon fought bitter wars within the Feywild against the followers of Lolth and other evil fey. These wars culminated in what came to be known as the Last Battle of the Spiral Tower. During that clash, the Corellon loyalists finally turned the tide and a hero was born.

Ossandrya was an eladrin squad commander when the Last Battle of the Spiral Tower began. Drow and demons had taken the mythic site during a protracted battle that saw the eladrin fighting on many fronts. Several fruitless assaults on the enemy-held tower cost Ossandrya’s superiors their lives. With reinforcements unavailable, the eladrin commander was forced to lead the remaining troops against the drow. She devised a multipronged attack that utilized the eladrin’s fey step, taking the biggest risks on herself and having no regard for the tower’s ultimate fate. In the end, Ossandrya’s efforts proved successful. Although the Spiral Tower was reduced to a blackened spindle bereft of magic, the eladrin drove the drow out for good.

In time, the Spiral Tower was rebuilt. Ossandrya, who survived other campaigns that drove the drow out of the Feywild, eventually passed from the mortal realm. She is counted among legendary warlords. Within the ruins of the Spiral Tower, her story is recorded. Eladrin warriors across the Feywild study her brilliant strategies and tactics, many of which require fey powers.

You have studied Ossandrya’s story and schemes, or you have intuited similar ploys thanks to your fey nature. It could be that some combination of these possibilities influenced your course in life. You have a strongly tactical mind, a sharp sense of space and timing, and the ability to adapt your powers to tactical needs. These aptitudes serve you well in your battles, leading you toward the acclaim Ossandrya has long possessed.

Prerequisite: Eladrin or elf, must worship Corellon

Lolth’s return and a resumption of the disastrous war that nearly shattered the elven peoples cast a terrible shadow across Corellon’s priesthood.

The warriors combine prayers to Corellon with secret arcane spells to achieve the edge they need to overcome their enemies.

Prerequisite: Dusk Elf Stealth feat

Gloaming guardians protect their communities from intruders and occasional trespassers, but even the barrier they create cannot catch all who prowl their lands. Should their communities come under attack, the dusk elves flee, vowing vengeance on those who wrong them. The darkening blades embody the vengeance they swear and to them the dusk elves turn to destroy their enemies.

As a darkening blade, you have mastered a secret fighting style perfected through generations spent in exile.

Prerequisite: Half-elf, bard

Your inborn empathy and acquired diplomatic skill allow you to fit into nearly any society—if not as someone who has always lived there, then at least as a trusted friend. By understanding many kinds of people and creatures, you learn how to protect them—or fight them, if need be.

When things turn rough, you can use your knowledge of other creatures to your advantage in a fight. The more foes that try to stop you, the better you can tangle their swords and spells, confounding their attempts to hurt you.

You have a trick that none of your enemies expect you to have. It has come in handy time and again, making you wonder what other skills you might learn to further confound your foes.

You begin by practicing your trick to make it more powerful and even faster to perform. Eventually, you realize that your allies provide instruction in a variety of ways. Some might call what you do imitation, but that barely scratches the surface of the relationship you have with your allies. You can become one of your allies, if only for a moment, and use his or her power as your own. Only the choice of allies you keep around you limits your range of options, and you can take advantage of each ally’s strengths to defeat your common foes.

Keeper of the Past

"My patron ancestor speaks through me, and her words do not bode well for you."

Prerequisite: Elf; bard, shaman, or warlord; must worship the Spirits of the Past

At the birth of every Valenar child, a Keeper of the Past is present to determine the ancestor spirit destined to guide that individual through life. At the end of every Valenar life, a Keeper of the Past judges the deeds of the deceased and ensures that particularly worthy elves are immortalized in history. In this way the Keepers of the Past lead the Valenar from the day of their birth until the day of their death. No matter the power they wield, all Keepers worship and draw upon the power of revered patron ancestors, known collectively as the Spirits of the Past. The key difference between them is not their power source so much as they way in which they draw upon that power. Shamans tend to have a personal connection with a patron ancestor (the shaman is often a direct descendant). Warlords lead by example—putting the advice imparted by ancestor spirits into practice on the battlefield. Bards inspire those around them to emulate the greatest deeds of ancient heroes. Regardless of the exact means by which you do it, as a Keeper of the Past you commune with and channel the advice, guidance, and sometimes direct power of the Spirits of the Past.

Seldarine Dedicate

"Corellon guide my heart, Sehanine my arrow."

Prerequisite: Elf or eladrin, cleric, proficiency with longbow or shortbow

The Seldarine, the fellowship of brothers and sisters of the woods, comprises Corellon, Sehanine, and the other gods and exarchs who dwell in the dominion of Arvandor. Revered by elves and eladrin alike, these gods watch over and protect their favored scions. Elf and eladrin clerics often worship one or another of the Seldarine, but a few pay homage to the whole, drawing their power from Arvandor’s combined wisdom.

As a Seldarine dedicate, you occupy a high position within your temples. You and the few others like you enjoy a broader connection to the gods of Arvandor than other clerics do, and you know methods for communing with them. You draw a bow as readily as you raise your holy symbol to focus your prayers.

Your weapon is inscribed with sigils and runes, which flare with emerald light when you fire a shot with a whispered prayer.
