Info

Beast Command (Ex): A young adult Son of Shivanos develops a rapport with worgs. This ability functions just like a Diplomacy check to improve the aitude of a person. The Son of Shivanos rolls 1d20 and adds his Hit Dice and levels and his Charisma bonus (if any) to determine the check result. Worgs automatically begin as unfriendly. To use beast command, the Son of Shivanos and the worg must be able to study each other, which means that they must be within 30 feet of one another under normal visibility conditions. Generally, influencing a worg in this way takes one minute, but, as with influencing people, it might take more or less time. If the Son of Shivanos improves the worgs aitude to friendly or beer, the worg becomes a loyal companion. A Son of Shivanos can have one worg ally for every 4 Hit Dice he has. Rage (Ex): The Son of Shivanos may go into a ferocious rage. This ability works exactly like the barbarian class feature as described in the PHB. If the Son of Shivanos can already rage, such as having levels in the barbarian class, this feature allows the Son to rage one additional time per day. War Frenzy (Su): The Son may channel the genocidal madness of Shivanos into his troops, forcing all allied orcs within 15 feet to aempt a Will save (DC 10 + one-half the Son’s HD or character levels). Failure indicates that the subject succumbs to the frenzy and rages as per a barbarian of a level equal to the orc’s Hit Dice. Special Qualities: A Son of Shivanos retains all the special qualities of the base creature and gains the following special qualities based on age category.

Its body is covered in scales except for small tus of hair around its shoulders and hindquarters. Its claws and fangs shine with a silver hue. Believed to have been mystically created and bred by the Church of Spiros shortly aer Vas’ near destruction by the Witch Lords, shelzeen are hunters of kav and arcane spellcasters. They are highly sought, with buyers willing to pay exorbitant amounts to acquire these beasts. The Dark Riders and witchfinders of Vas are both known to keep large kennels of shelzeen to aid in their hunts. Combat A shelzeen uses its tail to trip its foe before leaping upon it to tear with fangs and claws. Huge Construct Hit Dice: 20d10+30 (140 hp) Initiative: –2 Speed: 20 .

The armored visor of the war golem’s head can rise up, revealing a mouth-like tube from which billowing flames spill forth. Built with the proportions of a dwarf, a war golem is about as broad in the shoulders as it is tall. Perhaps the most noticeable characteristic of the war golem, aside from its immense greataxe, is the large, multi-faceted, pulsating green crystal resting squarely in its torso, its foreboding green light echoed in the glow of its eyes. The enchanted crystal is the construct’s fuel source and its controlling intelligence, the gem containing the soul of a dwarf who dies during the golem’s construction. The ritual to infuse the crystal with a dwarven soul instills the best aspects of the volunteer’s Chapter Six: Monsters of the Archduchy Silvered Natural Weapons (Ex): A shelzeen’s claws and fangs are made of solid, durable silver. For the purpose of overcoming damage reduction, the shelzeen’s natural aacks count as silver. Tail Trip (Ex): Instead of using its tail to make a damaging aack, a shelzeen can opt to trip its foe with a +2 competence bonus to the trip aempt. If the aempt fails, the target doesn’t then get to try tripping the shelzeen if the laer has all four of its paws on the ground. If the trip succeeds, the shelzeen may make an immediate aack of opportunity with its bite aack. Limited Telepathy (Su): Shelzeen may communicate with telepathy, but only among themselves, allowing them to coordinate their aacks with deadly precision. Track Arcane (Su): Shelzeen have the benefit of an uncanny magical sense, allowing them to track by sensing the magical residue le by spellcasters or creatures with spell-like and supernatural abilities. When using the Track feat to follow one of these types of creatures, a shelzeen can move at half its normal speed without penalty, or up to twice its normal speed with only a –10 penalty. In addition, it gains a +6 racial bonus to Survival checks made to track these kinds of prey. War Golem personality into the machine: his loyalty, courage, and devotion to his people. Thus those chosen to animate war golems are oen heroic warriors in their twilight years, although in times of great peril dwarves who are still in the prime of their lives have also been selected. Unfortunately, the ritual strips away the dwarf’s memories, leaving the controlling intelligence of the war golem with a base personality capable of doing as it is told for the defense of its people but not much else. There are, however, unconfirmed tales of war golems who regained their lost memories and personality, in part, or entirely. When not needed for the defense of their race, these powerful machines are oen sequestered, inert, in vaulted armories or other hiding places until needed. Sometimes great tragedies wipe out entire cities and strongholds before the war golems can be awakened and called to arms, leaving them in their unknowing slumber until someone unwiingly wakes them. Combat A war golem fights intelligently, surging forward to engage in melee, pretending to be an unthinking machine. When its opponents are suitably fooled, it unleashes its breath weapon, and against those who survive, it chops with its enormous weapon or pummels with its sphere hurlers. Breath Weapon (Su): A war golem can breath a 25-foot cone of fire, up to three times per day, dealing 10d10 points of fire damage. Reflex DC 20 halves. The save DC is Constitution-based. Sphere Hurlers (Su): On each side of the golem’s chest, mounted on the large shoulder plates, are 3-inch diameter iron spheres half buried in the construct’s armor. Every four rounds the golem can fire one or both spheres with a thunderous, smoking boom. The spheres have a 10-foot range increment, and count as magical and adamantine weapons for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction. If a sphere reduces a target to 0 or lower hit points, the sphere continues on its path to aack any targets in a line from the war golem, beyond the initial victim. The sphere continues until it misses or does not reduce a target to 0 hit points. Each aack aer the first takes a –5 penalty to the aack roll, in addition to any range penalties. Limited Regeneration (Su): A mending spell repairs 1 point of damage to either the metal form or soul crystal for every three levels of its caster. A make whole spell repairs 2d6 points of damage.
