the DMG and new ones designed<br />

specifically for this seing. For a<br />

complete list, see the <strong>SpirosBlaak</strong><br />

Prestige Classes sidebar.<br />

Arcane Archer<br />

As elves themselves are quite rare<br />

in the Archduchy, arcane archers<br />

are even scarcer. Foreign military<br />

colleges beyond the boundaries<br />

of <strong>SpirosBlaak</strong>, and a few within<br />

the Archduchy itself, use the<br />

arcane archers as a loy example<br />

of unequalled bowmanship when<br />

trying to turn raw trainees into<br />

marksmen.<br />

Archmage<br />

Archmagi are a thorn in the side of<br />

the See of Spiros. Several operate<br />

in Vas as leaders in the arcane<br />

underground working to overturn<br />

the prejudicial laws against wizardry and smuggle out “witches”<br />

from beneath the watchful eyes of the Inquisition of Swords. Others<br />

throughout the Archduchy hold varied positions in society, ranging<br />

from trusted advisor, to master smith of enchanted weaponry, or even<br />

teacher at the Basilica of Cinnoldis.<br />

Assassin<br />

Assassin players are free to use either the assassin prestige class from<br />

the DMG or the assassin base class from Green Ronin’s Assassin’s<br />

Handbook. If the laer, see page 80 for details on adapting the assassin<br />

class to this seing.<br />

Askalanian Academician<br />

In Askalan, a brotherhood of scholars dedicated to the pursuit of<br />

magical knowledge exists; a group so devoted to their studies most<br />

people believe them to be clerics of Logothos. The academicians, who<br />

may or may not have spellcasting backgrounds, study the documents<br />

of both arcane and divine spellcasters, learning how to read them,<br />

copy them, and release their magic.<br />

The academicians of Askalan rarely travel further than a few blocks<br />

from the Grand Library, and fewer still choose to take their quest for<br />

erudition to the world beyond the city’s walls.<br />

Hit Die: d4.<br />

Requirements<br />

To qualify to become an Askalanian Academician, a character must<br />

fulfill all the following criteria.<br />

Alignment: Any non-chaotic.<br />

Skills: Knowledge (any four) 8 ranks, Profession (scribe) 3 ranks.<br />

Feats: Savant* and either Skill Focus (any Knowledge) or Skill<br />

Focus (Profession [scribe]).<br />

*This new feat is described in Chapter Ten: Skills & Feats.<br />

Special: The character must have studied in the Grand Library of<br />

Zoetha in Askalan as an apprentice for at least five years. To retain his<br />

abilities, the academician must return to the library for a total of two<br />

months out of every year for intense study and research.<br />

Class Skills<br />

The Askalanian academician’s class skills (and the key ability for each<br />

skill) are Appraise (Int), Concentration (Con), Cra (Int), Decipher<br />

Script (Int), Forgery (Int), Gather Information (Cha), all Knowledge<br />

Class Features<br />

All the following are class features of the Askalanian academician<br />

prestige class.<br />

Weapon and Armor Proficiency<br />

Askalanian academicians gain no proficiency in weapons or armor.<br />

Read Magic (Sp)<br />

Starting at 1st level, an Askalanian academician can always read<br />

magic as the spell. This ability may be dispelled, but the Askalanian<br />

academician can activate it as a free action on her next turn.<br />

Sage lore (Ex)<br />

A 1st-level Askalanian academician is intimately familiar with the<br />

Grand Library of Zoetha. Whenever an academician is called upon to<br />
