Power Points/Day A 3rd-level Gavrinn Farr can manifest powers. His ability to manifest powers is limited by the power points he has available. His base daily allotment of power points is given on Table 9–2: The Gavrinn Farr. In addition, he receives bonus power points per day if he has a high Wisdom score (see the Ability Modifiers and Bonus Power Points table in the Psionics Handbook). His race may also provide bonus power points each day, as may certain feats and items. If a Gavrinn Farr has power points from a different class, his points are pooled together and usable to manifest powers from either class. Bonus power points from having a high ability score can be gained only for the character’s highest psionic class. Powers Known A Gavrinn Farr chooses his powers from the psychic warrior power list. At 3rd level, a Gavrinn Farr knows one psychic warrior power of your choice. Each time he aains a new level, he learns one new power. A Gavrinn Farr can manifest any power that has a power point cost equal to or lower than his manifester level. The total number of powers a Gavrinn Farr can manifest per day is limited only by his daily power points. A Gavrinn Farr simply knows his powers; they are ingrained in his mind. He does not need to prepare them (in the way that some spellcasters prepare their spells), although he must get a good night’s sleep each day to regain all his spent power points. The Difficulty Class for saving throws against Gavrinn Farr powers is 10 + the power’s level + the Gavrinn Farr’s Wisdom modifier. Maximum Power Level Known A Gavrinn Farr gains the ability to learn one 1st-level power when he takes his 3rd level in the prestige class. As he aains each new odd-numbered class level, a Gavrinn Farr is able to master a power of a higher level: a 2nd-level power at 5th level, a 3rd-level power at 7th level, and a 4th-level power at 9th level. To learn or manifest a power, a Gavrinn Farr must have a Wisdom score of at least 10 + the power’s level. Mord’oi Throwing (Su) At 3rd-level, a Gavrinn Farr may throw his mord’oi at multiple targets as a full-round action. He may make a ranged aack at as many separate targets as he has Gavrinn Farr levels by using his mind to direct the weapon from one target to the next, spending 1 power point per target. Each target requires a separate aack roll (with each additional target at a –2 penalty) with all the relevant bonuses and penalties (including range). The mord’oi may not travel a total distance greater than its usual range limitation. A Gavrinn Farr may expend an additional power point to aempt a DC 15 Dexterity check to return the weapon to his hand. Mord’oi Channeling (Su) At 5th level and higher, a Gavrinn Farr may expend his psionic focus to draw latent psionic energy from his mord’oi, gain enough power points for a free augmentation for any power he knows (he need not spend the additional power point cost to augment a particular power once; other augmentations above the free one carry the normal power point cost). This ability only functions on powers with augmentations. For example, a Gavrinn Farr with compression could expend his psionic focus to augment any of the following: decrease his size by two categories, manifest the power as a swi action, or extend the duration to 1 minute per level. For details on the psionic focus, see Concentration in Chapter Three: Skills & Feats in the Psionics Handbook. Chapter Nine: Prestige Classes 95 Mighty Blow (Su) At 7th level, a Gavrinn Farr may expend his psionic focus and spend 2 power points to double the damage from his mord’oi aack. He must declare use of this ability prior to the aack roll. If the aack fails, the psionic focus and power points are still spent. On a critical hit, the Gavrinn Farr’s aack deals triple damage instead. Warrior Mind (Su) At 10th-level, a Gavrinn Farr unarmed or wielding a mord’oi may expend his psionic focus to enter a combat state of united mind, soul, and body. While in this state, the Gavrinn Farr is immune to fear, charm, and compulsion effects, he may not be caught flatfooted, and he gains power resistance equal to 10 + his class levels + his Wisdom bonus (if any). While in the trance, he must spend 1 power point each round to maintain it. Hierophant The most influential hierophants are those representing Spiros. Possessing both great divine and political power, Spiros’ hierophants can climb high in the See’s hierarchy. Hierophants of other faiths also have clout dwarfing lesser priests of their following, although even they don’t rival the servants of Spiros. Druidic hierophants are rare by comparison and stay away from the cities where their beliefs and abilities draw scorn and persecution. Horizon Walker There are a number of archivist and explorer societies throughout the Archduchy employing and counting horizon walkers amongst their number. Horizon walkers’ gis make these wanderers ideally suited for scouring wilderness, especially to locate and plumb ruins for lost lore. These same talents also make horizon walkers exceptional scouts and trailblazers, and they are much sought aer by the legions and Sentinels of the Homeguard. Kavslayer In areas infested with lycanthropes, the kavslayer defends civilization. He learns to detect lycanthropes in disguise, and by studying the different werecreature species he can take advantage of their weaknesses and turn their talents into combat liabilities. Although powerful, as an option for player characters this class may be too limited in scope. Even in the <strong>SpirosBlaak</strong> seing, unless the GM’s campaign features lycanthropes as a major, continuing menace, chances are a player won’t find much use for its abilities. Perhaps the best way to use this class is as a recurring villain or rival for any lycanthrope PCs within the party. A werebear druid may have to face the villain who destroyed his lodge, while a weretiger might hunt down the treacherous spy that killed one of his siblings. Evil organizations in the campaign will recruit kavslayers as bodyguards or assassins if the party is known to include a shapeshier. Hit Die: d8. Requirements To qualify to become a kavslayer, a character must fulfill all the following criteria. Base Aack Bonus: +5. Skills: Survival 8 ranks. Favored Enemy: Humanoid (shapechanger). Special: The character must have stalked and killed a lycanthrope without aid from any other person.
96 Class Skills The kavslayer class skills (and the key ability for each) are Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Cra (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Heal (Wis), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (dungeoneering) (Int), Knowledge (geography) (Int), Knowledge (nature) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), and Use Rope (Dex). See Chapter Four: Skills in the PHB for skill descriptions. Skill Points at Each Level: 6 + Int modifier. Class Features All of the following are class features of the kavslayer prestige class. Weapon and Armor Proficiency Kavslayers gain no proficiency with weapons or armor. Discerning Sight (Ex) Kavslayers study creatures in their natural habitats to the point that they can discern the adopted mannerisms and motions of a shapechanger or a person wearing a disguise. At 1st level, they can notice a shapechanger, regardless of its form, or a creature whose shape has been changed by magic with a successful DC 20 Spot check. In addition, kavslayers gain a +4 competence bonus on all Spot checks opposed by Disguise checks. Favored Enemy (Ex) Starting at 2nd level, the kavslayer’s experience with lycanthropes increases. She gains the favored enemy ability, applicable to shapechangers only, adding the additional +2 to all relevant skill checks and weapon damage rolls against these creatures. Every three levels thereaer, she gains an additional +2 bonus. For full details describing the favored enemy class feature, consult the Ranger in Chapter Three: Classes in the PHB. Lycanthropy Immunity (Ex) A 3rd or higher-level kavslayer is immune to lycanthropy. Chapter Nine: Prestige Classes Table 9–3: Kavslayer Base Aack Fort Ref Will Level Bonus Save Save Save Special 1st +1 +2 +0 +0 Discerning sight 2nd +2 +3 +0 +0 1st favored enemy 3rd +3 +3 +1 +1 Lycanthropy immunity 4th +4 +4 +1 +1 Vulnerable strike 5th +5 +4 +1 +1 2nd favored enemy 6th +6 +5 +2 +2 Scent of the beast 7th +7 +5 +2 +2 Canny wrestler 8th +8 +6 +2 +2 3rd favored enemy 9th +9 +6 +3 +3 Precision strike 10th +10 +7 +3 +3 Hindering strike Vulnerable Strike (Ex) Aer many bales against werecreatures, a kavslayer knows how to take advantage of their weaknesses. When a werecreature changes forms, but before its next action, a 4th-level kavslayer deals +1d6 damage on his aack. Treat this damage as a sneak aack for determining how it functions with respect to critical hits, magical items, and all other effects. Scent of the Beast (Ex) At 6th level, a kavslayer can detect werecreatures by smell, regardless of their current form. The kavslayer can detect all weres within 30 feet. If the lycanthrope is upwind, the range is 60 feet. If it is downwind, the range is 15 feet. The slayer detects the lycanthrope’s presence but not its specific location. Noting the direction of the scent is a move action. If it moves within 5 feet of the scent’s source, the kavslayer can pinpoint that source. A slayer with the Track feat and the scent of the beast ability can follow lycanthrope tracks by smell, making a Wisdom check to find or follow a track. The typical DC for a fresh trail is 10. The DC increases or decreases depending on how strong the quarry’s odor is, the number of weres, and the age of the trail. For each hour the trail is cold, the DC increases by +2. The ability otherwise follows the rules governing the Track feat. Kavslayers tracking by scent ignore the effects of surface conditions and poor visibility, but water (particularly running water) ruins a trail. As a kavslayer can only detect lycanthropes, other powerful odors have no effect on its tracking ability. Canny Wrestler (Ex) A 7th-level kavslayer hones his skills at fighting creatures larger than him. By using misdirection, throws, and limb locks, the kavslayer gains a +4 competence bonus to all grapple and Escape Artist checks against creatures one size larger than him, so a human kavslayer gains this bonus against Large creatures, but not Huge creatures. Precision Strike (Ex) Starting at 9th level, the kavslayer can make a special aack that bypasses her enemy’s defenses. If she studies her victim for 1 round and then makes an aack, she ignores the target’s armor and natural armor bonuses to AC. If a precision strike is aempted and she misses or if the kavslayer does not launch the aack within 3 rounds of completing the study, 1 new rounds of study is required before she can aempt another precision strike. Hindering Strike (Ex) At 10th level, a kavslayer perfects the tactics necessary to negate the lycanthrope’s greatest weapon. She can take a full-round action to make a single strike against a lycanthrope. If she successfully hits
