BARBARIAN (L EVEL 1)

Competitive and brash, Amiri is imposing in armor covered in small trophies
from her kills. She speaks little of her past, and only her giant-sized sword
gives any hint about her history.

Amiri’s statistics.
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Rage As a free action, Amiri can go into a rage that makes her deadlier,
tougher, and dauntless—but easier to hit. When raging, Amiri’s stats
are AC 13; hp 17; Fort +6, Will +3; Melee Large bastard sword +5
(2d8+9/19–20); Str 22, Con 18; CMB +7; Skills Climb +7. She can rage
for a total of 6 rounds per day, and can end a rage as a free action.
When her rage ends, she loses the 2 hit points she gained from
raging, and if this brings her below 0 hit points, she falls unconscious
and begins dying. Ending her rage also makes her fatigued (imparting
a –2 penalty to her Strength and Dexterity) for 2 rounds for every
round she spent in a rage, and she can’t rage while fatigued or
exhausted. While raging, she can’t use Charisma-, Dexterity-, or
Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride).
Killer When Amiri confirms a critical hit, she deals an additional
amount of damage equal to her weapon’s critical modifier (+2 with
her Large bastard sword or +3 with her shortbow). This additional
damage is added to the final total and is not multiplied by the
critical hit multiple itself.
Large Bastard Sword The sword Amiri carries is difficult for her to
wield because it was created to be swung by a giant. She takes a
–2 penalty on attack rolls with the sword (this is already calculated
into her attack bonus). Though a bastard sword can normally be
wielded in one hand, Amiri must use two hands because the
sword is sized for a Large creature. The sword deals 2d8 points of
damage because of its Large size.
Power Attack Before attacking, Amiri may choose to take a –1 penalty
on all melee attack rolls and combat maneuver checks until her next
turn and gains a +3 bonus on melee damage.
Amiri never fit into the expected gender roles of her tribe, refusing to
be the docile, domestic sort of woman that the Six Bear tribe valued.
Instead, she insisted on competing with the male warriors of her
tribe, and constantly one-upped them. If another hunter brought
back a caribou to feed the tribe, she brought back two. If the man
considered the best warrior among them killed four orcs in a raid,
she killed six.
Though many were secretly impressed by her prowess, other tribes
mocked the Six Bears, and the village elders knew that tradition could
not be dishonored in such a manner without grave consequences.
Amiri had to die. When the tribe attempted to send her on a suicide
mission, however, Amiri refused to fall. Instead, she returned with
an enormous trophy: a frost giant’s sword. Her former comrades’
laughter—how could she possibly expect to wield such a huge blade—
and the admission that she’d been sent out to die was too much for
Amiri. Rage overtook her, and in that blind bloodlust she found a
strength she’d never known she possessed. When the red mists
cleared, the dead members of her hunting party surrounded her.
While she was unrepentant for the deaths of the men who
preferred to betray her rather than admit her skill, Amiri still
knew that kin-killing was a crime she could never live down. She
abandoned her people to the cold steppes and tundra and headed
south toward more civilized lands, enjoying the heady rush of
f inally being free of blind tradition. Since then, she has taken to
traveling only with those adventurers and mercenary companies
who show her proper respect. She values her oversized sword (even
though she can only truly wield it properly when her blood rage
takes her), but never speaks of the circumstances that forced her to “Well, you’re a big one. I’ve killed bigger.”

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Dirty Fighter When Valeros hits while flanking, he deals 1
additional point of damage. This damage is added to his base
damage and is multiplied on a critical hit.
Indomitable Faith Valeros’s faith in his god is strong, and he gains
a +1 bonus on Will saves, which has already been calculated into
his stats.
Toughness Valeros is particularly hardy and has 3 additional hit
points, which have already been added to his total.
Two-Weapon Fighting Valeros fights with a weapon wielded in
each hand and can attack with both during the same round when
he makes a full attack. The first melee attack line listed for him
includes all the attacks and appropriate bonuses.
Weapon Focus Valeros has extensive training in fighting with a
longsword, granting him a +1 bonus on all attack rolls made with
this weapon. This bonus has already been added to his stats.
Splash Weapons The acid and alchemist’s fire Valeros carries can
be thrown as a ranged touch attack with a range increment of 10
feet that deals 1d6 points of damage and 1 point of damage to
each creature within 5 feet of where the flask hits. This damage
is acid or fire, respectively, and the alchemist’s fire deals another
1d6 points of fire damage on the next round to a target it hits.
Armor Check Valeros’s armor weighs him down when he attempts
physical tasks. He takes a –4 penalty on skill checks with
Dexterity- and Strength-based skills. This penalty is already
included for the skills listed in his stat block.
Valeros was born on a quiet farm, and grew up dreaming of
adventure and exploration. Though this longing only increased
as he grew older, so did the responsibilities of agricultural life.
Finally, just a month before a marriage of convenience to a local
farmer’s daughter could lock him into place, Valeros came to the
realization that the door to a life of adventure was closing for
good. Seized by a desperate need for a larger life than tending to
cattle and corn, Valeros quietly packed up his few possessions and
left in the middle of the night.
In the years since, Valeros has come a long way from the wide-
eyed young man who sought only the joy of exploration (and maybe
a pretty girl or three). Life on the road is much harder than the
bards’ tales suggest, and the adult Valeros has the scars to prove
it. Discovering himself to be a deft hand with a sword, Valeros
quickly fell in with the mercenary crowd, learning the dirtier,
grittier facts of warfare. After acting as hired muscle for dozens of
different employers, Valeros f inally realized that it was time to go
into business for himself as an adventurer.
While admittedly not the best at following orders, Valeros is an
extremely talented two-blade f ighter, easily earning his keep in
any group through the tenacity and absolute fearlessness—some
might say thoughtlessness—with which he f lings himself into
combat. Despite his reputation as a bruiser and scoff law, Valeros
has picked up a fair bit of education during his travels, and can
even read (something his “respectable” parents never learned to
do). Valeros takes an easy-come, easy-go approach to life, wealth,
and relationships.
Though a fan of f ine weapons and creature comforts, Valeros
is never without a tankard on his belt (after all, you never know
when someone might offer you a drink). This vessel also symbolizes
Valeros’s devotion to Cayden Cailean, the god of bravery, ale, “For the scar I’ll forgive you;
freedom, and wine—all things Valeros loves with great passion. for the spilt drink I’ll have your heart.”

A gruff, taciturn loner, Harsk is atypical for a dwarf in that he prefers plains

* The effects of this ability are already calculated into Harsk’s statistics.
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Favored Enemy Against giants, Harsk gets a +2 bonus on weapon
attack rolls and weapon damage rolls. He also gains a +2 bonus
on Bluff, Knowledge, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival
skill checks against giants, and can make Knowledge skill checks
untrained when identifying giants.
Killer When Harsk confirms a critical hit, he deals an additional
amount of damage equal to his weapon’s critical modifier (+3
with his battleaxe or +2 with his heavy crossbow). This additional
damage is added to the final total and is not multiplied by the
critical hit multiplier itself.
Rapid Reload Harsk can reload his heavy crossbow as a move action.
Wild Empathy Harsk can improve the attitude of an animal using
wild empathy (like using Diplomacy works with people). His
bonus for this check is +0. He can try influencing a magical beast
with an Intelligence of 1 or 2, but takes a –4 penalty.
Harsk is an uncommon dwarf. He enjoys the wide skies of the open
plains more than claustrophobic tunnels, prefers the taste of tea to
alcohol, and handles his battles at range rather than in melee. As a
young dwarf, he eschewed the company of his fellows, f inding that
few things made him happier than crouching in a tree stand with
his bow, listening to the wind through the forest leaves and waiting
for prey to wander by.
That all changed 20 years ago when his elder brother, a captain
named Sigur, led a dwarven war band from Janderhoff against
a small party of raiding giants. Out of affection, Sigur offered
his less-experienced sibling the chance to come and prove
himself as chief scout and second-in-command. Calm and
peaceful by nature, Harsk turned him down, failing to see
the honor his brother was doing him until several days
after the company had departed. Traveling light and fast,
Harsk caught up with his brother quickly—but not quickly
enough. Misjudging the size and skill of the raiding party,
Sigur had led his band into an ambush, where it was slaughtered
to the last dwarf.
With his brother’s blood still fresh on his hands, Harsk went
mad with rage. That night, he stalked through the giants’ camp
like a vengeful wraith, slaughtering giant after giant with his
crossbow before melting back into the forest, only to reappear
elsewhere and take another victim. When the last giant was left
gurgling in the dust, Harsk took up his brother’s axe and slipped
off into the trees, vowing to forever be the voice of justice in
the wild places, to keep balance and prevent the sacrif ices of
noble warriors like his brother.
Harsk, like many of his kind, speaks little and has little time
for niceties, but there ends most of his connection to dwarven
society. Since he was a child, he’s been inclined to keep his own
company, and he prefers to spend his time outdoors, communing
with nature, though he occasionally travels alongside others
whose goals match his own. Uninterested in the beer and ale so
strongly associated with dwarves in the minds of human society,
Harsk instead drinks pot after pot of strong tea to keep his senses
sharp. While he never lets his brother’s axe out of his sight, he
wields it only as a last resort, knowing his true skills lie in the “Gold’s fine, but give me a good hunt and a cup of
hunt and striking from darkness. strong tea afterward, and I’m content.”

daggers (6), rapier, backpack, hooded lantern, oil (5), silk rope (50 ft.),
thieves’ tools, 13 gp
* The effects of this ability are already calculated into Merisiel’s statistics.
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Sneak Attack If Merisiel can catch an opponent when it is unable
to defend itself effectively from her attack, she can strike a vital
spot for extra damage. Her attack deals an additional 1d6 points
of damage anytime her target would be denied a Dexterity
bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus
or not), or when she flanks her target. Should Merisiel score
a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not
multiplied. Ranged attacks can count as sneak attacks only if the
target is within 30 feet.
Elven Immunities Elves are immune to magic sleep effects and get a +2
racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects.
Forlorn Having lived outside of traditional elf society for much of
her life, Merisiel knows the world can be cruel, dangerous, and
unforgiving of the weak. She gains a +1 trait bonus on Fortitude
saving throws.
Keen Senses Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks.
Low-Light Vision As an elf, Merisiel can see twice as far as humans
in conditions of dim light.
Reactionary Merisiel is quick on her feet, and gains a +2 trait bonus
on initiative checks.
Trapfinding Merisiel gains a +1 bonus on Perception checks to
locate traps and on Disable Device checks. She can use Disable
Device to disarm magic traps.
Weapon Familiarity Elves are proficient with longbows,
longswords, rapiers, and shortbows, and treat any weapon with
the word “elven” in its name as a martial weapon.
Weapon Finesse With a light weapon, rapier, whip, or spiked chain,
Merisiel uses her Dexterity modifier instead of her Strength
modifier on attack rolls.
Armor Check Penalty Merisiel’s armor weighs her down when she
attempts physical tasks. She takes a –1 penalty on skill checks
with Dexterity- and Strength-based skills. This penalty is already
calculated into the skills listed in her statistics.
The elves have a name for elven children unfortunate enough to
be born and raised in human society—the Forlorn. Merisiel is
one of these. Her parents left her in the care of Varisia’s temple
to Calistria. The priests raised her, but she had little patience for
teachers and prayer. Eventually, she left and spent years on the
streets of Magnimar, earning a living as a freelance thief. When her
growing reputation as a pincher became inconvenient, she decided
to seek out new settlements to explore and enjoy.
Merisiel became a master at stowing away on ships, talking her
way out of trouble, and f inding her way in new societies. She’s
called dozens of cities home, leaving one for another when her
companions have outgrown her or she’s outlived them. Faced often
with situations where a quick tongue or stealth won’t suff ice to
keep her out of trouble, Merisiel has taken to carrying a dozen
knives. When things go wrong with her carefully laid plans (as
they almost always seem to do), the knives come out. To date,
Merisiel hasn’t met a problem that can’t, in one way or another, be
solved with a blade.
Merisiel’s life experiences have taught her to enjoy things to
their fullest as they occur—it’s impossible to tell when the good
times might end. She’s open and expressive, always on the move and
working on her latest batch of plots to make easy money. In the end, it
comes down to being faster than everyone else—either on her feet or “If I’ve got a big problem, I cut it into smaller
with her beloved blades. She wouldn’t have it any other way. pieces and most of the time that solves it!”

WIZARD (LEVEL 1)

* The effects of this ability have already been calculated into
Ezren’s statistics.
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Arcane Bond If Ezren attempts to cast a spell without wielding his
cane, he must make a concentration check (DC 20 + the spell’s
level) or lose the spell. Once per day, Ezren may use his cane to
cast any single spell from his spellbook, even if the spell hasn’t
been prepared, as if he had memorized it that morning.
Hand of the Apprentice As a standard action, Ezren can make a
single attack with his cane at a range of 30 feet, the weapon
flying from his hand to strike a foe and then instantly returning
to him. This attack is treated as a ranged attack with a thrown
weapon, with a +5 bonus to hit. This ability cannot be used to
perform combat maneuvers.
Spells Ezren can cast the following spells (either from memory
or from his spellbook). For full spell descriptions of these and
the unprepared spells in his spellbook, see Chapter 10 of the
Pathfinder RPG Core Rulebook.
Acid Splash: Ranged touch attack (+2 to hit, range 25 feet)
dealing 1d3 points of acid damage.
Burning Hands: 15-foot cone of fire dealing 1d4 points of fire
damage to all within range (Reflex save for half damage).
Detect Magic: Detects all spells and magic items within a 60-foot cone.
Light: Touched object shines like a torch for 10 minutes.
Mage Armor: Subject gains a +4 armor bonus for 1 hour.
Magic Missile: Dart of force automatically hits target within
110 feet, dealing 1d4+1 points of force damage.
Born to a successful spice merchant in one of Absalom’s more
aff luent districts, Ezren lived a pleasantly safe childhood. He
enjoyed the comforts of a well-to-do family, lived in a neighborhood
relatively safe from crime, and seemed poised for a life of mediocrity.
That changed when his father was taken away and charged
with heresy by the church of Abadar. Though his father escaped
excommunication, the damage had been done—his father’s
business fell to pieces. Convinced his father was innocent, Ezren
spent his adult life trying to repair his father’s reputation. When
Ezren f inally uncovered irrefutable proof of his father’s guilt and
realized he’d wasted his life on a lie, he turned his evidence over
to the church and said goodbye to his home, his family, and his
former life.
At his advanced age, Ezren knows he’s missed his adulthood, yet
looks forward to discovering the world. His dissatisfaction with
family, religion, and government left him precious little to trust
but his own intellect—in f ighting for his father’s redemption, he
had become a gifted researcher, scholar, and intellectual. He hoped
to join one of several prestigious schools of wizardry. Yet time and
time again, he was turned away due to his age. So Ezren was forced
to strike out on his own once again.
Over the next decade, Ezren studied where he could, picking
up tricks of the wizard’s trade here and there. The combination of
arcane study mixed with his worldly experiences has given him an “Some say knowledge flows from sweat and
edge over young wizards fresh out of apprenticeship. blood. I prefer a tidier approach.”
