Campaign Cards: Spring 2005

Set 2

The RPGA magewrights have fired up the forge to produce the second complete set of Campaign Cards
for Mark of Heroes set in Eberron. The ten cards in this set were shipped out as part of the D&D Rewards
Spring mailing. Be sure to enroll in D&D Rewards and receive your share of the bounty.

Sentient Scout Set 2 Card 1: Creation

"They send Tanix for diversion. I am the surgical strike." 
-- Servine IV, warforged scout

Not all warforged fit all purposes, and the smaller, more
nimble warforged scouts were built for skirmish and stealth, to
compliment the larger models' strength and stamina. Though
either less common or less seen than the larger warforged,
they are subject to Treaty of Thornhold, which granted
warforged their freedom through most of Khorvaire.

Benefit: You are a warforged scout. Warforged scouts possess the following racial traits:

+2 Dexterity, -2 Strength, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma.

Small size. +1 bonus to Armor Class, +1 bonus on attack rolls, +4 bonus on Hide Checks, -4 penalty
on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits 3/4 those of Medium characters.
A warforged scout's base land speed is 20 feet.
Special Qualities (see Eberron Campaign Setting): composite plating, light fortification, living construct
traits.
Automatic Languages: Common. Bonus Languages: None.
Favored Class: Rogue.

More information on the warforged scout can be found in the Monster Manual III.

People of Mind, Matter, and Radiance Set 2 Card 2: Creation

"The life is a manifestation of mind, matter, and radiance. All
three in perfect balance is kalashtar." 
-- Vezzentash, Kalashtar philosopher.

The kalashtar are a compound race: incorporeal entities from

Dal Quar merged with human bodies and spirits. Taller than
humans with beautiful angular features and an ethereal
grace, kalashtar are truly psionic beings.

Benefit: You are a kalashtar (see Eberron Campaign Setting), and this unlocks any non-restricted class, skill,
feat, power, prestige class, or psionic item from the Expanded Psionic Handbook. See the Mark of
Heroes Campaign Standards for a list of campaign restricted psionic rules items.

Force of Will Set 2 Card 3: General

"Focus is the key. A scattered mind is a weak mind and one
potentially subject to the tyranny of the Quori." 
-- Denkmurtash, holy agent of the Path of Light

Benefit: Spend this card to modify a Will saving throw. When

rolling your action point dice, roll an additional die. Take the
higher of the rolls. Instead, if you rolled a 1 on a Will save,
you can spend this card and two more action points to reroll
that Will save.

Feign Surprise Set 2 Card 4: General

"He thought he had me, but I smelled his approach. When will
they learn? Never hunt a hunter." 
-- Hvriack, shifter ranger

Benefit: When surprised, you can spend this card to act

during the surprise round. You act on your initiative, and
you're flat-footed before your surprise round action in the
initiative order.

Surprise Set Set 2 Card 5: General

"Your tactics are anachronisms of an irrelevant era."
 -- Tanix, warforged hero

Benefit: Spend this card to take an attack of opportunity

against an opponent charging you. Make this attack of
opportunity prior to the opponent's charge attack.

Mind Over Body Set 2 Card 6: General

"In projecting the mind there is always danger to the body." 
-- Vezzentash, kalashtar philosopher

Prerequisites: Manifester level 1st.

Benefit: Transfer some of your physical essence into psionic

power. Spend this card and take 2 points of Constitution
damage to gain an extra power point per manifester level in
your reserve. Extra power points not spent by the end of the adventure are lost.

Triumph of Hoof and Fletching Set 2 Card 7: General

"Horses see not only the landscape, but into the realm of the
ancestors. Trust in your ancestors and they will show a clear
path into battle."
-- Shadi, Valenar horsemaster

Prerequisites: Mounted Combat, Mounted Archery.

Benefit: Spend this card to reduce the penalty you take when

using a ranged weapon while mounted for as many consecutive rounds as your base attack bonus. The
penalty for using a ranged weapon while your mount is taking a double movement is -0, and -2 when it is
running.

Staggering Strike Set 2 Card 8: General

"With the rage in my soul I strike at thee, as my eyes glow
crimson with cleansing hate."
-- Nil, warforged warrior poet

Prerequisites: Power Attack.

Benefit: Spend this card after a successful Power Attack

against an opponent where you applied your entire base
attack bonus to damage output. If the opponent can be stunned, it is stunned for a round. If it can't be
stunned, it takes 1d6 points of additional damage.

Blood of the Beast Set 2 Card 9: Expansion

"Nature's raw power course through our veins; with the sweet
call of blood on the wind, we call."
