Favored Weapon nine-ring broadsword
Centers of Worship Dtang Ma, Goka, Hwanggot, Kwanlai,
Lingshen, Minata, Minkai, Wanshou, Xidao
Worshipers farmers, sailors, fishermen, druids, tengu
Adjective Hei Fengan
Boastful, impulsive, and often drunk, Hei Feng rules the stormy
skies of Tian Xia, always accompanied by his four loyal allies,
his Counts of Lightning, Rain, Thunder, and Wind. Massive
storms answer his call, and the sea is a manifestation of his whim.
Commonly seen as untrustworthy, the Duke of Thunder is a
compulsive cheat, gambler, and liar, and is prone to tremendous
mood swings. He is easily enraged, and while his temper usually
subsides just as quickly, he is known to hold grudges for
millennia. While Hei Feng is a god of nature, he is more involved
than most such gods—Hei Feng is fascinated by people and loves
civilization, for better or worse.
UNDERSTANDING HEI FENG
Hei Feng is the patron of the tengu race, typically depicted as a
tall tengu man with smoldering black feathers, glowing eyes, and
his personal nine-ring broadsword, which crackles with lightning.
He's rude and often uncouth though is capable of taking the suave
and cultured demeanor befitting of any member of royalty.
Unfortunately though he sees these pretensions as ridiculous.
When summoned to the Heavenly Court for official events, he
enjoys interrupting his own eloquent and flowing prose with a
belch or eruption of laughter. However he is no idiot, instead a
terrifying opponent capable of unleashing massive destruction
through the wind and the waves at his call. Whether he answers
quick or slow; when he's angered, his response is always
unmistakable and unmatched.
On occasion though he has been known to regret his actions,
particularly the impact he has on the lives of others. Sometimes
the morning tide may carry a pearl to the foundation of a home he
rampaged past, or a child who's parents were ripped from them
finds their nets full of fish for all their days forth. In these cases,
many believe it an apology from the Duke himself.
The Duke of Thunder is also known to be moved heavily by
music, fireworks, paintings, and dance. He has an almost popular
taste in the arts, less interested in the precision and delicate
natures of the upper class and more directly the art created by the
people simply because it is what they love. He has little interest
or patience for calligraphy scrolls or meditative poems. Of
distinct interest is that Hei Feng is often moved to tears by flower
arrangements, particularly those incorporating white lotuses or
mirrors. It is as if these remind him of his adored wife, Lady
Jingxi, the Poet of Dawn and Dusk, who left him centuries ago.
Treatise on Divinity: Hei Feng
While he misses her deeply, often weeping over her when too
deep in his drink, and recognizes how neglectful he was as a
husband, many believe these to be protestations of love toward
an idealized image of the poet, rather than the Lady herself.
Hei feng's holy symbol is a black storm cloud emitting a
powerful lightning bolt. Signs of his approval include calm winds
or rapid tides. His disapproval come in the form of ominous
thunder, dark clouds, and bolts of electricity with nor warning.
CHURCH
Hei Feng has no use for bureaucracy, and thus has little in the
way of a unified church. His worshippers are common folk:
farmers seeking rain, fisherfolk praying for a good haul, sailors
wishing for good winds and clear skies. His interest in the “low
arts” makes him popular with traveling performers, who liken
unpredictable crowds to uncertain weather, and who are equally
at the mercy of both. Drunken masters and wandering ronin also
pay homage to Hei Feng. Finally, those whose lives have been
altered by the Duke of Thunder’s disasters occassionally come to
worship him, although their reverence may be conflicted.
Hei Feng’s holy days are major festivals celebrated throughout
Tian Xia. These day-long celebrations are filled with fireworks,
spicy food, and a potent rice liquor known as “cloudless
lightning”. Dancers in sea-dragon and raven costumes parade
through the streets, accompanied by percussion and brass
musicians, who do their best to recreate the deafening clamor of a
thunderstorm on the ground. Performers with nine-ring
broadswords clash in ritual combat, echoing insults at each other
and competing for the crowd. On these days, the entire
community comes together to stage the loudest, merriest, and
most colorful festival possible. When the Duke of Thunder is
amused by their efforts, many hope, he will be too pleased to
destroy the community with his storms and will instead bless it
with bountiful fish and gentle rain so that he can enjoy the next
festival.
TEMPLES AND SHRINES
Shrines to the Duke of Thunder are often found along the
shoreline in nearly every coastal settlement in Tian Xia. These
shrines are made of sea stones pained with praise and prayers and
frequently adorned with fish shaped chimes and pinwheels. They
are very rarely attended or maintained by an official and are
usually more of a community project by the locals.
The rare larger structure to Hei Feng have been found among the
Dragon Empires. Typically called Sanctuaries of the Fifty Sacred
Storms, these structures consist of a metallic skeleton tipped with
a grounded lightning rod. The walls are built of colorful,
alchemically treated paper. During electrical storms these
structures are important social sanctuaries; when lightning
strikes, it ignites the paper which consumes the walls in sheets of
multicolored flame. The lightning is redirected away from
harming any occupants by the metal frame. These sanctuaries are
built in hopes that the pyrotechnic display might sate Hei Feng's
appetites while reminding him that the people who made it are at
risk from the storm. As such, these sanctuaries are treated by
many as offerings to the storm god in hopes to spare their own
lives.

ADVENTURERS
The devout faithful of Hei Feng have two main roles; a
deliverance of the Duke of Thunder's wrath, and the one that beg
for his mercy on innocent people. The more benevolent
worshipers intercede because it is the right thing to do, while
more evil ones demand tribute in exchange. Regardless their
nature, Hei Fengans are wanderers drawn forth by short-term
passion and devoted to a tempestuous god. Hei Feng's elemental
powers and love of conflict make them highly useful in
adventuring parties especially if they can be drawn to swear the
Fourfold Oath of Eternal Camaraderie, which makes them at least
somewhat reliable.
More casual worshipers light fireworks and offer toasts to Hei
Feng for good weather before beginning a long journey.
Performers might carry bronze charms of nine-ring broadswords,
which are rattled for luck before taking stage. Sailors purchase
calligraphy supplies to burn short, brightly colored prayers for
smooth seas and fair winds.
HOLIDAYS
The faith of Hei Feng is known for a large number of regional
holidays, varying based on seasonal floods, droughts, storms, and
the migrations of important fish and bird populations. In addition
to these multitudes of celebrations for his favor, two major
holidays are celebrated across the Dragon Empires.
The Festival of Sea to Sky[Transition days from Sea Dragon to
Swallow Zodiac]: A riotous celebration filled with drinking,
feasting, and fireworks.
The Mirror Poet’s Farewell[5 days after Fall Equinox]: This
holiday marks the date on which Lady Jingxi left Hei Feng. The
Mirror Poet’s Farewell is a solemn occasion for meditation, ritual
mourning, and gestures of appreciation for one’s ancestors and
loved ones—especially those who have been wronged or
neglected.
REALM
Pavilion of Ten Thousand Explosions[Yanjira, Maelstrom]:
Hei Feng’s primary realm is the seas surrounding the island of
Yanjira deep in the Maelstrom. Perpetually churned by eternal
storms and lit by the flashes of lightning and multicolored
fireworks. The sea rises in colossal waves and crashes on cliffs
and shores alike in thunderous aggression. The constant chaos of
the eternal storm and ferocious sea empowers Hei Feng and his
servants, who play merrily amid the power and have little
patience for anyone who cannot keep up. Though the Duke of
Thunder doesn’t begrudge someone who must leave for other
responsibilities.
CLOTHING
Faithful of the Duke of Thunder prefer to wear bright colors,
though the décor of storms such as blues and grays with white-
gold threading are also popular. Their outfits tend to be motley
and rumpled. Priests almost always carry the nine-ring
broadsword while more casual followers usually wear small
pieces of jewelry that looks like the weapon.
Hei Fengans often wear metal jewelry in elaborate and intricate
designs that allow electricity to linger on the wearer
spectacularly. Their clothes are often singed as a result but this is
usually seen as a mark of honor rather than embarrassment.
Treatise on Divinity: Hei Feng
ANTIPALADIN CODE
Antipaladins of the Duke of Thunder are typically self-reliant
drifters, travelling from land to land offering aid or devestation at
their whim. They are typically very open about their intent and
have been known to keep their word to the desperate and
destitute should they give it. Any slight, however, is almost
always met with overwhelming retribution. The code of Hei
Feng’s antipaladins is generally as follows.
• The blessing of the storm comes in lightning. I am permitted
to offer altruistic aid, only when that aid comes in the form
of violence visited upon others.
• The clouds warn of coming rain. My wrath may be sudden,
but it is honest. I may trick a foe with boasts or cunning, but
I do not pretend to be a friend to those I intend to harm.
• The wind cannot be chained. I stay nowhere for long, and I
do not abide oaths that try to restrain me for longer than a
month. If I make such promises, they have no weight, and
those who trust them are fools.
• My last word is a thunderclap. None shall insult me, or my
god, without paying a terrible price. My revenge will be
unstoppable and absolute.
•
HOLY TEXT
Religious texts are not that important to the faithful of the Duke
of Thunder. Most prayers are short enough that they can be
inscribed on a small single slip of paper in large text. Many times
these prayers are written in pyrotechnic ink on sacrificial scrolls.
These prayers are never written the same way twice, as Hei Feng
is known to enjoy novelty and gets bored with repetition.
Fourfold Oath of Eternal Camaraderie: The oath of friendship
that Hei Feng swore to his four counts is the only constant text in
Hei Fengan faiths. The oath originally appeared in sigils of
lightning across the black stormy sky, the brilliant flash searing
the memory in the minds of every faithful across Tian Xia that
very night.
APHORISMS
The Duke of Thunder is fond of aphorisms, particularly those
known in Tian Xia as “drunkard’s wisdom” that sound ridiculous
or nonsensical at first, revealing their profound nature only after
consideration.
Fate Falls on a Feather: Destiny is unknowable, and random
chance can alter the course of a life in an instant. There’s no point
trying to plan for a future that may never come; the wiser course
is to live moment to moment.
Heaven’s Majesty Is Change: The celestial cycle’s tumult is
eternal. The heavens bring creation and destruction, beauty and
loss, but above all; change. Nothing in the sky is permanent, and
this is its power, its glory, and its tragedy.

Sun Wukong and Hei Feng are great friends, sharing very
similar natures. It’s said that their friendship often breaks out into
massive quarrels punctuated with titanic but ultimately friendly
brawls.

Beyond Hei Feng’s relationships with the major deities of the

Dragon Empires, there is one lesser goddess of great importance
to him. Lady Jingxi, the Poet of Dawn and Dusk, is Hei Feng’s
estranged wife. She is usually portrayed as a gentle, lovely tengu
lady dressed in white and wearing a white lotus in her feathers.
Hei Feng speaks of Lady Jingxi with operatic longing, but he
doesn’t really wish to reconcile (nor does she, since he was a
thoughtless husband). However, his sentiments extend to his
followers, who are expected to honor Lady Jingxi’s shrines and
worshippers with far more respect than Hei Feng demands for
himself.

Treatise on Divinity: Hei Feng Page 5


OATHS OF CAMARADERIE
Religion isn’t stagnant and locked, no matter how much a
particular worshiper or even deity wishes it were. Some worship
of the Duke of Thunder deviates quite significantly from the
baseline. What follows is the current best attempt to fill out some
of the missing lore on those who follow Hei Feng.
Additional Titles: The lightning dancer, The fury of the wilds
SECTS
COUNCILERS Typical Alignment: Chaotic Good
A large group of faithful of the Duke of thunder are
simultaneously equally dedicated to his estranged wife, the poet
of dawn and dusk. It is a widespread belief among these faithful
that Hei Feng and Lady Jingxi will at some point reconcile, and
they pray to their patrons to look back at what drew them
together initially.
The members of this sect, which others in the faith call
'councilers' are mostly found at the temples and shrines of Lady
Jingxi and act primarily as her priests. However, they do not
make their positions secret and endeavour to bring their ideas to
others in both faiths in hopes that enough outcry will help the two
gods to see the greatness in each other once again. As such, this
sect is the largest group of faithful that originally started in the
inner sea but made its way back to Tian Xia.
Knowing however that attempting to overly pressure gods in this
way is a recipe for disaster, most members of this group avoid
praying in this manner too often. Usually they utter prayers in
thanks to the applicable deity, followed by a smaller prayer to the
other about an hour later, thanking them for bringing the
originally prayed to god to their attention; crediting each god
with the spread and survival of the other faith.
Counciler's tend to take a more militaristic standpoint among the
faithful of Lady Jingxi, and are less prone to roam than the
faithful of Hei Feng. Acting as Janitors and guards for temples of
the poet of dawn and dusk, these faithful are typically responsible
for calming and safely redirecting unruly Hei Fengans.
CALMING EYE Typical Alignment: Neutral
Upon the faiths of Hei Feng reaching the inner sea, a sizeable
number of the new 'recruits' taken under its wing were drawn not
by the destructive nature of the god or his unpredictability, but by
his portfolio and the small level of control his faithful prooved to
exert over him. These new faithful splintered into a unique sect
now called "Calming Eye" by many Hei Fengans.
Calming Eye hei fengans wander as any other, though their
wanderings seek to follow storms and arrive at destruction as
close to when they can as possible. Some seem to simply enjoy
the thrill of being caught in terrifyingly destructive acts of nature,
while others are more interested in what they can do to preserve
the lives of others. Calming Eye members have a tendency to be
exceptionally good at searching through wreckage after a storm
to find and treat survivors, their arrival in a settlement is usually
an omen of danger though their intent is to preserve lives.
The Calming Eye is the most structured sect of Hei Fengan's and
are believed to be the primary constructors of the metal and paper
storm shelters in the inner sea region. These faithful often carry
emergency lines of burnable paper and staves; the staves are set
up in a circle or triangle and the ropes hung from them and burnt
in the storm as a quick display, an emergency prayer to the duke
to leave an injured person alone.
Treatise on Divinity: Hei Feng
WRITHING SEAS Typical Alignment: Chaotic Evil
A small but noticeable faction of the faith of Hei Feng split from
the primary worship when Hei Fengan travelers met with the
Tengu of the Shackles, which many believe to be their first 'port
of call' in the inner sea. Initially heavily influenced by the faiths
of Besmara, Writhing Sea Hei Fengan's are immense destructive
forces driven by an apparent lust not for battle but devastation in
general. While typically pirates, some of these Hei Fengans
remain on the mainland, where they're described as "sweeping"
insland with the intention of causing as much havoc as possible.
Writhing Sea pirates are the most common faith of Hei Feng to
deploy electricity spells and often enchant their siege weapons
with the ability to deal massive lightning strikes on a hit. They
don't care much for the plunder that could be gained from the
vessels they attack, instead prioritizing the destruction of the ship
in general. Word of their exploits has spread fairly slowly, likely
due to the lower number of survivors of their attacks.
It is a not uncommon view among the Writhing Seas that Hei
Feng and Besmara are either secretly a couple, or are two facets
of the same entity; seen as two beings by outsiders.
ALLIES
Despite their typically strong allegiance to the king of the wind
demons, some Vrock Demons have turned away from the abyss
and were persuaded to change sides by the playful chaos of the
Duke of Thunder. These lost demons are typically not evil and
spend much of their time dancing in the maelstrom, delivering
their lightning through planar eddies to create freakishly
impressive displays of lightning on the material plane.
HOLIDAYS
In the inner sea, as with the dragon empires, most of Hei Feng's
worship is in the case of regional holidays for seasonal events
and both the Festival of Sea to Sky and The Mirror Poet's
Farewell are observed by his faithful, particularly in the shackles
region. However, the Inner Sea does sport a couple fairly well
known holidays of its own.
The Dance of the eye[16th of Rova]: Believed to be the
anniversary of the formation of the titanic hurricane known as the
eye of abendego. Hei Fengan belief holds that the storm was
created by Hei Feng as tribute to a fellow racial deity in the death
of Aroden. This event is preceded by a pilgrimage to visible
range of the storm and marked by large groups dancing in a
chaotic manner, stopping at the end of each song for a solemn
and unmoving remembrance of Aroden.
Wintermercy[3rd of Kuthona]: Originally a regional holiday for
the Archduchy of Ravounel, wintermercy has since spread to
most inner sea countries that suffer particularly dangerous winter
months. Observers of this holiday, both faithful and not, will
build wire sculptures and effigies of those they hate, cladding
them in paper. These effigies are burnt using torches made of
paper that burns a multitude of colors. While the effigies burn,
many will dance around the structure shouting boasts of how they
would have personally dealt with the figure being burned. All in
hopes to amuse Hei Feng enough to give a more peaceful season.
Page 6
CLASSES
Most classes are easily drawn to the faith of Hei Feng; anyone
who enjoys the beauty of the storm or the passion of art can find
a common thread in his worship. That said, some classes are
more common among the faith than others. The vast majority of
his faithful are those in touch with their own movements;
Barbarians, Fighters, Magi, Rogues, and Swashbucklers, or with
their passions such as Bards, Clerics, Oracles and Sorcerers.
Classes that call for rigid structure are less inviting to the
faithful, lest they have a strong connection with nature and art,
such as Druids, Investigators, Rangers and Summoners.
All that said, some classes are virtually unheard of among Hei
Fengan's, likely due to their strict nature or long periods of study
such as Alchemists, Monks, Psychics and Wizards.
Most of the faithful are also trained in crafts or performances as
a means by which to express themselves.
CLOTHING
The metal jewelry worn in his honor in the Dragon Empires
diversified quite significantly in the inner sea region. Of note;
Varisian Hei Fengans are known to wear metal piercings in
exposed parts of their skin, surrounded by busy, crackling,
lightning-like scars from the times they have been subjected to
electricity in the past. The faith of Hei Feng in Numeria often
carry low charge batteries, which are useless for any purpose
other than causing parts of their jewelry to light up or cause
electrical discharges along the metal on command.
HOLY TEXTS
Despite the lack of official text for the faith of the Duke of
Thunder, many worshipers do still possess in some fashion a text
by the name “Strokes and lines of the hearts flow” which is
generally considered a lesser or side religious text of the faith of
Lady Jingxi. The condition and cover of this book when
possessed by a Hei Fengan is never assured and many are
rebound periodically. However the text is typically kept very
readable and many of Hei Feng’s faithful will practice copying
the text in case pages get too damaged. This text is mostly just a
description of poetic forms and primarily an introductory text for
how to write poetry.
TABOO
It is an explicit taboo among the faith, handed down by the Duke
himself, to harm a priest of Lady Jingxi or one of her temples. To
do so is to invoke the wrath of every worshiper of Hei Feng, who
bear no such qualms with harming each other.
Aside from this explicit taboo, it is frequently cited that the
faithful detest any form of physical restraint. Manacles, bindings,
pins in a grapple and so forth are robbing a being of the most
fundemental right to their own movement.
Treatise on Divinity: Hei Feng
RELATIONSHIPS
Since the spread of his worship to the inner sea, many new
perspectives have been found on the interactions between Hei
Feng and other divine beings.
Daikitsu claims to have practice in capturing rogue storms let
off by the Duke of Thunder to properly tame them for agriculture.
Eiseth may disagree with the Duke of Thunder personally, but
scholars have drawn parallels between the Erinyes Queen's edicts
and the personality of Hei Feng himself.
Guyuku is a common side veneration in the worship of the
Duke of Thunder. Hei Feng apparently encourages his faithful to
help the Sea Devil whenever convenient for them.
Hanspur is one of the few other gods to frequently join dances
with the Duke of Thunder. His faithful so often work with Hei
Fengans to be frequent recipients of the Fourfold oath.
Hathors oldest documented interaction with a deity outside the
Ancient Osirion pantheon is mention of Hei Feng. Scholars are
split on whether she had an affair with him or simply joined in
the maelstrom dance.
Iomedae and the Duke of Thunder have butted heads several
times since her ascension. However Hei Feng appears always
willing to join in the Inheritor's crusades against fiendish planes,
particularly the Abyss.
Kelizandri doesn't pay much mind to the Duke of Thunder.
Some scholars in the inner sea region however believe Hei Feng
to be the Brackish Emperor's unnamed father.
Lada is the most frequent divine being outside his four
associates to join Hei Feng's maelstromic dance. Faithful of the
lady of dance enjoy suggesting the two attempt a romantic
partnership, a stance heavily opposed by many Hei Fengans.
Lantern King has pranked the Duke of Thunder several times
since his arrival in the inner sea. Hei Feng seems to take these
pranks with a mix of amusement and annoyance.
Matravash has taken a role of a restrainer of Hei Feng's storms
in the inner sea region, most significantly Vudra.
Ng has apparently attempted to "interview" the Duke of Thunder
many times, each time being rebuffed or told the answers will
only come if he dances.
Saloc has been quite open about the strangely consistent
difficulty in judging Hei Fengan antipaladins.
Seramaydiel holds no official stance on the Duke of Thunder.
However, faithful of the Lady of Inspired Notes appear more
willing to attempt to hire Hei Fengans than Gorumites for
security on diplomatic missions.
Shelyn and Hei Feng are not known to interact much in a public
manner. It is believed however that the Eternal Rose was the
overseer of the marriage of Hei Feng and Lady Jinxi.
Tsukiyo has twice been the recipient of the Duke of Thunder's
aid; once while Hei Feng was drunk. The other point was
believed to be during an argument between the Prince of the
Moon and the Lord of Envy, which resulted in a destructive
brawl wherein Hei Feng threw the first punch.

REALM
Vajuta[Elysium]: A beautiful carved and seemingly fragile
castle in the fields of Elysium. This palace is the combined realm
of the Duke of Thunder and the Poet of Dawn and Dusk. Or at
least it was. Both gods still maintain command over the realm
and many faithful of both still make planar pilgrimages to it, but
neither god claims to have set foot on its grounds in centuries.
Maintained by various azata, servants dedicated to both
divinities, Vatuja is still among the most impressive and beautiful
individual structures on the plane. Some claim every prayer burnt
to Hei Feng appears in the halls of the palace, rearranging
themselves into a single massive and ever shifting poem in
dedication to Lady Jingxi.
Traveler shrine
A unique set of tools have arisen among the faithful, taking
inspiration from varisian caravans and may even have found their
way back to Tian Xia. First is a long stick(typically around 8ft)
with a small notch at either end, these staves are often decorated
with fractal, lightning like burns. A pair of modified pitons are
also included, which can be attached to each end of the stick. One
piton allows the pole to be embedded in the ground, while the
other acts as a lightning rod which can stand higher than the
faithful's head. Finally, the set usually also includes a mat of soft
leather and decorated with symbols of storms, fish, and the nine-
ring broadsword. Faithful lay out the mat several feet from the
piton-staff and dance on it as a means of prayer.

MAGIC OPINIONS Public shrine

spells that take away that agency anathema to their practice.
Spells such as Geas, Quest, Deja Vu, Dominate person, and even
the various Charm spells are seen as the greatest magical evils
and are treated with the same severity as blasphemy's. Seemingly
as an extension of this interest in freedom, members of the faith
often count among its consideration of evil any spell that seeks to
end storms the Duke of Thunder creates on his whims. This
includes of course Control Weather, but also spells such as Dispel
magic when used to target magically created storms. Finally, a
smaller group of the faithful believe the spell Silence to be an
insult to Kaishun. While this is not a taboo, these faithful view it
as distasteful all the same.

Endorsed magic
Faithful of the Duke of Thunder appear to enjoy loud or
destructive spells most of all. Almost every member of the faith
capable of casting spells is familiar with at least one spell that
deals electricity damage, one that deals sonic damage, and one
that directs the wind. The spell "Gust of Wind" is most popular
and widespread among the faith.

TEMPLES AND SHRINES

Shrines to the Duke of Thunder are few and far between,
however when the faithful's wanderings brought them to the inner
sea region, they found need of more diversity for both the
environment, and the people they found themselves among.
Home shrine
The simplest shrines to Hei Feng are small collections of
chemicals and paper with a relightable torch. The faithful soak
the paper in the chemicals and dance while it dries. Once dried, a
small prayer is written on the paper as it is folded into a small
cylinder, which is burnt from one end. The multicolored fire lifts
the prayer into the air where it dissolves in a flashing, wind-born
offering to the duke of thunder.

BLADES AND TASSLES
The following character options are intended to help players
show more diverse connections to Hei Feng. But it should be
stressed that these materials vary in balance and should be
seriously considered by a GM before being allowed. Even if the
GM approves of the lore in this file, it doesn't immediately mean
they approve anything that follows.
DIVINE GIFT
You gain the one time ability to create a titanic thunderstorm as
per the control weather spell, regardless of season, centered on
your position. This storm lasts for 48 hours and cannot be
dispelled, countered, or replaced by any effect lower than caster
level 20.
DIVINE FIGHTING TECHNIQUE
HEI FENG’S DANCING WIND
Initial Benefit: If you critically hit an opponent with a nine-ring
broadsword, you may spend a move action(or an iterative attack)
to reposition a willing ally relative to the target rather than
relative to yourself.
Advanced Prerequisites: Perform(Dance) 11 ranks or BAB
+11, Combat Expertise
Advanced Benefit: You may use this feat as a move action if
you successfully hit a target with a nine-ring broadsword. If the
attack is a critical hit, you may instead perform this feat as a free
action.
TRAIT
Baofeng's Patience[Combat] Your steady patience helps you
draw your allies into a fight when necessary. You can take 10 on
initiative checks. If your initiative result is higher than an ally
within 30 feet, you may grant that ally a +1 trait bonus to that
initiative roll, however if you do you are staggered for the first
round of combat.
Fourfold comrade[Magic OR Social] A worshiper of the Duke
of Thunder swore an oath to you, marking you a friend of the
faith. Treat the caster level of all spells cast by an allied
worshiper of Hei Feng or an ally with this trait as 2 higher.
Kaishun's Roar[Drawback] You are loud, exceptionally so.
When you speak, you are always at least shouting. You cannot
whisper, and the DC to hear you decreases by 10.
Lixia's Curiosity[Faith] It's easy to get your attention, but not
to break it. When you are performing a full round action, you
gain a +1 trait bonus on all saving throws against effects that
would stop you from performing the action, including on
concentration checks to cast a spell defensively.
Quiyu's Perspective[Social] You find amusement in twisting
another's words when they can't correct you. You gain a +1 trait
bonus on Linguistic checks and Linguistics is always a class skill
for you. Additionally, you also gain a +1 trait bonus on Bluff
checks when lying about the translation of a phrase or document.

Page 12
 Medium
A medium that worships Hei Feng may select the following
ability as a favored class option instead of the standard +1 Hit
Point or +1 Skill Point, regardless of his race: +1/2 to
perform(dance) checks and can use perform(dance) in place of
any Charisma based skill check to interact with a spirit.
Apologetic Channeler: When performing a Propitiation, the
medium may instead spend 1 hour and attempt a Will save (DC =
20 + 1/2 the medium's class level + double the current amount of
influence). If successful, he instead reduces the current influence
to exactly 1, regardless what it originally was. This alters
Propitiation and replaces Astral Journey.
Fourfold Seance: When the medium performs a seance, his allies
do not need to be in physical contact to count as participating so
long as they are willing and within 30 feet of the medium. This
modifies Spirit.
Tempered tantrum: When the medium uses the Location channel
ability and attracts a Malevolent spirit, he may choose to accept 1
point of influence to hold the spirit in himself for up to 1 hour per
level. The medium may release the spirit as a standard action at
any point before the duration expires, after which point the spirit
acts as an air or water elemental summoned by a summon
monster spell. This effect uses the medium's level as the caster
level and is of a spell level equal to half the medium's level. This
alters Location Channel.
Ninja
A ninja that worships Hei Feng may select the following benefit
in place of the +1 Hit point or +1 Skill point for favored class,

target is within the ninja's sneak attack range and were unaware
of his location when he activates this ability.
Raindancer(Su): A ninja with this trick may spend 1 point from
his ki pool when he needs to make a saving throw against a spell
or affect with the water or electricity descriptors. If he does so, he
may use his perform(dance) modifier instead of the applicable
saving throw modifier for the save. Conditional bonus's to saves
still apply.
Wind Flurry*(Su): A ninja with this trick can expend 1 point
from his ki pool outside of initiative to make a full attack with
thrown weapons. All creatures that would be flat-footed to the
first attack are flat-footed to all the attacks from this trick.
Oracle
An oracle that swears the fourfold oath of eternal comraderie
treats all conjuration(healing) spells cast on her allies she swore
the oath to, as being affected by the empower spell metamagic
feat. This does not increase the spell level or casting time of
affected spells.
An oracle of Hei Feng with the Wind mystery gains an
additional revelation at 1st level.
Storm alleviation: When in a storm, the oracle ignores the
normal penalties imposed by the storm and also ignores any
penalties from her curse. An oracle of Hei Feng may select this
revelation regardless of her mystery.

a bonus 6th level spell known at 13th level.
Treatise on Divinity: Hei Feng
Ranger
Focal point(Ex): A ranger of Hei Feng who selects to bond with
his allies using the Hunter's Bond class ability grant his allies the
full benefit of his favored enemy bonus rather than half. The
ranger does not need to spend an action to grant this bonus for
allies he has sworn his fourfold oath to. This alters Hunter's
Bond.
Stormwatch(Ex): The ranger is always aware of the weather
forecast for his area(as if he took 20 on Survival) and adds half
his ranger level to Survival checks to predict the weather. This
replaces Wild Empathy.
Warrior training(Ex): The ranger counts as a fighter of his
ranger level for the purposes of qualifying for feats. This replaces
Track.
Rogue
The following may be selected as rogue talents.
Leadership: The rogue gains leadership as a bonus feat. A rogue
must be at least 8th level to select this talent.
Look what we can do: If a bard is currently using a bardic
performance, you may spend a move action to attempt a
Perform(dance) or Perform(oratory) check against DC 10 + that
bard's highest perform modifier. If you succeed, you may choose
to maintain that performance for the round as if you were the
originating bard. You may surrender the performance back to the
bard on your next turn, or choose to keep the performance
yourself.
Rain Sneak: If you are flanking an opponent, and only when you
are flanking an opponent, if you deal sneak attack attack you may
elect for half the sneak attack damage to be electricity rather than
precision damage.
Stormy positioning: at the start of your turn, select one ally that
also threatens an opponent adjacent to you. You and the selected
ally count as flanking the adjacent opponent even if you are not
in the correct position to do so. This lasts until the start of your
next turn.
Samurai
A samurai that worships Hei Feng is of the ronin order and gains
Heal and Knowledge(nature) as class skills in addition to those
granted by the Ronin order. These Samurai gain 2 additional skill
points per level, though these skill points must be spent in the
class skills granted by this ability or the ronin order.
Lightning rod Standard(Ex): These banners are unique to Hei
Fengan Samurai. An ally who benefits from this standard gains a
+1 bonus on saving throws that deal elemental damage. At 10th
level and every 5 levels thereafter this bonus on saving throws
increases by 1. At 14th level, an ally benefiting from the banner
gains a +2 morale bonus on initiative checks. When the samurai
carrying this standard takes electricity damage, he may make a
Fortitude save against the damage's source; on a success his next
melee attack deals an additional amount of electricity damage
equal to half the damage he took.
Page 13
 Shaman
A shaman of Hei Feng may select the Wind Ward wind-spirit hex
regardless which spirit she actually has.
Duke's Annoyance: In place of an attack, the shaman may make
a ranged touch attack against a creature within close distance,
dealing 1d3 electricity damage per 3 levels(minimum 1d3). This
damage counts as ongoing damage for the purpose of casting
spells on the following round. A shaman with this ability gains 2
fewer cantrips known.
Spirit cloud: A shaman of Hei Feng gains the assistance of a
unique spirit animal in the form of a small stormcloud. This spirit
animal functions as a small air elemental. The spirit cloud
advances as normal except its hit dice are half the
masters(minimum 1). When the spirit cloud's hit dice would
equal that of a larger air elemental, it increases to match that
elemental's statistics. This alters Spirit Animal.
Storm Dedicant: The shaman gains selects one domain available
to clerics of Hei Feng. She gains the 1st level domain power of
the selected domain, and adds all its domain spells to the shaman
spell list. Any spells already on the shaman spell list, she instead
casts at +1 caster level. This may be selected in place of a
Shaman Hex.
Shifter
Barded(Su): The shifter may wear armor made of any material.
Starting at 5th level, when the shifter wild shapes, her armor is
not harmlessly absorbed and instead transforms into applicable

Treatise on Divinity: Hei Feng
Skald
A skald that worships Hei Feng treats Intimidate as an associated
skill for all Perform skills.
A skald that worships Hei Feng may use Perform(Dance) with
all class features that rely on the perform skill. For the Skald the
associated skills for Perform(Dance) are Acrobatics, Intimidate,
and Swim.
Dance of Doom(Su): The skald's Dirge of Doom requires
audible and somatic components and affects only creatures that
can see and hear the skald. This performance can cause a creature
to become frightened or panicked. This modifies Dirge of Doom.
Song of the Oath: If a skald that worships Hei Feng uses Song of
the Fallen to raise an ally for which he has sworn the Fourfold
Oath; Any healing spell of 5th level or higher cast on the raised
ally, functions as Breath of Life. A creature that would be
"returned to life" by this effect, is no longer subjected to Song of
the Fallen. This alters song of the fallen.
Slayer
Shaken Quarry(Ex): The slayer's attacks shake with the fury of
the storm. When the slayer strikes his quarry, the target must
succeed at a Fortitude save DC 10+ half the slayers level + his
dexterity modifier. On a failure, the target is shaken for 2 rounds.
This is not a fear effect. The slayer cannot take 10 on survival
skill checks while tracking his quarry. This modifies Quarry.

level for the purposes of qualifying for feats. This replaces Track.

power.

Swashbuckler
A swashbuckler that worships Hei Feng treats the Nine-ring
broadsword as a one handed melee piercing weapon for all class
abilities and is proficient in its use. In addition, all additional
damage options provided by the swashbuckler class are
electricity damage instead of their normal damage type when
used in conjunction with the nine-ring broadsword.
Aftershock(Sp): The swashbuckler's attacks with a piercing, one-
handed or light, melee weapon deal an additional 1d6 sonic
damage on a successful attack. The swashbuckler may spend a
point of panache to automatically inflict this damage(as was
rolled, not a new roll) on another creature within 10ft behind the
target. This sonic damage increases by 1d6 at 7th level and every
4 levels thereafter. This replaces Precise Strike.
Life response(Su): When an adjacent ally fails a saving throw,
you may spend a use of charmed life to force the ally to reroll the
saving throw. On a failure, you suffer the effect instead of the
ally. This does not work on effects you have to save against as
well. This modifies Charmed Life.
Parry over there(Ex): The swashbuckler can attempt to parry an
attack against an adjacent ally, doing so costs an additional attack
of opportunity above normal. This alters Parry and Riposte.

attack. The vigilante's attacks deal an additional 1d4 points of
damage per 2 vigilante levels to flanked opponents. This can only
be selected by Avenger vigilante's.

descriptors, the warpriest may attempt a Perform(Dance) check

increase in spell level or casting time. This may be selected as a
Warpriest bonus feat.
Sacred East(Su): If the warpriest's Sacred Armor ability is tied to
an eastern armor such as a Lamellar, the bonus increases by 1 at
9th level and every 2 levels thereafter. This alters Sacred Armor.

upon hitting a creature to have his sacred weapon deal electricity

as a rogue of her level instead of the normal Base Attack Bonus

does not have feathers and is not a tengu.
Love of a friend(Su): The witch fills an ally with great luck and
power. The ally gains a +2 morale bonus to the witches choice of

introduced an item, the Portable Altar, and its magic equivalent,
the Masterwork Portable Altar.
A Masterwork Portable Altar to Hei Feng has a Favored Craft
skill of ‘Craft(Alchemy)’ and an Aided Skill of
‘Perform(Dance)’.
ITEMS
Alchemically treated paper: Price(per sheet) +4sp; Weight -;
Craft DC 13. Appearing to be a normal piece of paper, this sheet
burns with a rainbow of colors. When burnt as the material
component of an illusion(pattern) spell, the spell's DC increases
by 1.
Faraday lining: Price 15gp; Weight 6lbs. Worn atop armor, this
metal lattice redirects electricity away from the wearer safely
toward the ground. While worn, the wearer gains a +4
circumstance bonus on Reflex saving throws against electricity

This tangle of material about the size of a fist is loud and crunchy
whenever moved. The hairball can be ripped at as a standard

thunderstone. The hairball can be used in this manner 5 times
before there isn't enough mass left to continue.
Raindrop Feather token: Price 150gp; Weight 1 lb. This token
creates a 30ft radius sphere of heavy rain. This functions as
normal for heavy rain and grants concealment to all within the
area. The rain lasts for 1 hour; summoning water at its edges and
the water disappears after striking the ground.
Symbol of the oath
Price x5; Weight x2
Some worshipers of Hei Feng create an interesting 5 piece holy
symbol. The symbol has at its core the standard holy symbol of
the duke of thunder, however, from this standard symbol hangs
four smaller symbols each representing one of Hei Feng's counts.
These smaller symbols can be removed and gifted to other
people. So long as a symbol of a count is in the possession of the
creature it was given to, spells such as scrying that utilize the
Symbol of the oath as a focus component, do not allow the
creature saving throws.

REFORGED BLADES
The following character options are intended to help players
show more diverse connections to Hei Feng. But it should be
stressed that these materials vary in balance and should be
seriously considered by a GM before being allowed. Even if the

they approve anything that follows.

Divine Intercession
The Duke of Thunder’s intercessions are seen more commonly
than other deities’ because of the god’s closeness to mortals, but
also because of his tendency to dispense both boons and curses
while in the depths of his drink.
Minor Boon: The Heavenly Court’s most boastful deity ensures
your boasts hit home. Once, when you fail an Intimidation check,
you critically succeed instead. Hei Feng grants this boon
capriciously based on his mood, sometimes even for trivial or
inconsequential boasts, and he sometimes grants it for other skill
checks related to boasts.
Moderate Boon: Fair winds and currents speed your passage.
Any vessel you use to travel over the sea gains a +10-foot status
bonus to its Speeds.
Major Boon: The instruments of the storm spare you from their
fury. You ignore all effects and penalties caused by precipitation
and winds, and you can see normally through fog, rain, and other
weather conditions.
Minor Curse: Hei Feng’s belligerence hangs over you like a
thunderhead. You take a –1 status penalty to checks with
Charisma-based skills. If you consume even a drop of alcohol,
this penalty becomes –3 until the next sunrise.
Moderate Curse: Your heart is as quick to change as Hei
Feng’s. If you roll a failure on a saving throw against an emotion
effect, you get a critical failure instead.
Major Curse: The Duke of Thunder’s ire follows you wherever
you go. The weather in a 500-foot radius around you is always
stormy. Roughly twice each minute you are outside, you are
struck by a bolt of lightning that deals 10d6 electricity damage
(DC 40 basic Reflex save).
[HeiFeng]: The Hei Feng trait indicates items that can only be
selected by tengu, or creatures that worship Hei Feng.

Treatise on Divinity: Hei Feng Page 20

YANJIRAN SHIPS
The following are just suggestions and advice for GMs.
Sometimes it's nice to have external information to build off of in
a hurry or use when necessary. The contents included here is just
advice for what can be done to flesh out the presence of the Duke
of Thunder in your campaigns.
COMMUNING
This section includes advice to try and help make roleplaying the
responses to Commune more manageable with little preparation.
The use of "commune" in this context refers to both the
Commune spell, as well as Contact Other Plane and similar
effects.
Storm's Eyes are by far the most common entities to answer
commune spells reaching out to the Duke of Thunder. They
typically answer quickly and have a habit of not waiting until a
question is finished if they believe they understand the general
concept of what's being asked. They appear to be fond of using
the terms "very bright" or "lightning fast" in place of yes, and
"ice cold" or "wrong wind" in place of no's.
Celestial Vrocks prefer to answer the communes of those who
are faithful both to Hei Feng and Lady Jingxi. When they do so,
they cackle incessantly and their answers are typically a sensation
of a very light electrical shock. The shock appears in the feet for
a yes, the hands for a no, and the rear for answers the Vrock
doesn't know.
The Duke’s Receptionist answers the communes of those who
do not worship Hei Feng but attempt to commune with him.
They're curt, very orderly, and have a tendency to tack the phrase
"Watch out for storms" after a final yes, no, or unknown answer.
Baofeng is the most likely of the four counts to answer a
commune, and has been known to take a commune away from
the other counts when they begin to get restless. He is calm and
intelligent and is considered an expert on many forms of art and
typically knows large amounts of information about communities
near where the communer is casting their spell. His answers
sometimes break the rules of the spell contacting him, going over
by one or two words or being slightly more accurate in their
information than the rolls might suggest.
Quiyu responds to communes quickly, sometimes 'answering'
the spell before the caster fully completes casting it. She is quiet
and soft spoken, with a penchant for interpretting questions as
literally as possible with as little understanding of external
context as she can manage.
Kaishun enjoys answering commune's with a bellow.
Communer's not resistant or immune to sonic damage should be
stunned or offput by the effect, and many lose a question as a
result. His answers are loud but short. Of those who respond to
communes to Hei Feng, the count of thunder is the most
knowledgeable about magic, spellcasting, and the ways around
magical contracts or systems.
Hei Feng can’t really be described as answering communes. It is
more akin to the caster accidentally listening in on him. The
Duke of Thunder will often ramble, breaking the rules of
whatever spell is contacting him, and is only ever tangentially
related to the question asked. Communer’s can end their own
spell contacting him at any time, though he has been known to
randomly drop obscure foreshadowings of what’s to come amid
his drunken ravings.
Treatise on Divinity: Hei Feng
SUMMONING
This section provides advice on how servants of Hei Feng would
behave if summoned by player characters. This is intended to
help you run the creature with little notice. Sections are described
using spells and terminology from the Pathfinder Roleplaying
Game and do not include the Planar Binding spell. All creatures
below can be called with the Planar Ally Ritual in the second
edition of the Pathfinder Roleplaying game, though the rest of the
information does not change between editions.
Storms eye's, when summoned by faithful of Hei Feng, demand
payment in time spent creating works of art. The storm's eye will
usually return months or even years later to 'collect' these works
of art, though this collection usually simply involves the
elemental growing still for a moment to observe the work of art.
In combat they do not stop moving, bouncing around the
battlefield and seem to be particularly fond of triggering attacks
of opportunity.
Both Vrocks and Celestial Vrocks can be summoned by faithful
of Hei Feng. In combat, when summoned by faithful of Hei feng,
they tend to prefer hovering above their summoner, dancing as
much as possible and making attacks of opportunity against any
creature that approaches. If the vrock hears out an agreement,
their usual payment request is to be permitted to do as they please
once the task is completed. Celestial Vrocks will often repair
local buildings manually or with the assistance of their spore-
grown vines. Normal Vrocks will typically take the opportunity
to cause as much carnage as possible
The Duke's Receptionist can be summoned like any other
Yamabushi Tengu. However, he usually demands an
exceptionally high price for his services, either triple the
expected value in gold, or the summoners time. The summoner
would need to agree to perform the Receptionist's duties for as
long as the task takes, and the same period again thereafter. In
combat the Receptionist focus' on drawing attention to the
opponents who least want to be in melee, and often does
everything he can to counter any means the target has to escape
melee combat. He is fond of flanking and can always make
attacks of opportunity when an adjacent target casts teleportation
spells even if they cast defensively.
The act of summoning one of Hei Feng’s four counts(Baofeng,
Quiyu, Kaishun, and Lixia) is an incredibly risky decision.
While all of them are formidable combatants on par with the
divine herald of any other deity, the problem comes not from
their behavior in a fight but the danger in their presence. Each of
the four counts are generally playful and take a careless attitude
to any task given to them even combat. However, whenever they
would take damage, there is a chance Hei Feng himself will step
in to intervene. Should one be ‘killed’, the act that would kill
them is immediately interrupted and intercepted by the duke
himself. When he arrives in this fashion, Hei Feng is never in a
good mood, and both the one who struck his count, and the
summoner who called on them, are in immediate dire straits.

COUNCILERS
Tacca(CG Female Vishkanya Occultist 4) loves to hear the tales
of adventures and storms from fellow Hei Fengans, and will
eagerly transform these stories into poems and songs to share as
prayers. She likes to imagine herself as a grounding force,
helping equal out the unrestrained and over-excitable nature of
her fellow Hei Fengans, much as the Poet of Dawn and Dusk
herself did for the Duke of Thunder.
Teodor(CG Male Coldborn Beastkin Cavalier 2) enjoys the
thought that he is among the more civilized of the faithful of the
Duke of Thunder. While only new to his quest, Teodor seeks to
change the perception of the faith of Hei Feng and help others to
see the nuances hidden in his lord.
Juppo Motchul(CG Male Tengu Investigator 2) is a tall, slender
tengu man who is seen by many in his community as the town
drunk. Many people recommend avoiding him when he's
hungover, due to his seemingly irritable nature. In this state, he's
most often found in random gardens around the village, plucking
out small weeds and collecting random insects. What most don't
realise however, is that Juppo does not drink alcohol. His
drunken ramblings and dances are prayers to the Duke of
Thunder, for the protection of the community, and his
"hangovers" are a convenient excuse for people to avoid him
while he cleans various gardens and protects the crops of the
local tea plants.
Vorca(CN Male Uhlam Halfling Occultist 10) is a middle aged
halfling who lives on the outskirts of his small fishing village.
His home is surrounded by tea plants, which he's well known for
selling the harvest from for his essentials. Most visitors to town
stay at his home instead of any other estate in town, where they
report a strange schedule of peaceful hours of meditation,
reading, and gardening, offset by short stints of overly energetic
painting or unnervingly dangerous whittling. It is Vorca's opinion
that the peace of civilization requires an outlet for the dangerous
animalistic nature of all.
WRITHING SEAS
Pair Goqo(CE Genderfluid Tengu Sorcerer 6/Alchemist 8) is a

simply learned how to harness their destructive bloodline for the
augmentation of spells in ship-to-ship combat and the
development of alchemical ammunition for seige weaponry. One

is the habit of singing the events of a battle as prayers to Hei
Feng.

Call lightning(Su) The Stormeater can make a unique ranged
attack that functions similar to the call lightning spell. The attack
is a 30 foot tall line of electricity that descends to a point
designated within 60 feet of the Stormeater. This functions as the
Call lightning spell for any abilities the Stormeater possesses but
counts as an attack rather than as a standard action. The
Stormeater can only use this ability underwater or in storms.
Shock vigor(Su) When the Stormeater would take electricity
damage, it instead is affected by the haste spell with a caster level
equal to the original source of the damage. Non-magical sources
of electricity damage have an effective casterlevel of one third
the number of dice they roll.
It is believed the first Stormeater fish was created by a mortal
worshipper of Gozreh in an attempt to craft a simulacrum of a
Xocothian. It is said that the Duke of Thunder stepped in to abate
the ire of the Wind and the Waves, taking the strange creature as
his own and transmuting it to flesh and blood while maintaining
the artisan's marks; that it might breed and show his creativity
across the world.
Stormeater fish are a strange kind of predator, hunting birds and
fish, with a particular taste for Shocker Lizards that they can
manage to overwhelm with their currents.

Languages Tien(can't speak)
Ecology
Environment Any
Organization solitary, cluster(2-4), or rave(5-12)
Lightning Rod(Su) Lightning and magical effects that deal
electricity damage that pass within 20ft automatically target the
Gnorb instead of the intended target. If the effect would target
multiple creatures or an area, it only targets the Gnorb. If more
than one Gnorb's Lightning Rod ability would affect the same
effect, it affects all such Gnorbs simultaneously. A Gnorb can
activate or deactivate this ability as a free action.
Grounding(Ex) The Gnorb loses its immunity to electricity
when not in contact with the ground. If a Gnorb is not in contact
with the ground but succeeds at a stinger attack against a creature
that is, the gnorb is considered in contact with the ground so long
as it remains adjacent to that creature.
Pitiful(Ex) The gnorb's pitiful appearance lends it mercy where
it may not exist. Creatures immune to mind-affecting effects are
not immune to any mind-affecting effects caused or centered on
the Gnorb, though they do gain a +4 bonus on the saving throw.
Creatures not immune to mind-affecting effects instead take a -5
penalty on will saves against mind-affecting effects caused or
centered on a Gnorb.
Gnorbs are the unfortunate result of Hei Feng deciding to
attempt to create life whilst in the midst of perhaps his deepest
and most drunken ramblings. These poor creatures weren't so
much designed as thrown together and barely function. They are
at least however imbued with the Duke of Thunder's love of
music, dance, and a means by which to survive his wrath. When
they gather in large numbers, they often attract all the lightning of
a storm to their area, creating beautiful and semi-harmless light
shows in the distance from large settlements. Due to their bizarre
appearance, Gnorbs are flighty and meek, fleeing from battle and
only attacking when forced to buy enough time to escape. Several
Gnorbs have been known to take levels in Oracle or Sorcerer, and
typically focus on illusion or mind-affecting magic when they do.

Prickle of Light(Ex) The lightroller can grapple a creature of
any size. If it grapples a creature normally too large, it instead
sticks to the creature and moves with it when that creature
moves. A creature grabbed by a lightroller can take constrict
damage even if the creature is normally too large.
Split(Ex) Magical wind effects and effects that would move the
Lightroller against its will do not affect the lightroller normally.
Instead, the creature splits into two identical lightrollers, each
with half of the original creature's current hit point total, rounded
down. A Lightroller with 10 hit points or less cannot be further
split and dies if reduced to 0 hit points.
Storm sustenance(Su) Lightrollers cannot exist outside of the
area of a storm. Once the storm subsides to the point that
lightning will not be produced, remaining lightrollers expire after
1d6 rounds.
Thunderhealing(Su) Lightrollers are healed by electricity
damage in the same way undead are healed by negative energy.
Lightrollers can also be healed by positive energy like any other
living creature. The electricity damage caused by another
Lightroller does not activate this ability.
Lightrollers are manifestations where the maelstrom touches
particularly potent storms on the material plane. Well aware of
the fleeting nature of their assistance, lightrollers seek to cause as
much damage as possible for their entire lives. They are spawned
spontaneously during particularly potent storms and have a
particular fondness for attacking the faithful of storm gods,
reveling in bringing pain to those actively begging for mercy.

Special Abilities
Rain dancing (Su) The raindancer's movement on falling rain
causes many creatures great difficulty in precisely pinpointing it.
The raindancer benefits from a constant blur effect and does not
take fall damage.
Windcarrier (Su) The raindancer may choose whether to be
affected by wind and forced movement effects and when it uses
its dimension door ability, the movement does not provoke
attacks of opportunity.

Raindancer's are unique among fey in that they originate from the
maelstrom itself. Raindancers are playful cruel fey they delight in
torturing mortals. Some believe that particularly violent
thunderstorms are augmented by one or even several raindancers.

Pitiful The gnorb's pitiful appearance lends it mercy where it
may not exist. Creatures immune to mental lose that immunity
regarding effects caused or centered on the Gnorb, though they
do gain a +4 bonus on the saving throw. Creatures not immune to
mental instead take a -5 penalty on will saves against mental
effects caused or centered on a Gnorb.
Gnorbs are the unfortunate result of Hei Feng deciding to
attempt to create life whilst in the midst of perhaps his deepest
and most drunken ramblings. These poor creatures weren't so
much designed as thrown together and barely function. They are
at least however imbued with the Duke of Thunder's love of
music, dance, and a means by which to survive his wrath. When
they gather in large numbers, they often attract all the lightning
of a storm to their area, creating beautiful and semi-harmless
light shows in the distance from large settlements. Due to their
bizarre appearance, Gnorbs are flighty and meek, fleeing from
battle and only attacking when forced to buy enough time to
escape. Several Gnorbs have been known to take levels in Oracle
or Sorcerer, and typically focus on illusion or mind-affecting
magic when they do.

 LIGHTROLLER(Creature 8)
This ball of electricity looks almost like a tumbleweed as it
bounces through the air.

Storm sustenance Lightrollers cannot exist outside of the area
of a storm. Once the storm subsides to the point that lightning
will not be produced, remaining lightrollers expire after 1d6
rounds.

Split Whenever a lightroller is hit by an attack or effect that
would deal electricity damage and the lightroller has at least 10
HP, the lightroller splits into two identical lightrollers with half
the original’s HP. One lightroller is in the same space as the
original, and the other appears in an adjacent unoccupied space.
If no adjacent space is unoccupied, it automatically pushes
creatures and objects out of the way to fill a space (the GM
decides if an object or creature is too big or sturdy to push).
Speed 50 feet., fly 25 feet
Melee<1> slam +20 (agile, finesse), Damage 2d6+8 electricity
and 2d6+8 piercing plus grab
Prickle of Light The lightroller can grapple a creature of any
size. If it grapples a creature normally too large, it instead sticks
to the creature and moves with it when that creature moves. A
creature grabbed by a lightroller can take constrict damage even
if the creature is normally too large.
Lightrollers are manifestations where the maelstrom touches
particularly potent storms on the material plane. Well aware of
the fleeting nature of their assistance, lightrollers seek to cause as
much damage as possible for their entire lives. They are spawned
spontaneously during particularly potent storms and have a
particular fondness for attacking the faithful of storm gods,
reveling in bringing pain to those actively begging for mercy.
