_______________________________________
DISADVANTAGES
PHOBIA OF WATER: (Disadvantage provides 6 CPs)- Like many Dervatear, Hroknar has a moderate fear of water. He dislikes boats and narrow footbridges that allow travel over water. In any event, he cannot be compelled to enter water that is much deeper than his waist. Hroknar can never have the non-weapon proficiencies boat handling, deep diving, or swimming. In appropriate instances, Hroknar must make a saving throw based on Wisdom (at -2 to die roll, i.e. 12 or less on d20) to function normally.
AXEMASTER ABILITIES
(05) Circle of Power: If an Axemaster possesses a Holy Axe, sanctified by the Dervatear Sect of Tseld, he can project a circle of power 10' in diameter. This circle has a chance to dispel hostile magic at a level equal to the experience of the Axemaster.
(05) Healing: The ability to heal either himself or another of the Dervatear race by laying on hands, at a rate of two hit points regained per level of experience. This can be accomplished only once per day.
(05) Leadership: An Axemaster has the ability to lead large numbers of Dervatear warriors into battle through the inspirational presence of being led by an Axemaster. Reactions from Dervatear, even when not in a battle-like situation, are improved three slots. The Axemaster is able to take charge of up to 50 Dervatear warriors per level of experience.
(10) Priest Spells: Beginning at 8th level, the Axemaster can learn and employ priest spells from the following spheres: Combat; Guardian; Protection; Elemental, Earth; and War. Spell determination is the same as for Rangers.
(10) Special Enemy: Axemasters often focus their efforts on one particularly bothersome enemy of their homelands. An Axemaster must select an appropriate racial foe before rearching the 2nd level of experience. The DM must approve the player's choice. From that point on, the Axemaster gains a +4 bonus to all attack rolls against that type of creature. The Axemaster can attempt to hide the enmity he feels for that type of creature, but suffers a -4 reaction roll against the designated special foe. Further, the Axemaster should seek out this type of foe when present, unless some obviously greater danger exists to threaten the welfare of either himself, his comrades, or the mission.
(10) Weapon Specialization: The Axemaster has the ability to specialize in a particular weapon, receiving bonuses to attack rolls and damage. The character points for acquiring the specialization also must be met during the weapon proficiency phase of character creation or character improvement.
