Male Human Fighter 4/Rogue 18, age 37 (adult)

Copyright © 2003 by Eden Celeste All rights reserved.

Here is where I will have a paragraph describing Igor's appearance, personality, and, perhaps, his usual tactics. A DM should be able to take this and have a fully usable NPC.

Igor Youngblood CR 22
Male human Fighter 4/Rogue 18
N Medium humanoid
Init +11; Senses darkvison 60' (from Igor's Eyes of Improved Understanding); Perception +39
Languages Common, Dwarven, Elvish, Drow
Height 6 ft. 2 in., weight 205 lb., age 37.
XP: (ECL 22) 231,000 + 1,901 = 232,901 + 20,099 = 253,000 (ECL 23)

Evasion (Ex): If exposed to any effect that normally allows a character to attempt a Reflex saving throw for half damage, Igor takes no damage with a successful saving throw.

Fly as a Vaati: For a total of seven hours per week, divided up any way he chooses, Igor can fly at a speed of 30 ft. with perfect maneuverability.

Friend and ally of the wind dukes: As one of the characters who recovered the Rod of Seven Parts, Igor will be forever remembered as a friend and ally of the wind dukes: the vaati. As such, no creature of air nor any being of the Elemental Plane of Air will attack him without being attacked first, and all such creatures will demonstrate respect for him and will assist him if able.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Igor cannot be flanked. Another rogue cannot sneak attack him unless that rogue is four or more levels higher than he is.

Opportunist (Ex): Once per round, Igor can make an attack of opportunity against another character who has just been struck in melee by another character.

Sneak Attack: If Igor's opponent is ever denied his Dexterity bonus to AC, or if Igor flanks him, he does an extra 9d6 damage on each attack.

Slippery Mind (Ex): If Igor is affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails his saving throw, he can attempt it one round later at the same DC.

Trap Sense (Ex): Igor receives a +6 dodge bonus to AC against attacks by traps and a +6 bonus on Reflex saves to avoid traps.

Trapfinding: Igor can use the Search skill to find traps with Search DCs higher than 20, and the Disable Device skill to disarm magical traps.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Igor does not lose his Dexterity bonus to AC when he is flat-footed or fighting an invisible opponent.

This is a set of five rings, each wrought of gold in the form of a dragon twisting around the wearer's finger. Just as every dragon is unique, every dragon eye ring is different. On each ring, the dragon's head is seen from a side-view and has a small gem inset as the eye, intent upon the viewer. One ring has an emerald, one a sapphire, one a ruby, one a clear diamond, and one a piece of jet.

detect magic reveals an aura of strong abjuration.
identify and analyze dweomer reveal nothing.

legend lore revealed that this minor artifact set is very rare. These rings are badges of honor to the Dragonmasters of Lynn, though a few rings have made their way to Eastern Oerik. Their manufacture is held as a secret by the artificers of that secretive order, so these may not be reproduced.

Experimentation and powerful divinations might reveal the powers of the rings.

(Having done so, the party has determined the following):

Each of the five rings grants continuous see invisible to the wearer, provides a +10 competence bonus to Perception (Spot and Listen), grants a 20 ft. enhancement bonus to the fly speed of the bearer and all allies within 30 feet, and gives a +2 (typeless) bonus to Reflex saves vs. Dragon Breath.

Each individual ring provides an additional bonus to the wearer, appropriate to the color of the stone interpreted as a particular type of chromatic dragon:

Emerald: 50% damage from an initial failed fortitude save vs. poison, eliminates need to make a second fortitude save a minute later.
Ruby: -25% damage from fire
Sapphire: -25% damage from electricity
Jet: -25% damage from acid
Diamond: -25% damage from cold

Caster level 12th. Market Value: ?

Golden Cuirass

This magical cuirass is made of a strange flaky metal. Closer inspection reveals that it appears to be reshaping and reforming its own metal surfaces, constantly writhing and changing as it rebuilds itself.

It is worth 1,000 gp due to its curious and unique nature.

Magical Adamantine Chest

This chest is long and narrow (3 feet by 1 foot by 1 foot) and made of adamantine. Although it isn't trapped, it is locked with a powerful magical lock. The "key" to opening this lock requires the casting of two shades spells in sequence. Both must be cast to duplicate a major creation spell, one to create an adamantine key, the other to create a physical adamantine lock attached to the chest. Without these spells, the chest simply cannot be opened. since it lacks a lid or hinges. Since there is no physical lock, the Open Lock skill can't be used to open the chest. Use Magic Device can work, however, to coax the lock into existence by activating blindly. This does not create the key required, however, so once the lock is activated (it persists for 20 rounds before fading away) it can be picked with a successful Open Locks chest (DC 40).

Caster level 5th. Market Value: 18,000 gp.

Shirt of the Free Moon (15,000)
