Viking Magic The following spells added to class spell list: 3rd—heart of the metal.

Magic Item Descriptions

bladed belt On command, transform belt into a single masterwork slashing and/or piercing melee weapon of your choice. If holding belt, can revert it back to belt form with a command.

cauldron of overwhelming allies 1/day—Use as focus or divine focus for a summon monster or summon nature's ally spell to automatically conjure 1d3 additional creatures from the next lower level list.

Emberchill A +1 frost sickle that can hold a single cold spell at a time that can be used, with a readied action and Spellcraft check, to counterspell a fire spell of one level lower than the stored cold spell.

extend metamagic rod 3/day—When casting spell up to 6th level, duration is twice as long as normal unless duration is concentration, instantaneous, or permanent. A sorcerer requires full-round action to use. Cannot be used with any other metamagic rod.

figurines of wondrous power (golden lions) When command word spoken, turns into a normal pair of lions under command of possessor. Can be used 1/day for up to 1 hour per use; if slain cannot be used again for 1 week. When duration passed or command spoken, once again becomes tiny statuette.

figurine of wondrous power (serpentine owl) When command word spoken, turns into a normal horned owl under command of possessor. Can be used 1/day for up to 8 hours per use. Owl communicates all it sees and hears to owner telepathically. When duration passed or command spoken, once again becomes tiny statuette. Up to 3 times ever (2 times remaining), instead transform into giant owl but then lose all magic permanently.

icicle wand As wand of ice spears. Also functions as masterwork dagger that deals 1 additional point of cold damage.

ioun torch Glows with continual flame. Hold and release to put in orbit 1d3 from your head. May seize and stow but loses benefits. Stone has AC 24, 10 hp, and hardness 5.

restorative ointment Can be applied to several wounds or conditions with varying effects. Placed upon poisoned wound or swallowed, detoxifies as neutralize poison with +5 bonus to check. Applied to diseased area, removes as remove disease with +5 bonus to check. Rubbed on wound, cure 1d8+5 damage as cure light wounds.

robe of useful items 1/round—As standard action, detach patch which becomes actual item. Patches remaining: bag of 100 gp, bullseye lantern (full and lit) (2), dagger (2), hempen rope (50 ft.) (2), ladder, mirror (2' x 4' steel) (2), pole (10-ft.) (2), potion of cure serious wounds, rowboat, sack (2).

shadow falconer's glove On command, 1/day, gesture toward creature within 30 ft. Shadowy silhouette of bird of prey appears, swoops toward target, and performs a disarm or steal combat maneuver (wearer's choice, CMB +16). Magical effect, not a creature, and this action does not provoke attacks of opportunity. If hand is empty, brings item to you. Otherwise, deposits item in unoccupied space adjacent to you. Shadow then disappears.

sleeves of many garments As standard action, slide over arms to change appearance of clothing into any other nonmagical set of clothing. When sleeves removed, clothes revert to normal form.

spectacles of understanding When worn, any languages read convert to one language you know, as comprehend languages. Gain +5 bonus to Linguistics checks to identify forgeries and can make such checks untrained (factored into Skills above).

wand of bouncing flaming sphere Upon command, this wand targets a single creature within 150 ft. with a flaming sphere spell (DC 14 Reflex negates). If the target makes the save, as a swift action direct the spell to another eligible target within range. The redirected spell behaves in all ways as if its new target were the original target for the spell, and that target gets a DC 14 Reflex save to negate. The spell lasts for 5 rounds.

Metamagic Feats During spell preparation, choose which spells to prepare with metamagic feats (and thus take up higher-level spell slot). Does not change level of the spell, so the DC for saving throws does not increase. Do not affect spell-like abilities. Can apply multiple metamagic feats (assuming you have an available spell slot of the resulting level) but cannot apply same metamagic feat to single spell multiple times.

Maximize Spell All variable numeric effects modified by this feat are maximized. Saving throws and opposed rolls are not affected, nor are spells without random variables. Uses spell slot three levels higher than spell's actual level. An empowered, maximized spell gains the separate benefits of each feat: the maximum result plus half the normally rolled result.

Quicken Spell Cast spell as swift action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity; can perform another action, even casting another spell, in the same round as you cast a quickened spell. A spell whose casting time is more than 1 round or 1 full-round action cannot be quickened. Uses spell slot four levels higher than the spell’s actual level.

Natural Spell Can complete verbal and somatic components of spells while using while shape. Does not permit the use of magic items while you are in a form that could not ordinarily use them, and you do not gain the ability to speak while using wild shape.

Second Animal Focus (Su) When using animal focus, you select two aspects instead of one.

Spell Focus (conjuration) Add +1 to the Difficulty Class for all saving throws against spells from the conjuration school (already factored in Druid Spells Prepared section).

Spontaneous Casting "Lose" any prepared druid spell that is not an orison or domain spell in order to cast any summon nature's ally spell of the same spell level or lower.

Superior Summoning Each time you cast a summoning spell that conjures more than one creature, add one to the total number of creatures summoned.

Trackless Step (Ex) Leave no trail in natural surroundings and cannot be tracked. May choose to leave a trail if desired.

Wild Empathy (Ex) Within 30 ft. under normal visibility, can improve initial attitude of an animal just like a Diplomacy check to improve a person's attitude. Domestic animal has starting attitude of indifferent, wild animals are usually unfriendly. Can influence a magical beast with Int 1 or 2 at -4 penalty.

Wild Shapeability improves every 2 levels (Su) As standard action, change form (to or back) into a Diminutive, Tiny, Small, Medium, Large, or Huge animal (as beast shape III), without provoking attack of opportunity for 1 hour per druid level. The form chosen must be that of an animal with which you are familiar. Lose ability to speak in animal form, but can communicate normally with other animals of the same general grouping as your new form and make sounds normal untrained animal could make. Can alternately take form of Small, Medium, Large, or Huge elemental (as elemental body IV) or Small, Medium, Large, or Huge plant (as plant shape III).

Woodland Stride (Ex) Move through any sort of undergrowth (natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment. Thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that have been magically manipulated to impede motion, however, still affect you.

History The Raptorscale bought Deska as a young girl after she was caught stealing a pastry from a street vendor. When the baker caught her in the act she started to snarl, her nails started to grow, her eyes faded to yellow. She was just trying to survive but the town finally had it; an excuse to rid their streets of the strange, unwanted urchin. They alerted the Raptorscale and she was thrown into a cell with a young orc, Tiswichtt. Tiswichtt was filled with disgust for her and it only caused Deska to hate herself more. No family. No home. Not fully elf. Not fully Kellid. Not wanted by anyone or anything. Well... until the Raptorscale saw a use for her, a dirty fighter. They strategically paired Deska and Tiswichtt in warrior training. Unaware of their own potential, the Raptorscale saw the divine and arcane magic within each of them.

"I promise, Deska. This won't be the only winter we face together." This was the first time Deska can remember Tiswichtt calling her by name. She was trying to calm her nerves as the first winter arrived. In the early days of sharing a holding cell, Tiswichtt refused to even look her in the face but now she was bonded to Deska like no other. Because of the rigorous Raptorscale battle training, Deska discovered the feral druid shifter inside her. As they both unveiled their destiny, they grew closer, promising each other that they would face the harsh, cruel, world together.
