Ten years ago, a terrible blight came upon his homeland, transforming it into a desert. He saw so many of the animals and plants waste away, but was helplessly unable to save them. The villages became a collection of ghost towns as the wells dried up. For several years, he was heart-broken, feeling as though the land itself betrayed him. Eventually, he realized that death is as much part of the cycle of life as birth. He now reverences death as he once reverenced life and seeks to maintain the cycle of life and death. He now celebrates the change of his homeland to a nearly lifeless waste, as it opened his mind to new ways of thinking. With this change of thinking, he took a new name: Shadow of Ruin. This reminds him of what he once was and what he's become. He still cares about nature and seeks to protect it, but he now reverences the entire cycle of life. He would protect a desert from destruction the same as a forest, but he won't intervene to prevent a forest from becoming a desert or vice-versa, so long as it's natural. This has brought him into conflict with many of his Druid brethren, often leaving him with bitter feelings toward them for their "closed-mindedness." 0 0 250 12 12 12 12 0 0 0 0 true true true Advantages Divine Powers (Death Druid) Divine -10 total Pact (Fanaticism, Sense of Duty (Nature)) -10 total Alternate Form (Human Skeleton) Physical, Exotic 0 15 B83 Without Automaton, Cannot Learn and Reprogrammable Advantage Alternate Form (Human Zombie) Physical, Exotic 0 15 B83 Without Automaton, Cannot Learn and Reprogrammable Advantage Combat Reflexes Mental 15 B43 Never freeze; +6 on all IQ rolls to wake up or to recover from surprise or mental stun; Your side gets +1 to initiative rolls (+2 if you're the leader) Advantage fast-draw 1 dodge 1 parry 1 block 1 fright_check 2 Fatigue Magery Mental, Supernatural 200 1 1 All Spells Available (Common) 30 total All Spells Available (Uncommon) 60 total Can't Maintain Spells -30 total Dance -40 total Dark-Aspected -50 total Day-Aspected -40 total Musical -50 total Night-Aspected -40 total No Armor -45 total No Facial Components 5 total No Foot Components 10 total No Gesture Components 10 total No Material Components 30 total No Speech Components 20 total No Spell Components 75 total One College Only (@Average College@) -50 total One College Only (@Easy College@) -60 total One College Only (@Hard College@) -40 total Reduced Fatigue Cost 20 1 total Requires Holy Symbol -15 total Requires Holy Symbol in Hand -20 total Requires Talisman (@Talisman@) -30 total Requires Talisman in Hand (@Talisman@) -40 total Solitary -40 total Song -40 total Spells Require Consciousness -20 total Spells Require Sight -35 total Unusual Methods (Religious) 0 total Unusual Methods (@Methods@) 20 1 total Wild Magic -40 total Divination, Life, Protection and Summoning Colleges Only -20 total Advantage Occult/Magical Insubstantiality Mental/Physical, Exotic 80 Affect Substantial 100 total B63 Can Carry Objects 10 total B63 Up to No Encumbrance Can Carry Objects 20 total B63 Up to Light Encumbrance Can Carry Objects 50 total B63 Up to Medium Encumbrance Can Carry Objects 100 total B63 Up to Heavy Encumbrance Partial Change 20 total B63 Partial Change 100 total B63 Can turn an item you are carrying substantial without dropping it Always On -50 total B63 Usually On -40 total B63 Materialization costs 1 FP per second No Vertical Move -10 total P56 Noisy -5 total P56 Projection -50 total P56 B62 Advantage See Invisible Physical, Exotic 15 True Sight 50 total P73 B83 Ghosts Advantage True Faith Mental, Supernatural 15 Chosen 0 total P84 @Deity@ Turning 65 total P84 B94 Advantage Reduced Consumption Physical 2 2 Cast-Iron Stomach -50 total B80 Food Only -50 total B80 Water Only -50 total B80 B80 Advantage Disadvantages Duty (League of Adventurers) Social FR: 6 -2 total FR: 9 -5 total FR: 12 -10 total FR: 15 -15 total Extremely Hazardous -5 total Involuntary -5 total Nonhazardous 5 total B133 Disadvantage Fanatacism Mental -15 Extreme 0 total B136 B136 Disadvantage Intolerance (People that Disrespect the Cycle of Life) Mental Scope: Common -5 total B140 Scope: Occassional -2 total B140 Scope: Rare -1 total B140 Scope: Anyone unlike you -10 total B140 B140 Disadvantage Odious Personal Habit Physical -10 B22 Eating Live Bugs; -2 Reaction Disadvantage One Eye Physical -15 B147 Disadvantage Sense of Duty Mental -5 B153 Nature Disadvantage Wealth (Dead Broke) Social -25 B25 Disadvantage Languages Language: Common Mental Native -6 total B23 Spoken 0 total B24 None Spoken 1 total B24 Broken Spoken 2 total B24 Accented Spoken 3 total B24 Native Written 0 total B24 None Written 1 total B24 Broken Written 2 total B24 Accented Written 3 total B24 Native B24 Advantage Language Language Talent Quirks Horrible Hangovers Physical -1 B165 Quirk Uncongenial Mental -1 B164 Quirk Combat Two-Handed Axe/Mace DX/A 8 B208 Combat/Weapon Melee Combat DX -5 Skill Axe/Mace -3 Skill Polearm -4 Skill Two-Handed Flail -4 Magic Magic Divination IQ/H 2 Occult/Magical Ritual Magic 12 Skill Ritual Magic -6 Skill Magic!
