http://caterane.de/CoCo/Struktur/Mercenaries.jpg

- For Mercenaries only -

This thread is the fuel for the Mercenary Roster because all available Mercenaries (or Mercs) are drawn from this thread. It's simple: you post your idea for a new mercenary here in this thread (by using the Standard Mercenary Sheet below). If your proposal actually makes it onto the Mercenary Roster, you gain two credits.

Guidelines to create a Mercenary:
You must use the Standard Mercenary Sheet below although slight modifications are acceptable. You might also have to add or substract things depending on the kind of mercenary you are posting.
Before you determine the ECL of your mercenary, check the Mercenary Roster if there isn't already a similar mercenary, or already enough mercenaries of that level. This will increase the chances that your build will be picked.
Exotic Mercenaries are not forbidden but will be kept at a minimum. Likewise, Mercenaries should be easy to handle so a phrenic ghost pixie has little chance to enter the Merc Roster.
Mercenaries must have a personality because this affects their behaviour in a fight. Unlike normal allies, mercs have their own head and might not always comply with the gladiator's plans. Keep the personality description brief and simple though.
As said, Mercs have their own head. That's why they do not fight for every gladiator. A noble Paladin might decline offers from non-good PCs while an arrogant wizard snorts at non-spellcasters ...and wants twice his fee from them. There is basically no limit to the requirements but don't exagerate please.
You also must include a little background story for the mercenary but refrain from writing a novel. On the other hand, two lines are not much either.
Starting Gold: Use Table 4-23 from DMG, p127. No item worth more than 50% of the Starting Gold, and no more expendables (including all items that can be used up, such as ammunition, poison, charged items, etc.) than 10% of the Starting Gold.
Mercenaries use 25 point-buy to determine ability scores.
Mercenary may only have class allies (except Planar Cohorts and Thralls).


The fees for Mercenaries are this. Please note that the Character still suffers XP and Gold penalties for bringing in an ally on top of that! Price to hire a Mercenary

12-01-05, 01:20 PM		Standard Mercenary Sheet:
You have to comply with this sheet for what concerns all the informations; you may do any other changes, like adding colors, changing the font, and so on but you must keep the requested information. You will find several quotes throughout the sheet. These work like a guideline to the proper use of the Mercenary sheet and creation process.
Rightclick http://boards-mi.wizards.com/images/buttons/quote.gif below and open in a new window. Now switch back and forth between this sheet where you can read the guidelines and the new window with your Mercenary sheet where you will fill in all information as you go. Layout of your sheet:
Delete all that is not needed (eg. spells for a fighter) aswell as the quotes set around the whole text (because of hitting the 'quote' button). Text enclosed in (parenthesis) must be replaced with the appropriate content [example: "(gender+race)" => "male human"]; remove the parenthesis. Keep silvered text silvered as it improves the layout. Lines in Italics are optional and can be used or - if not used - deleted. Finally, please give him a first and a last name, or at least a good distinguishing nickname.

Note that the silvered values are the points spent on abilities by using the 25 Point-buy system from the DMG, p169. If your ability score is different to what the points spent implies, you must write the reason behind it; see 'Charisma' below for an example.

The following sections are for spellcasters and manifesters. Please keep in mind that you may only cast 1/3 of your spell-levels or use 1/3 of your powerpoint reserve in arena fights. For that reason, you must add your total spell levels (not counting cantrips) aswell as the number you may actually cast, which is 1/3 rounded up. Keep in mind that Mercs usually do not change their prepared spells.

Delete this section unless prepared caster.

The Mercenary may enter the arena with certain spells or abilities already in effect as long as the effect lasts for 16 hours or longer. Spells used as prebuffs do not count against his total spell-level limit (1/3) but must be [s]marked off in his Spell list by using the ]Strikethrough command or by silvering them out. Note that Mercenaries usually keep their pre-buffs during their carreer.

Buffs and Prefight actions:

- Inertial Armor [lasts 16 hours; used 1 PP]

Your Mercenary gets a certain amount of gold from which he buys his equipment. This amount is listed on DMG p127, Table 4-23. Use the ECL of the Mercenary. Mercs may never have a single item worth more than half their starting gold, and expendable items only up to 10% of their starting gold. Expendables or Items with multiple charges are always renewed after each fight. [u]Equipment [Weight] (Gold)

Character Background:
Unlike for PCs, the background story and personality for Mercenaries are mandatory because their behaviour depends on it. You can come up with anything you like as long as it sounds reasonable. If you have a long background story, make a short summary here, and put the long version in sblocks below. The Personality refers to the Mercs behaviour in a fight and goes into the next section below. Also tell us where he comes from (see World of Gladius (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=580765))

Character Personality:
<describe personality in fights>

Finally, you may give the Mercenary special requirements that player characters need to fulfill to be able to hire the Mercenary. A Paladin Merc may only fight for good-aligned characters, an arrogant wizard might want double his fee from non-spellcasters, and dwarves might give dwarven PCs a discount. The requirements are completely up to you. Write the Requirements into the code block at the top.

12-01-05, 01:23 PM		Getting a Mercenary Added to the Mercenary Roster

The process is simple.

Step 1: Person A proposes a mercenary and posts a correct sheet in the "Propose a Mercenary" thread.
Step 2: Person B (who is not Person A) reviews the mercenaries available and the mercenaries proposed and finds that a role is not covered that s/he would like to see covered. S/he asks for the mercenary that was proposed by Player A to be added to the Mercenary Roster.
Step 3: Elder A (TelinArtho at present) performs a thorough audit on the proposed mercenary. Assuming it passes the audit (with few, if any, changes), Elder A then reviews the role(s) of the character and researches whether they are already covered. Assuming they are not - the mercenary is added to the roster and is available as of the next pairings.

Simple process for a simple benefit.

In addition to proposing new mercenaries - it may be necessary to replace mercenaries that go unused or that are desired to be replaced. The process here is the same as the above, except that a proposed replacement also needs a proposed removal on the current roster.

As questions come up - I will use this post as a summary of those questions.

Barak wont aid arcane casters, when facing one in battle he will charge as soon as possible trying to inflict as much damage as possible.

Sparks knows how to make bombs and he isn't telling anyone else how he did it. Sparks' original name isn't known, but noone likes to get close enough to him to ask personal questions like that. It is rumored that before he came to gladius, he once burned his own wife and kids to death just to check out how the goblin body reacts to fire. In combat sparks is a sneaky fellow. He likes to get up close then toss one of his bombs on them. He fully understands the rules to gladius and is willing to die trying to help his master. Sparks only works for powerful sorcerors and mages, he feels that they all need a court alchemist and he is it. He has a bit of a cruel streak to him and will always go after the weak first.

Character Background:
Me cannot remember past. Me fights in arena. Me always charges at enemy, rages and attacks until enemy is dead. Me eats everything he kills. (whenever Bobo kills someone he starts eating it, even if the fight isnt over yet. He stops fighting and eats as long as he isnt attacked or has finished eating(takes 3 rounds for each size category of the "food" above tiny)) Me only works for someone who lets him eat things he kills. (Allowing Bobo to eat his enemies gives a character the cruel description for Leadership)

Mercenary Requirements:
non-good, non-lawful only
You can hire Bobo at increased costs(+25%) and disallow him to eat enemies.

Xander doesn't speak, he can understand common, but never says a word. This is due in part to the loss of much of his vocal capacity in a childhood brawl with his adopted brother - a full giant. Xander isn't afraid of opposition and will joyously charge into combat against any martial foe. Though he's not that bright, he knows the value of suprise and misdirection and will try to gain such advantages as often as possible. He distrusts spellcasters of all sorts and will avoid them if possible. The memory of his cruel sorceress mother has left a mark as deep as that of his brother.

Character Background:
Odruke has fallen out of favor with his lord, Holy Heironeous. He fights in the Arena to raise funds for a Temple of Heironeous; 4000 gold pieces is his goal. This is the atonement quest allotted to him by the Holy Captain of his home temple. After his goal has been reached, he will regain the favor of Heironeous (and all his divine abilities) and must continue to fight in Gladius until the new Temple is completed. This effectively places him in Gladius for about 30 years unless he can earn around 250,000 gold pieces sooner than that.

Odruke is a straightforward opponent, utilizing hard-charging, hit-and-run tactics from the back of a combat-trained mount. He is steadfast in battle, seeing his role as that of a protector rather than that of an aggressor. Odruke will keep his Gladiator nearby (say ~80 ft.) and charge any threat that prevents itself. He fancies delaying his turn until his Gladiator has decided what to do, feeling that he can make the most out of his actions after seeing the battlefield unfold.

Mercenary Requirements:
Gladiator must have an animal ally trained to carry a rider into combat available to be ridden by the Mercenary for the entire combat.
Gladiator must abide by the Paladin Code of Conduct for duration of the contract.

Shannara is an archer from the nearby forest. She enters Gladius in pursuit of the perfection with her chosen weapon -the longbow. She hopes one day to become as powerful as the fabled arcane archers of legend and will do almost anything to meet that goal. Shannara knows that mobility is as useful to a gladiator as a good set of armor. If she can gain any sort of speed advantage over the enemy she will use it. She likes horses and rides whenever possible, hoping to one day learn the art of mounted bowmanship.

Attacks:
Longbow: +5 ranged, 1d8+3 [20/x2] [110' range]
Unarmed Strike: +5 melee, 1d6+3 [20/x2]
Unarmed Strike, flurry: +3/+3 melee, 1d6+3 [20/x2]

Feats:
Deflect Arrows [Monk 2] Once per round when you would normally be hit with a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flatfooted. Attempting to deflect a ranged weapon doesn’t count as an action. Unusually massive ranged weapons and ranged attacks generated by spell effects can’t be deflected. You must have a hand free to use this feat.

Dodge [1st lvl] During your action, you designate an opponent and receive a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks from that opponent. You can select a new opponent on any action.

A condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. Also, dodge bonuses stack with each other, unlike most other types of bonuses.

Improved Grapple [Monk 1] You do not provoke an attack of opportunity when you make a touch attack to start a grapple. You also gain a +4 bonus on all grapple checks, regardless of whether you started the grapple.

Improved Unarmed Strike [Monk 1]

Point Blank Shot [3rd lvl] You get a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons at ranges of up to 30 feet.

Weapon Finesse [3rd lvl] May use dexterity bonus instead of strength bonus on attack rolls with light weapons.

Racial Abilities:
+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, –2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence.

Medium: As Medium creatures, elves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Elf base land speed is 30 feet.

Immunity to magic sleep effects, and a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects.

Low-Light Vision: An elf can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.

Weapon Proficiency: Elves receive the Martial Weapon Proficiency feats for the longsword, rapier, longbow (including composite longbow), and shortbow (including composite shortbow) as bonus feats.

+2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks. An elf who merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if she were actively looking for it.

Automatic Languages: Common and Elven. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, and Sylvan.

Favored Class: Ranger. A multiclass wood elf ’s wizard class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.

Class Abilities:
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Monks are proficient with club, crossbow (light or heavy), dagger, handaxe, javelin, kama, nunchaku, quarterstaff, sai, shuriken, siangham, and sling. Monks are not proficient with any armor or shields. When wearing armor, using a shield, or carrying a medium or heavy load, a monk loses her AC bonus, as well as her fast movement and flurry of blows abilities.

AC Bonus (Ex): When unarmored and unencumbered, the monk adds her Wisdom bonus (if any) to her AC. Ths bonus to AC applies even against touch attacks or when the monk is flat-footed. She loses these bonuses when she is immobilized or helpless, when she wears any armor, when she carries a shield, or when she carries a medium or heavy load.

Flurry of Blows (Ex): When unarmored, a monk may strike with a flurry of blows at the expense of accuracy. When doing so, she may make one extra attack in a round at her highest base attack bonus, but this attack takes a –2 penalty, as does each other attack made that round.

Unarmed Strike: At 1st level, a monk gains Improved Unarmed Strike as a bonus feat. A monk’s attacks may be with either fist interchangeably or even from elbows, knees, and feet. This means that a monk may even make unarmed strikes with her hands full.

Bonus Feat (Improved Grapple): At 1st level, a monk may select either Improved Grapple or Stunning Fist as a bonus feat.

Bonus Feat (Deflect Arrows): At 2nd level, she may select either Combat Reflexes or Deflect Arrows as a bonus feat.

Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level or higher if a monk makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if a monk is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless monk does not gain the benefit of evasion.

Fast Movement (Ex): At 3rd level, a monk gains an enhancement bonus to her speed (+10), as shown on Table: The Monk. A monk in armor or carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed.

Still Mind (Ex): A monk of 3rd level or higher gains a +2 bonus on saving throws against spells and effects from the school of enchantment.

Character Background:
Manard grew up in a small elven community in the far west; long years were filled with nothing save the exploration of self and nature for all the residents; most of whom are druids as was traditional.

Of course all good things must come to pass and Manard's simple life came to a fiery end in a massive invasion by a hobgoblin lead goblinoid army. Mighty though the elves of Greendale were, they were no match for the blood thirsty humanoids and what few managed to survived have spread to the four corners of the world; Manard came to Gladius.

Personality:
A determined individual, Manard prefers simple straight-forward plans of action after setting up a favorable situation.
When in the employ of another gladiator Manard does his best to win the battle while spending a small amount of money; never more than he is earning from wages and the battle award. PCs may pay for use of further expendables at a 1:1 ratio.

Mercenary Requirements:
Manard will only work with those that are good (Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good) and will not work with those of the Goblinoid subtype (Or who have allies of the Goblinoid subtype).
Will work at a 10% discount with Gladiators who have a level of Druid or who have the clerical domain of Nature.

Character Background:
Yojimbo was born under the sign of the servant. His parents accepted the fate and gave him into a monastery, to learn the discipline and find a way to make the best of the birthsign.
Yojimbo proved to be strong, agile and healthy and spent more time practicing with the warriors then studying the different languages and learning the etiquettes.
But the way of the servant were easy. Yojimbo did a minimum and passed. His final test was to find a master. This task, his mentors thought, would make him fail, however he solved it in the best time ever: A firend of him, a young Samurai named Donaka was willing to accept him as a bodyguard.

Yojimbo and Donaka traveled 1 year. At that time a high landlord let an expedition to hunt down an evil dragon. The two adventurers requested to join the party but before that, Yojimbo needed the permission to wield a sword. The Daimyo daubed - it was possibly but uncommen, that men, that were born under another sign were made Samurai. But since he really saw the bodyguard's determination, he rose Yojimbo to a Samurai. However, should Yojimbo ever be without a Daimyo, the shame should be even greater.

They attacked the dragon and the beast was stronger than expected. Only 1 minute of fighting, and the Samurai (a total of 9) were either dying or fleeing. Yojimbo flew, too, and left the Daimyo dying in the dragons lair.
Later, another party of adventurers recovered some of the Daimyo's bones and he got resurrected.
After being a Samurai for just a day, Yojimbo was dishonored and sent into exile, for failing that horrible and surviving.

Yojimbo went to the far away city of Gladius. Dishonored as he was - before his master, his family, the whole world and before himself, he offers his service to anyone, who is willing to pay.

He still hopes to regain some kind of honor. And if not, he at least wants to minimize his shame.
Yojimbo will try to balance bewtween attacking the opponent and protecting the gladiator, but he does not care for his own safety at all. In fact, he has suicidal tendencies, had he died in the fight against the dragon, it would have been a honorful death.


Mercenary Personallity:

Yojimbo is a good tactician, he will try to use charge attacks, flanking and Reckless Offense, when attacking with his primary weapon, the Ōdachi.
To protect melee-weak gladiators, he will try to use bull rush and stand still, maybe in combination with the Yari. He will also set this weapon against mounted opponents.
Should his force screen run out, he might switch to Tachi and shield, if (and only if) the gladiator needs a meat-shield.
He usually avoids grapples, unless it looks like the last option or the opponent forces it on him.

When ordering Yojimbo, choose if you want him armored or unarmored.

Alex comes from a long line of hunters. Long has his families tracked the great beasts of the land. From lions and tigers, to bears and elephants, Alex has made a name in his family. Always looking for the greater hunt, he tracks down the obsure creatures, ones that the commoners deem magical. He hunts with great proficiency, sword or spear, bow or net, and has even been taught in the ways of the forest, including calling upon nature to aid him. In the wild he moves and slips through the shadows with ease. The animals have little time to react. Alex can track for days on end, his dog aiding him. While some scholars and wise men think of man as the greatest prey, Alex disagrees. One unique aspect however, is that Alex only reluctantly kills his prey.

Character Personality:
Alex is ruthless in combat. He prefers to send his dog out, letting him deal the damage and try to trip and confuse the prey. He then slips in and out of the shadow, using what spells he can to help him, whether it is to lie to the animal, or to hold it in place.
He then throws a net on the unsuspecting prey, and uses his spear from range.
If he has to, he will use his scimitar in closer combat, and his bow from range if he cannot reach it in melee.
He is silent in combat, only speaking commands to his dog, like the loner he is.

Character Background:
Barsimmon is a young upstart ranger who is out to make a name for himself. He has abandoned his homeland to further this goal. Having been raised in a border village between the Elven and Dwarven nations, Barsimmon has grown to share the dwarven dislike of giants. He is an adept giant-slayer, having trained with the best the dwarven nation has to offer.


Character Personality:
Barsimmon is cocky and likes to taunt his enemies. He is a talker in combat, raining down insults as often as swordstrikes. He is equally adept with sword or bow, and has no preference as to which is used. If in battle with a giant, however, he will immediately try to engage it by whatever means necessary, regardless of any instructions given by his employer.

Sharellym is on a fact-finding mission on behalf of her godess, Lloth. Her objective is to determine whether the city of Gladius could be a threat to her own drow community, and/or whether the citizens could be easily captured for the slave market. While she's here, though, who's to say she can't have a little fun in the arena?

Character Personality:
Sharellym is cautious, prefering to avoid melee combat while her foe is conscious. She always considers her own safety first. Sharellym is also frugal and will try not to use many expendables. When fighting against elves, however, Sharellym forgets caution and fights to the death.

Attacks:
[Ma] Warhammer +3 melee, 1d8+1 [20/x3]
[+1 racial vs. orcs and goblinoids]

Feats: Endurance, Diehard
• +2 Constitution, –2 Charisma.
• Medium: As Medium creatures, dwarves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Dwarf base land speed is 20 feet. However, dwarves can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose speed is reduced in such situations).
• Darkvision: Dwarves can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and dwarves can function just fine with no light at all.
• Stonecunning: This ability grants a dwarf a +2 racial bonus on Search checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A dwarf who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a dwarf can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A dwarf can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up.
• Weapon Familiarity: Dwarves may treat dwarven waraxes and dwarven urgroshes as martial weapons, rather than exotic weapons.
• Stability: A dwarf gains a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not standing firmly on the ground).
• +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison.
• +2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
• +1 racial bonus on attack rolls against orcs and goblinoids.
• +4 dodge bonus to Armor Class against monsters of the giant type. Any time a creature loses its Dexterity bonus (if any) to Armor Class, such as when it’s caught flat-footed, it loses its dodge bonus, too.
• +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to stone or metal items.
• +2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal.
• Automatic Languages: Common and Dwarven. Bonus Languages: Giant, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Terran, and Undercommon.
• Favored Class: Fighter. A multiclass dwarf ’s fighter class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing

Activating this power is a standard action. The protective ward is an abjuration effect with a duration of 1 hour that is usable once per day.

Character Background:
Uncharacteristically gentle at heart, Hauber left the dwarven mines and its constant humanoid skirmishing for more peaceful environs when his best friend and battle-brother was slain before his eyes by an ogre. Tired and sickened by the killing, he left to wander the world in a search for peace. Delighted by the magical protection afforded by the Nimbus, Haubur stayed on as a gladiator-for-hire, specializing in magical defense and endurance. He enjoys the fighting, now, as he can assist a warrior and watch him die, only to see him returned to life by the magic.

Character Personality:
Hauber is a cheerful companion now, though he emits a certain sadness whenever a valiant gladiator takes a fatal wound, as though reliving a painful memory from his past.

Tactics:
-In a fight in which his gladiator will take large amounts of damage, Hauber starts a battle by casting Shield Other on his gladiator. He will then follow it up with a Sanctuary spell on himself. He then sits back and heals himself or his gladiator with his scrolls of cure light wounds. If his Sanctuary spell fails, he will use the Aid Another action to add +2 to his gladiator's AC every round.
-In a "save or die" type fight, Hauber will buff his gladiator with his Protective Ward ability, and then with Owl's Wisdom. This nets his gladiator a +6 bonus on Will saves. If necessary (and if there's time), he'll also cast Protection from <Alignment> on the gladiator for a longer lasting benefit. He will heal the gladiator as necessary with his wand and 0-level spells.

Character Background:
Kemman is an enigmatic character, and few know of his past. What little of it he does share seems to vary with each telling. His agenda is entirely a mystery, and it is impossible to tell his motivations for fighting in the arena. It is also impossible to determine how he chooses his employers and how he decides whether to accept employment. When a player asks Pitlords to hire Kemman, Pitlords rolls 1d6, and on a 1, Kemman refuses to be hired by that character that week. If he does accept, his asking price is (200+(1d20*10)) gp. Players may attempt to hire Kemman only once per week, and he may accept ot reject a character and/or change his fees from week to week. His reasons are known only to him.

Character Personality:
Kemman begins a fight by buffing with either expeditious retreat (30 r.) or mage armor (1800 r.), depending on the opponent's AC and speed. He may also buff with resistance if he has nothing better to do. If the opponent flies, he will try a tanglefoot bag, and if that fails, cast protection from arrows and attack with crossbow and/or ray of frost from scroll. If the opponent does not fly or is grounded, he uses alter self to become a Grick and melees furiously with tentacles and bite, attempting to trip if success seems likely. Kemman is an agressive fighter and will pursue an enemy if at all possible. However, he is aware of his fragility and will stay close to his employer so that hopefully Kemman will not take the first attacks.

Character Background:
Theron was orphaned as a child when his village was destroyed by a massive tribe of kobolds. Theron had long held an affinity for the woodlands, and had spent the night sleeping deep within the nearby woods. When he returned the next morning, the tribe had swept through the elven village with brutal efficiency. Weeping upon his family’s mangled corpses, he swore to hunt down and destroy the evil creatures that had ruined his life, and to protect good folk everywhere from their evil, and took up the surname Kobold-Slayer. He took up his hunting bow and his father’s swords, and returned to grow up in the woods he loved. Soon enough, a few stragglers from the war band wandered his way. He killed them one by one, and none of them were ever aware of his presence. Today, Theron has come to realize that the arena of Gladius, with its strange resurrection magic, could be a way to greatly improve his abilities. Not yet strong enough to be a gladiator, he has joined the ranks of mercenaries, hoping to learn enough so that someday he might become a gladiator himself.

Character Personality:
Theron is aware that he lacks the training and speed signature of great elf warriors to stand toe-to-toe with most combatants, who tend to be stronger and tougher than he. As such, he prefers to use his bow from afar, raining down death from behind cover. He tries to remain hidden from view until he attacks, and then returns to hiding as quickly as possible. Theron will rarely obey any order he disagrees with, and will even distance himself from other teammates if he feels they jeopardize his stealth. If he finds a particularly effective sniping spot, he will often use a bag of caltrops to slow enemies down so that he may get that one last shot before abandoning that position. On the other hand, he will go to the rescue of beleaguered spellcasters, wading into melee with his longsword. When forced into melee, he fights opportunistically, always trying to flank, strike from higher ground, and employ hit and run tactics. He keeps a flask of acid handy for multiple opponents standing near each other, and anti-toxin available for poison (something he had seen his village effective employ against drow raiders and their crossbow poison). If he ever sees a kobold or other reptilian humanoid, he will immediately disregard all orders and focusing on killing that target, moving steathily into range for his favored enemy bonuses to kick in, and shoot/melee/grapple until they are dead.

The cruelty of her masters was simply too much, though, and Ruffrrn escaped, fleeing to the nearby city of Gladius. Lost and alone, she has come to the arena to find friends and perhaps a new pack.

Character Personality:
Ruffrrn normally follows her scouting instincts and seeks out her foe as quickly as she can. Once the prey is found, she barks out to bring her pack and then engages her foe in melee combat, flanking whenever possible.

Character Background:
Lawrence Gaius dreams of being a legend among mercenaries, a paragon of battle. Although he is a long way from achieving his dreams, he will let nothing come between himself and the fame he believes he deserves. He will never accept employment from another martial character or a character with Great Renown because he does not want someone else to outshine his battle prowess, nor will he associate with Failures. Those close to him suspect he was beaten up a lot as a child, but he would never admit this.

Character Personality:
Lawrence will accept most orders unquestioningly, unless they are self-destructive, idiotic, or evil. Lawrence isn't terribly bright, so allowing him to improvise is not a good idea. His tactics tend to consist of wading right into battle and using two-weapon fighting. Considering himself invicible despite ample evidence to the contrary, he will attempt to hold opponents off to allow his ally to act freely. He has ranks in Ride and owns a lance but not a horse, so if an employer provides him with a mount he can fight that way. He will administer healing from his scroll to whoever needs it.

Character Background:
Ohko's coastal home, Crygentus, borders on a desert which has been slowly retreating. The increasing cold and humidity are threatening the local ecosystem, and the kelp beds and coral reefs teem with less and less life every year. Ohko fights in the arena to earn money to send back home, to be used for extra food and other vital supplies. Although Ohko feels on some level that she is abandoning her calling by fighting rather than tending to nature, she knows that the survival of her people is a need that must be met before anything else. She will, however, jump at any opportunity that looks like it might offer a more permament solution to her problem. Ohko grows increasingly desperate as time goes by without new hope, and she has become reckless in battle, sometimes not even caring whether she lives or dies.

Character Personality:
Ohko needs employment badly, so she will follow any and all commands to the best of her ability, hoping to satisfy her employer enough to be hired again in the future. In lieu of other commands, though, she tries to end a fight as quickly as possible. She begins mounted on her camel at the front center of the square, carrying her lance in two hands. If no enemy is in sight at the start of the fight, she will cast longstrider from memory, sharing it with her camel, and move if directed to. Next round, she will go in search of her enemy, striking with energy ray if they come into range after she moves, and readying energy ray to use if they come in range. If she begins her turn with a serious opponent in sight (not a familiar or other weak ally), she will Rage (6 r.), Outburst (4 r.), charge, and use Psionic Weapon (total: +10 to hit, damage=(1d8+10+2d6)x2). If the target survives, she will stay and fight with either lance or falchion (depending on opponent's tactics and position) until Outburst and Rage run out, then fall back and heal herself and her employer with scrolls, if necessary. If she seems close to victory, she will cast shillelagh on her club and fight with shillelagh and shield; if not, she will use charge-and-withdraw tactics, hoping to get lucky. She will regain psionic focus whenever there is no enemy in sight and no healing to be done. She will use her bow against flying opponents or ones with no ranged weapons and poor mobility, after her initial charge.

Character Background:
Her youngest memories being that of an orphanage, Alicia grew up not knowing much about herself. Her Wilder powers were discovered then when, while she was being picked on by some mean boys, she literally exploded with rage and sent one of them screaming into an unconscious state, crying about the pain in his head. Thankfully, the priests in charge of the orphanage were able to control her outburst, but ever since then she has always yearned to be free; if not physically free, then mentally free at the very least. Understanding how overuse of her powers would leave her a pariah, she was very quick to put her natural charm to use to ease the fears of the other children she liked while turning the tables back on those who picked on her before. She wasn't going to order the other children around, but one by one she made very clear to those she intimidated exactly what would happen if they continued to harass her.

Character Personality:
Alicia likes things being peaceful and quiet, so her first instinct in a fight is to attempt to Ego Whip her opponent into a drooling, catatonic state. The intensity of the assault combined with her emotional surges providing part of the mental fuel needed to empower her powers further has proven terrifyingly effective in stopping most people from bothering her. If it seems like she's not going to be able to whip enough of the charm out of her opponent however, she'll switch to rationed Surged Mind Thrusts, hoping that she doesn't drain herself trying to keep it under control. (Read: Mind Thrust with 1 PP Wild Surged for 2 levels with the Wild Surge bonus PP going into the augment)

Alicia disdains the use of physical weapons and armor, and automatically refuses any attempts to give her those for use.

Character Background:
With an ascerbic wit and a nasty temper, Orrid is an unpleasant companion. He is, however, quite talented at what he does, well worth the hassle for characters who need a little stealth backup. Orrid is lazy but extraordinarily talented and nimble. Rumor has it that he was kicked out of his village when he rubbed to many people the wrong way, and has lived hand-to-mouth ever since. He'll do anything for a buck, but will always err on the side of caution. He has no respect for people of below-average intelligence and refuses to work for them, but he also won't work with a smart aleck (i.e. someone much smarter than he is).

Character Personality:
Orrid will take orders with a grain of salt, trusting to his own judgment most of the time. He will, however, work towards a coordinated strike, using his employer to flank or grapple so he can perform sneak attacks. He will seldom be the first to attack, remaining hidden and silent until battle has been joined. If given instructions that would make him bear the brunt of any attacks, he will pretend to accept them but then do his own thing. If attacked alone in melee, he is even capable of withdrawing and leading an opponent directly to his employer.

Character Description:
Gunnor has a problem. Among the peace-loving forest gnomes, Gunnor has a thirst for violence. He doesn't really want to harm anybody, but he can't deny the thrill of adrenaline and the steely taste in his mouth when a foe cries out in pain. He just can't help himself. Gladius is the perfect place to sate his thirst for suffering, and he goes into each fight with a sad but surging heart.

Character Personality:
Gunnor will spend his two spells buffing either himself or his employer, but if he has no defenses, he'll be more cautious in battle, making sure he gets at least one good lick in before going down. His tactics are straightforward: blasts from his scroll, following with attack cantrips, and finally crossbow shots, if the scroll runs out or proves ineffective. He insists on doing at least some damage in each fight, and will refuse orders to withdraw if he hasn't dealt any damage yet and has the opportunity to do so. His toad is always kept securely in a pocket, but he shares buffs with it just in case.

Character Background:
Heralding from a small Maenad coastal village, Liel is an enigma even to many of her own kind. She loves to sing above all else, and also loves being the center of attention. She performs on the streets often, singing Maenad folksongs and one or two epics along with a few ballads and other songs in Aquan and Draconic, and advertises herself as a mercenary mainly due to her magical and psionic talents, love of attention, and want for money (she is frequently penniless, as she tends to spend quite a bit of money buying rounds of ale and bear for the patrons of the local bars). She considers herself quite worldly for a Maenad, and holds those unfamiliar with her people or the “high languages of the arts” (Maenad, Aquan, and Draconic, to hear her tell it) in some contempt. She has a soft spot for her own people, whom she considers somehow above most other races, however, and rarely treats them with anything but the utmost kindness (this is rumored to be because her songs were quite popular among the residents of he home village, making her one of the most popular people there). She hates associating with other Bards or famous people, as they tend to “hog the spotlight”.

Character Personality:
In combat, Liel always attempts to be the center of attention for the audience. Preferred tactics include using Flare and Daze on her opponent as soon as they are within range, circling her foe at 10’ throwing daggers while laughing loudly, and using her Bardic Music to fascinate her foe (usually followed immediately thereafter either by a dramatically thrown dagger at the fascinated foe or the use of her Energy Ray ability on her foe).

Her shortbow sees little use as she considers it too dull a weapon, but she will use it if instructed to by her employer or if facing a flying or levitating foe.

Liel always uses her Energy Ray ability in combat, either after fascinating a foe or as her employer battles him/her. She finds it gets her a lot of attention.

On occasions where she goes more than 4 rounds without spotting her foe, she will often cast Dancing Lights in the air above her, both to please the audience and to attract her foe’s attention (though she never does this more than once per battle).

In melee, she uses her Rapier and Outburst ability, feinting frequently for dramatic effect.

Character Background:
Evel, an initiate in the clergy of Oghma, fights in the arena solely to raise money for his temple. He is concerned with spreading knowledge to those without access to proper teaching, but is deathly afraid of most barbaric peoples, and therefore his zeal is wasted on those illiterate ones. Which is well enough, since he himself still has much to learn - though he can read well enough, he cannot yet even a pen a simple letter, much less a magic scroll. Still, he is wise beyond his eighteen years, and is capable of improvising well enough in mid-battle to earn a decent income for his temple as a mercenary, which ensures his continued training therein. His only requirement for those who employ him (aside from that he not be too afraid to approach them) is that they display some measure of knowledge in one field or another - he cares not which.

Character Personality:
In battle, Evel tends to support his employer as best as he is able. He casts whichever spells he is requested to (having informed his employer beforehand of what he has prepared and what they do), and follows behind his employer at a distance of 5'-15' wherever he/she goes unless told to do otherwise. He won't enter melee combat of his own initiative unless his employer is engaged with his target, in which case he moves around to flank them unless told to do otherwise by his employer. He rarely takes the initiative on his own, requiring orders from his employer to do anything except for when his employer falls unconscious of his wounds, in which case he immediately attempts to heal him, spontaneously casting Cure Light Wounds if he hasn't used up his spell or using his scroll if he has. He will not approach closer than 15' to a Barbarian opponent (even one with only 1 level of barbarian) or an Orc, Half-Orc, or Gnoll; being frightened of them and considering them unclean.

Character Background:
Cliffbearer was the shortest half-giant among his tribe, and he could never shake off the ridicule he suffered. He even tried to apprentice himself to monks to learn how to fight effectively despite his smaller size, but his patience eventually ran thin with the training and he was never able to shake off the reputation of being nothing more than a scrappy little runt. He set off on his own, and when he discovered Gladius, he learned that he was not as little as he thought he was, and enjoyed great success in the arena. He has since adopted the raging style of some of the other combatants he has observed, and has become a potent warrior, although he still has a bit of an inferiority complex.

Character Personality:
Cliffbearer (or "Cliff") works enthusiastically with employers, especially "little guys." He will follow orders obediently unless they conflict with his alignment. He prefers wrestling if given a choice, but will fight with bow or staff if directed to do so. Against enemies larger than himself (including other half-giants or enlarged enemies], he refuses to grapple and opts for archery or the shillelagh. He will share potions with his employer if directed to, but if not, he will begin a fight with mage armor, shield of faith, and either nothing else if he plans to wrestle, shillelagh if the quarterstaff is indicated, or magic weapon if he'll be using archery. He is enthusiastic but none too bright, so he prefers straightforward tactics if left to his own devices, and has trouble remembering complex contingencies.

Weight carried: 33 lb

Character Background:
Raised in a typical Duergar community in the Underdark, Belark loves combat, and he loves fighting dirty. Even some of his own kind cannot stand him, for he is obsessed with fighting, especially wrestling, and loves using poisons to weaken his foes so that they have no chance of overpowering him in close. He fights in a very methodical fassion, but this is because he has found it to be an effective fassion to fight in. He left his home community a few years back when he heard from some returning traders of the great arena in the surface city of Gladius, and he immediately signed up when he arrived. The only thing that keeps him from being a gladiator rather than a mercenary is his other great obsession: his greed. He likes having a solid base fee for his income, plus gaining a chunk of his employer's gains, rather than being totally reliant on victory to gain a satisfactory amount of money. He has few requirements for his employers, but he will not abide those who do not understand his preference for methodical combat.

Character Personality:
In fights, Belark fights dirty. No matter what his instructions from his employer are, he always begins by going invisible. His favored practice afterwards is to use his various means of increasing his grappling ability (Expansion, Grip of Iron, Vigor) and then to seek out his foe and grapple him into oblivion, using the posion he always coats his armor spikes with to weaken them and make the grapple even easier for him. Against particularly agile opponents he uses his tanglefoot bag before grappling to put them at a disadvantage. Against a speedy foe he uses his Skate power to catch them.

At his employer's request he will (albeit grudgingly) apply his poison to his scythe or an arrow instead, and he will eschew most of his conventional strategies if his employer is adamant (in this case he still always starts invisible and uses Grip of Iron during a dull moment in case an opportunity to grapple arises). If a good opportunity to grapple is given to him he will always take it unless his employer has ordered him to throw his tanglefoot bag or deliver his poison via his scythe or bow (and even so he will still switch to grappling once the bag is used or the poison has been delivered and a good opportunity arises).

Like most of his race he hates giants, but in his case this is manifested in a great competitiveness towards them. Whenever he sees a giant-type foe, he always uses his strategy of Invisibility => Expansion => Vigor => Grip of Iron => Grapple, regardless of his employer's orders, due to his eagerness to prove that he is a better wrestler than the larger giants. If he knows in advance that he is fighting a giant, he will also always apply his poison to his armor spikes, regardless of orders to the contrary.

Character Background:
Johan was borne in Gladius, the unfortunate son of a sailor and a barwench, who died giving birth to him. Growing up on the streets, he survived his youth by slitting purse strings of the wealthier passers by, and then dissapearing to the shadows. He eventually drew the attention of the local thieves guild, and Johan grudgingly joined their ranks. Despite his rough upbringing and less than impressive intellect, "the Long Knife" as he became known, is capable of sympathy and does not consider himself very well cut out for the nastier jobs that his bosses have him carry out. However, as his combat skills have improved, Johan has relished the advantage he finds over swordsmen of less skill and he has decided to try his luck as a merc in the ring.

Character Personality:
-When fighting with or against casters or ranged combatants, Johan will either skulk off to a side, and move into a position from which he will be able to strike from behind once the opponent is engaged, or, use his bow.
-When fighting with other melee character however, Johan is quite confident, and will usually throw insults at his opposition. He will stay fairly close to his ally and try to flank once engaged.
-He will drink his potion of CLW when he drops to or below 20hp.
-His potion of invisibility he uses as a fallback option. If he has already taken his CLW and gets dropped to or below 8hp he will gulp his potion of invis. and will only rejoin the fight if the odds are strongly in his favor.
-If at all possible, Johan will avoid fighting animals or undead and choose another target if there is one.

Character Background:
Simaro was a small and weakly child, and despite the egalitarian nature of elven upbringing, he frequently found himself bullied and oppressed by other children. His talent for magic slowly turned the tables on his rivals, and he eventually set out to support underdogs everywhere. He tries to make every fight as fair as possible, although he will of course have a bias toward his own employer.

Character Personality:
Simaro's main objective is to nullify his opponent's advantages. Jump, Spider Climb, and Fly are used on his employer to eliminate an opponent's advantage of mobility, Resist Energy to protect against applicable spells, Enlarge Person to even odds in melee, Reduce Person to create parity in ranged combat and stealth, Protection from Evil/Good to cancel out summons, Glitterdust and Invisibility against an opponent's invisibility, and Dispel Magic for anything else. He prefers not to use spells to increase advantages that his employer already has--for instance, if his employer is a halfling rogue going up against a barbarian, Simaro will prefer to use his wand of Magic Missile to even out the gladiators' hit points rather than using Reduce Person, Invisibility, and Spider Climb to increase the rogue's strengths further. A Diplomacy check (DC 20) is required to get him to follow different tactics. He will rarely use spells to buff himself (except for Mage Armor, which he usually uses), but if he has nothing better to do he will take up a safe vantage point with Spider Climb, Fly, or Jump, protect himself with Shield, and fire away with Magic Missiles or Flame Arrow-enhanced bow shots.

Character Background:
Turen is the essential in low cost - high efficiency back-up. Ruthless and cruel at times, Turen has already made a name for himself as a hired sword and is known for his dirty fighting (stabbing people in the back). Although he has never been known to go back on his word, his word is only as good as the money paid to him.

Turen hails from within Gladius, a street-brat from Valhamya in the north-east corner of the city. An urchin as a child, he eventually wormed his way in with some unsavory types who taught him what little tricks he knows.

Character Personality:
Turen does not like one-on-one confrontation. He'd much rather get in from behind and flank the opponents. If he's ever asked to lead the way - he's more likely to hide off in the shadows and wait for an opportunity to come in from behind, than blaze the trail for his employer.

Turen's own personality is grating and harsh - and as such - he's not well liked among civilized people. Those of good alignment would cringe to be in his company and a paladin would have nothing to do with a man of his rapport.

Turen, as an opportunist, is more likely to take on the weakest or most distracted foe first - if given the option. If he is forced into a one-on-one confrontation, but an escape is possible - he'll likely go for the escape to try to set up a better opportunity.

If an escape route is not evident, Turen will try to hinder his foe as best he can with his tanglefoot bags, or by tripping.

Character Background:
Bedina comes from the small Xeph city of Cassan in the Kiari desert. At the time, crime was rampant; Bedina had many friends and relatives who were victims of extortionists and other organized criminals. To strike against this menace, Bedina trained at the Gold Sun monastery, where she improved her skills at catching and subduing foes. When she returned to Cassan, she quickly helped the local authorities in almost completely eliminating crime. It was a great challenge, however, and she nearly lost her life on multiple occasions. To hone her skills to perfection, Bedina has come to Gladius, where she hires herself out as a bounty hunter and mercenary, but only for a cause she believes is just.

Character Personality:
After protecting herself with Mage Armor, Bedina uses her expendables and her Burst ability to quickly catch up to foes. She then uses Stunning Fist and tanglefoot bags to try to keep them there while her employer catches up. She knows she's not particularly strong or durable, so if Stunning Fist fails or expires, she will fight defensively using Tumble, and try to trip or disarm her foe while holding out for help. She uses attacks of opportunity to trip a foe that tries to escape.

Character Background:
Bedina comes from the small Xeph city of Cassan in the Kiari desert. At the time, crime was rampant; Bedina had many friends and relatives who were victims of extortionists and other organized criminals. Bedina began her career in catching and subduing foes out of sheer passion, channeling her rage and indignation into a destructive force against the criminal element. After several near-death experiences, she realized that fury would only take her so far, and she began a more dispassionate, strategic style of combat. To hone her skills to perfection, Bedina has come to Gladius, where she hires herself out as a bounty hunter and mercenary, but only for a cause she believes is just.

Character Personality:
Bedina uses her expendables and her Burst ability to quickly catch up to foes. She then uses Improved Trip to try to keep them there while her employer catches up. She knows she's not particularly strong or durable, so her opponent turns out to be too much for her, she will fight defensively using Combat Expertise, and try to trip and/or disarm her foe while holding out for help. She uses attacks of opportunity to trip a foe that tries to escape. When her employer arrives, she uses Improved Trip and disarm attempts to neutralize her foe, usually delaying until after her opponent's action so that she can set herself up to provide her employer with a flanking bonus.

Character Background:
Hansel has divulged little of his own past, but others say that he was a cruel and wicked child. He loved to torture small animals and pull the wings off little birds. He delighted in their cries and their suffering. As an adult, his cruelties spread to his own kind; once his secret was discovered, he became an outcast. He disappeared into the High Forest, supporting himself as a hunter...for a time. Years later, Hansel emerged from the wood, desperate to satiate his proclivity for pain. In his search for creatures which would be more prone to crying, screaming, and begging for mercy, he found the ideal location in Gladius. He soon became a good fighter, but his instincts for a slow kill kept him from winning in the Coliseum. Hansel now hires himself as a sellsword, earning a living through inflicting pain and fear.

Character Personality:
Hansel prefers to melee so that he can see the terror in his opponent's eyes. He likes to toy with enemies that are weaker than him, but he is a coward at heart: if given a choice, he will attack an animal or defenseless target first. Against a dangerous opponent, he will use Combat Expertise and trip with both weapons in melee, or use bolas, until the opponent is prone.
Hansel's preferred method of attack is to try to trip with a bola at close range (30' or less), then move to base the prone opponent while drawing his sickle. Once in melee, he will continue to trip with his sickle and disarm with his flail before attacking to kill.
Hansel's bow is primarily for hunting, but he will not hesitate to use it in the arena if circumstances warrant. He will never use his wand to heal an ally unless it is the only way to avoid losing the fight. Hansel would be more inclined to heal an ally who has already healed or significantly buffed him.

Although Hansel "loves" animals, gladiators with an Animal ally may not hire Hansel without permanently losing the ally (regardless of whether the ally accompanies them into the arena that week). It takes a very persuasive person to assure that he will not torture their animals while their back is turned.
Needless to say, Paladins who wish to retain class features may not hire Hansel.

Special Abilities
Spontaneous spell: Dispel Magic
Spontaneous Dispelling (Ex): At 5th level, an abjurer using this variant gains the ability to spontaneously cast the spell dispel magic. This ability is similar to the cleric's ability to spontaneously cast cure spells, with a few exceptions. The abjurer can "lose" four or more levels of prepared spells to cast dispel magic. The prepared spells can be of any level or combination of levels as long as the total spell levels add up to four or more (0-level spells don't count). For example, an abjurer using this variant could lose two 2nd-level spells or one 1st-level spell and one 3rd-level spell to cast dispel magic. At 11th level, an abjurer can "lose" seven or more levels of prepared spells to spontaneously cast greater dispel magic. An abjurer using this variant can use it in conjunction with a readied action to use dispel magic or greater dispel magic as a counterspell.

An abjurer using this variant does not gain additional spells per day for being a specialist wizard.

A light horse cannot fight while carrying a rider.

Carrying Capacity: A light load for a light horse is up to 150 pounds; a medium load, 151–300 pounds; and a heavy load, 301–450 pounds. A light horse can drag 2,250 pounds. This horse has been outfitted with a military saddle and horseshoes of speed (which fall to the ground at the end of the horse's summoning durration).

Currently carrying 197.4 lbs (Cali and her gear). This lowers his speed to 70, and gives an armor check penalty of -2 (included in stat block).

*A horse not trained for war does not normally use its hooves to attack. Its hoof attack is treated as a secondary attack and adds only half the horse’s Strength bonus to damage.
Summoning: A summoning spell instantly brings a creature or object to a place you designate. When the spell ends or is dispelled, a summoned creature is instantly sent back to where it came from, but a summoned object is not sent back unless the spell description specifically indicates this. A summoned creature also goes away if it is killed or if its hit points drop to 0 or lower. It is not really dead. It takes 24 hours for the creature to reform, during which time it can’t be summoned again.
You summon a light horse or a pony (your choice) to serve you as a mount. The steed serves willingly and well. The mount comes with a bit and bridle and a riding saddle.

Special Abilities
A mephit’s natural weapons are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

Breath Weapon (Su): 10-foot cone of ice shards, damage 1d4 cold, Reflex DC 12 half. Living creatures that fail their saves are tormented by frostbitten skin and frozen eyes unless they have immunity to cold or are otherwise protected. This effect imposes a –4 penalty to AC and a –2 penalty on attack rolls for 3 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based and includes a +1 racial bonus. A mephit can use its breath weapon once every 1d4 rounds as a standard action.

Spell-Like Abilities: All mephits have one or more spell-like abilities (save DC 10 + chr. mod. + spell level). The save DC is Charisma-based.

1/hour - magic missile [CL 3] [Range 130 ft., 2 x 1d4+1 force damage]

1/day - chill metal DC 14 [CL 6] [Range 40 ft., 3 creatures within 30 ft. or 150 lbs. of metal; see spell description]Spell-Like Abilities

Usually, a spell-like ability works just like the spell of that name. A few spell-like abilities are unique; these are explained in the text where they are described.

A spell-like ability has no verbal, somatic, or material component, nor does it require a focus or have an XP cost. The user activates it mentally. Armor never affects a spell-like ability’s use, even if the ability resembles an arcane spell with a somatic component. A spell-like ability has a casting time of 1 standard action unless noted otherwise in the ability or spell description. In all other ways, a spell-like ability functions just like a spell.

Spell-like abilities are subject to spell resistance and to being dispelled by dispel magic. They do not function in areas where magic is suppressed or negated. Spell-like abilities cannot be used to counterspell, nor can they be counterspelled.

Fast Healing (Ex): An ice mephit heals only if it is touching a piece of ice of at least Tiny size or if the ambient temperature is 32°F. or below.

Summon Mephit (Sp): Once per day, a mephit can attempt to summon another mephit of the same variety, much as though casting a summon monster spell, but with only a 25% chance of success. Roll d%: On a failure, no creature answers the summons that day. A mephit that has just been summoned cannot use its own summon ability for 1 hour. This ability is the equivalent of a 2nd-level spell.Summon (Sp): A creature with the summon ability can summon specific other creatures of its kind much as though casting a summon monster spell, but it usually has only a limited chance of success (as specified in the creature’s entry). Roll d%: On a failure, no creature answers the summons. Summoned creatures automatically return whence they came after 1 hour. A creature that has just been summoned cannot use its own summon ability for 1 hour. Most creatures with the ability to summon do not use it lightly, since it leaves them beholden to the summoned creature. In general, they use it only when necessary to save their own lives. An appropriate spell level is given for each summoning ability for purposes of Concentration checks and attempts to dispel the summoned creature. No experience points are awarded for summoned monsters.

Alertness (Ex): While a familiar is within arm’s reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.

Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.

Share Spells: At the master’s option, he may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) he casts on himself also affect his familiar. The familiar must be within 5 feet at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the familiar if it moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the familiar again even if it returns to the master before the duration expires. Additionally, the master may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his familiar (as a touch range spell) instead of on himself. A master and his familiar can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the familiar’s type (magical beast).

Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar out to a distance of up to 1 mile. The master cannot see through the familiar’s eyes, but they can communicate empathically. Because of the limited nature of the link, only general emotional content can be communicated.

Because of this empathic link, the master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.

Deliver Touch Spells (Su): If the master is 3rd level or higher, a familiar can deliver touch spells for him. If the master and the familiar are in contact at the time the master casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as the “toucher.” The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the master could. As usual, if the master casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates.

Speak with Master (Ex): If the master is 5th level or higher, a familiar and the master can communicate verbally as if they were using a common language. Other creatures do not understand the communication without magical help.

Description
Ice mephits come from the Elemental Plane of Air.

Ice mephits have a cold, aloof demeanor. Each one is about 4 feet tall and weighs about 30 pounds.

Ice mephits speak Common and Auran.

Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish).

Outsiders are proficient with all simple and martial weapons.

Character Background:
Born and raised in Gladius, Cali knows the city better than most. Her family still lives in the upper Merx district. Cali always found growing up around the nimbus to be disturbing. She heard many horror stories from aquaintinces about being killed and resurrected. When she was 17, Cali was killed by a local street gang and later ressurected. The incident traumatized her, and she spent the next couple years comming to terms with it.

Cali went to TAO university where she was a mediorcre student. She had been teaching for a couple years when Angosh took over the city, and the university was turned into a wizards prison. She survived the demon gulag, and helped many others through it. Cali returned to teaching abjurations. Last year when the unviersity was over run with devils, she was one of the few who did not flee or become taken by the devils. Seeing a lack of leadership, she stepped in to organize most of the remaining staff. She helped find and protect a temporary HQ, and organized classes for what students wished to continue. Now that the campus has been reclaimed, Cali remains the head teacher, and one of the most influential members of the Order.

Character Personality:
Cali hates violence and seeks to end it quickly, usually by making it impossible to perpetrate. Her prefered method is to make herself or her companions impenitrable with spells like stoneskin, windwall and magic circles. If forced into a confrontation she will try to outmanuver the opponent with speed enhancements while she disables them with subdual spells and webs. In either event, unused spell levels will go toward spontaneous dispel (to remove buffs or to counterspell). If the situation is very dire she will use a resiliant sphere, either to trap her foes while she flees, or to protect herself (and/or friends) while her familiar goes for help. Cali is willing to discuss strategy with her employer, and is even willing to share her scrolls.

Her dislike of violence extends to her friends as well. Cali will immediately turn on an employer who chooses to CDG a foe who is already disabled, or an employer who is otherwise needlessly violent.* Although she is not perticularly sneaky, she has been know to cast subdual shocking grasps while out of earshot and then shake someones hand. Cali will never prepare a damaging spell unless it is changed to subdual damage. If Cali ends up fighting against a member of her own guild, she will oppose both combatants, trying to stop either side from damaging each other.

Although ingeniously evil characters will uncover other methods of torture, the following list are good guidelines of what Cali considers 'needless' violence. When in doubt, PM an Elder

CDG against disabled characters.
Killing allies who are not attacking or helping the PC to attack the character (Allies acting as scouts are considered to be helping the fight).
Using dominate or control person to force a character to commit suicide. Powers like death urge also qualify. Using spells like suggestion to cause a character to do something suicidal (like setting off a trap) also qualifiy.
Attacking someone with a special ability that turns them into undead.
Setting people on fire (or similar) for multiple rounds.
Using a continuously damaging effect (such as heat metal or matter adjitation), hiding, and watching them suffer until dead (although using said effect, then continuing to press the fight would not count).
Casting deathknell (or similar) on your own allies.
Casting contagion (since it could potentionally start an epidemic plague).
Using the poisons ungol dust or burnt othur fumes (unhealable stat damage).

Lantern archons appear as floating balls of light that glow about as brightly as a torch. Only their destruction can extinguish the glow, though they can try to hide it.

Outsiders breathe, but do not need to eat or sleep (although they can do so if they wish).

A Lantern Archon under the effect of alter self looses it's light ray, racial save bonus against poison, low light vision and darkvision but retains all other abilities (including its crappy 1 strength).

Special Abilities
Aura of Menace (Su): Will DC 12 negates.

Light Ray (Ex): A lantern archon’s light rays have a range of 30 feet. This attack overcomes damage reduction of any type.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will aid [CL 3] [3 Minutes: +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and saves against fear effects, plus 1d8+3 temporary hit points]
detect evil [CL 3] [Concentration; 60 ft cone: see spell description]

Spell-Like Abilities

Usually, a spell-like ability works just like the spell of that name. A few spell-like abilities are unique; these are explained in the text where they are described.

A spell-like ability has no verbal, somatic, or material component, nor does it require a focus or have an XP cost. The user activates it mentally. Armor never affects a spell-like ability’s use, even if the ability resembles an arcane spell with a somatic component. A spell-like ability has a casting time of 1 standard action unless noted otherwise in the ability or spell description. In all other ways, a spell-like ability functions just like a spell.

Spell-like abilities are subject to spell resistance and to being dispelled by dispel magic. They do not function in areas where magic is suppressed or negated. Spell-like abilities cannot be used to counterspell, nor can they be counterspelled.
Aura of Menace (Su): A righteous aura surrounds archons that fight or get angry. Any hostile creature within a 20-foot radius of an archon must succeed on a Will save to resist its effects. The save DC varies with the type of archon, is Charisma-based, and includes a +2 racial bonus. Those who fail take a –2 penalty on attacks, AC, and saves for 24 hours or until they successfully hit the archon that generated the aura. A creature that has resisted or broken the effect cannot be affected again by the same archon’s aura for 24 hours.
Teleport (Su): Archons can use greater teleport at will, as the spell (caster level 14th), except that the creature can transport only itself and up to 50 pounds of objects.
Archons speak Celestial, Infernal, and Draconic, but can speak with almost any creature because of their tongues ability.

Tongues (Su): All archons can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell (caster level 14th). This ability is always active.
Alertness (Ex): While a familiar is within arm’s reach, the master gains the Alertness feat.

Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a familiar takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.

Share Spells: At the master’s option, he may have any spell (but not any spell-like ability) he casts on himself also affect his familiar. The familiar must be within 5 feet at the time of casting to receive the benefit. If the spell or effect has a duration other than instantaneous, it stops affecting the familiar if it moves farther than 5 feet away and will not affect the familiar again even if it returns to the master before the duration expires. Additionally, the master may cast a spell with a target of “You” on his familiar (as a touch range spell) instead of on himself. A master and his familiar can share spells even if the spells normally do not affect creatures of the familiar’s type (magical beast).

Empathic Link (Su): The master has an empathic link with his familiar out to a distance of up to 1 mile. The master cannot see through the familiar’s eyes, but they can communicate empathically. Because of the limited nature of the link, only general emotional content can be communicated.

Because of this empathic link, the master has the same connection to an item or place that his familiar does.

Deliver Touch Spells (Su): If the master is 3rd level or higher, a familiar can deliver touch spells for him. If the master and the familiar are in contact at the time the master casts a touch spell, he can designate his familiar as the “toucher.” The familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as the master could. As usual, if the master casts another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates.

Speak with Master (Ex): If the master is 5th level or higher, a familiar and the master can communicate verbally as if they were using a common language. Other creatures do not understand the communication without magical help.

Character Background:
Hanna comes from the high forest, near the great ruins of Vesta Cu's sanctuary. Early in her childhood, during a long hunting trip with some members of the tribe, she came across a solitary elven druid, near the village of Nar-Koth, and a friendship began. Growing up she returned many times to visit him, but one horrible day all she found was Honeymoon, the druid bear companion, badly wounded, standing by a pool of blood near the druid's shelter. Her friend corpse was lying in the cold ground, soaked with his own blood, the scars of a whip all over his body. The only trace about the author of that orrible crime was a little parchment, grasped by the druid in his last moments.
"Come to the Coliseum, Fight for Money and Glory!"
"I will find him", Tha't all she tought about as she stepped foward, as in trance, to Gladius.

Character Personality:
Fast and deadly, this is a good description of Hanna in combat, reliying of her natural strenght, she prefers to engage in melee fight, starting with a deadly overrun, throwing spears only when the opponent is out of reach. Angainst spellcaster she can even engage in a grapple, but this is rare. She use her druidic powers as a backup, mainly to heal herself and her allies, but she don't mind using some of her expendable items if the fight seems hard. She don't bring her animal companion (a Wolf) to the fight since he's still too inexperienced and she wouldn't risk his life.
If possible she will not attack animals, especially other animal compainions, trying to ignore them or usig calm animal / charm animal.
If she likes her master enough (see requirements) she can even let him ride her in combat.
If she ever sees someone carriing or using a whip, she will dedicate all of her effort to eliminate him, regardless of anything else.

Character Background:
A young acolyte of the Church of Denth, Angela has come into the center of Gladius seeking to further the teachings of Denth. Although young and inexperienced, her mastery of summoning spells is apparent already. She is still learning and while proficient in the use of her armor, still feels uncomfortable in it - as it is heavy and bulky.

Character Personality:
Angela will not fight against a fellow Denthian. If they are somehow paired up against each other, her focus will not turn towards the other Denthian. If the other Denthian is of higher level, she will in fact take orders from the Denthian instead of the person who hired her. She gives preference to using her summoning magic rather than her protection or doom spells, but will defer to the experience of those around her if pressed. Angela can only summon neutral and evil creatures, and gives preference to evil ones since they make her spell more powerful.

Character Background:
A devout, yet inexperienced, follower of Denth, Don Relik is ready to make a name for himself as a hired hand. Haughty and arrogant, he still bears a natural charm and with that a certain amount of self-assurance. His confidence in his own casting abilities can certainly be his downfall though.

Character Personality:
Don Relik is not well controlled. Although he takes some tactical advice from his employer, he is more likely to try to further Denth's purpose, especially if by doing so, he is keeping within the "word" rather than the intention of his employer. That said, he is steady in combat and produces his summoned creatures with speed and reliability.

He cannot summon good-aligned creatures and favors evil creatures over neutral ones since they are more potent by his hand. He does not desire melee combat however, and will only resort to it if pressed.

Character Background:
One of the more experienced priests within Gladius, Alden is not an uncommon presence at most public functions. A well-trained speaker with the backing of his church behind him, Alden is frequently the forefront of public relations. His skill in summoning is not uncommon among Denthians, but he embraces many of the summons that are otherwise ignored in the darker sides of the church.

Character Personality:
Alden is well-liked among spectators because of his versatility in his summons - utilizing the full spectrum of his spells. He listens well to direction from his employer and does his best to engage opponents according to his employer's terms rather than forcing his own agenda.

Alden donates the spoils of his mercenary duties directly to the church and has funded many operations to expand the church in Denth's name. Alden is not opposed to working with anyone who will give him time to speak according to his passions.

Character Background:
Bravo grew up as a normal barbaric half-orc wandering the plains of the Paynim. As he matured, he realized he had a gift for the gab. He was constantly ridiculed for this and sought ways to compensate. Bravo was always a jealous individual and sought to silence the critics. He hates being made fun of, and can/will probably kill anyone who dares to say he's a horrible bard. Bravo has worked too hard and too long, suffered WAY too much ridicule for anyone to say otherwise. His fuse is short, but his memory is long. He remembers being lied to very often as a child growing up and used by his peers only to be dumped later when they had no use for him. Sometimes, some of the other for battle savy combatants would pretend to be his friend, only to turn on him, and then laugh about it later. This irks Bravo intensly and it is the core of his psychological foundations. Bravo always felt different from everyone else, and though it's not his real name, whenever people here him perform they always say, "Bravo. Bravo." So he gave himself that nickname. If they were being coy and insincere, he would kill them. Easy as that. One thing that is striking is his obvious draconic heritage. He left the plains of the Paynim to come to Gladius to earn some money so he can continue his journey to the Crystalmist Mountains where it is rumoured one of his original desendants live. [ie. next level he would take Dragon Disciple if he were ever to level](see World of Gladius (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=580765))

Character Personality:
Bravo loves to inspire...himself. Despite his great strength, he hates grappling, and will NEVER grapple an opponent. It's simply too brutish for him.
Bravo knows how to use his superior speed to overwelm opponents. If it's one thing he's used to, its running.
Typical Attitude:
Rd 1 - expeditious retreat
Rd 2 - inspire while he chases down opponent to trip and lay the smackdown.
{he doesn't worry if other allies are in range when he starts. He figures that's their job, not his.}

If Bravo know he has a lot of time:
Rd 1 - expeditious retreat
Rd 2 - recall lost SL with PoP
Rd 3 - Bull's strength, or Heroism

If Bravo knows he's facing a spellcaster (even if it's a Cohort), he will make the caster his first priority:
Rd 1 - invis (unless the gladiator that hired him informs him their opponents can see through it)
Rd 2 - fly
Rd 3 - heroism
Rd 4 - silence (scroll)

Character Background:
Private 618 served in the Hobgoblin Armed Forces from a young age. He showed good aptitude, and his early carreer was successful, but his unit was not and was eventually disbanded and all its members put on reserve. He now works in the arena to stay in practice, until such time as his race has need of him again.

Character Personality:
Private 618 is a switch-hitter, equally versed in several styles of combat. Against weaker opponents he will grapple and attempt to pin so that an ally can finish them off, and against stronger opponents he will attempt to engage at range. In both cases, he uses his natural instinct for stealth to gain an edge. His tactical insight is solid, if unimaginative, and he follows orders to the letter.

Weight carried: 0 lbs

Character Background:
One of the few worshippers of Talos the Stormlord in Gladius, Destra’s love of destruction is unsurpassed by any but that of her deity himself. Though not as random and uncontrolled as he, she nonetheless revels in her work – taking great pleasure in burning down forests, leveling buildings, sacrificing sentient beings to her lord on his holy days, and other acts of calculated slaughter and devastation. To her such acts are perfectly natural, and indeed are the ultimate goal of all nature (for what is ultimately to come of the world if not simply to end?), and thus she has taken the path of the Druid to harmonize her soul with this ultimate goal of nature. She came to the city of Gladius to develop her powers in the arena that she might better serve her lord, and intends to leave the city in ashes in tribute to the Stormlord when she has grown great enough. She has particular contempt for those who would protect the weak, such as Paladins or goodly Ranger, Druids, and Clerics, and sees most other Druids and Rangers as either heretics or misguided fools. She has some respect for Barbarians, whose battle lust and rages she understands, and empathizes with destructive Druids, Rangers, Wizards, Sorcerers, and Psions. Ultimately though, she only truly respects power, and power used to destroy in particular.

After failing as an arena combatant in her own right and having the territory she had taken for herself outside the city fall into the hands of The Living Tree, she was left with the options of leaving outright or staying as a mercenary. Given her unwillingness to abandon her vow to leave the city in ashes when she left, she chose the latter. She is very particular as to her partners, rarely working with Druids or Rangers whose beliefs clash with her own and never with any members of The Living Tree, although she will work with other goodly beings, albeit grudgingly, as she knows she would lose too much work by refusing all of them outright.

Character Personality:
In battle, Destra is ruthlessly offensive. She casts no more than 4 non-damaging spells per fight (including those on her scrolls), and her strategies number only two. Against spellcasters or manifesters she strengthens herself with her Bull's Strength scroll and uses protection from energy to ward off her foe's favored energy type, then wild shapes into a Dire Wolf, casts Poison and holds it with her bite weapon, and moves to melee and rages, delivering the poison with her first successful attack. Against warriors, she prefers to use Entangle when possible, her Wind Wall scroll to protect herself from arrows, and then lob damaging spells at her foe; though against poor archers she instead wild shapes into a fast flying form and blasts her foe from the sky. She uses Air Walk against flying foes she wants to melee, or on her animal companion against flying foes she doesn't want to melee. Beyond these general tactics though, she will typically take orders from her partner, with the one provision that she will never drop one of her offensive spells to summon allies.

Character Background:
Szaal'zass is a shaman of the lizardfolk that has settled to Luna March, also known as the Swampers. She is a respected, but also feared member of her society. Lizardfolk shamans usually live in lonely huts near the actual village. Szaal'zass was plotting the next move of the Swampers, when she was attacked by the members of TLT. Now she is seeking revenge for TLT and also trying to find corpses of powerful creatures to animate.


Character Personality:
Szaal'zass will mainly focus in buffing the character she is helping and also preparing herself for combat. She will cast sanctuary or use a potion of invisibility to get the time needed for buffing. Then she will use expendables as needed and buff the character she is helping with spells like Bull's Strength. After she is finished with buffing, she will prepare a touch spell and join the combat. If needed, Szaal will use Soften Earth and Stone to hamper the opponent's movement. After the opponent is wounded, Szaal will attack with Death Touch.

Character Background:
Born into the poor section of Gladius, Hunter made a name for himself at a young age as a runner for the Gladiatorial arenas by spreading the word of the next matches and even distributing the results of finished matches. As he grew older, he worked as a sparring partner with some of the less-skilled combatants and as such has picked up a few useful skills - though mostly skills that are common for "dirty" fighting. For what its worth, Hunter is polite and well-spoken. He is eager to show his employer his skills and will do what he can to help ensure victory.

Character Personality:
Hunter is a well-spoken individual and listens to direction well from his employer. He is most commonly used as a flanker in order to make the best use of his abilities, but he is confident enough to stand toe-to-toe with most combatants - especially if he is able to use his buffing scrolls. He makes use of the items he has available, but only on the condition that his employer pays to replace the scrolls he uses.

Character Background:
Unlike for PCs, the background story and personality for Mercenaries are mandatory because their behaviour depends on it. You can come up with anything you like as long as it sounds reasonable. If you have a long background story, make a short summary here, and put the long version in sblocks below. The Personality refers to the Mercs behaviour in a fight and goes into the next section below. Also tell us where he comes from (see World of Gladius (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=580765))

Character Background:
Once a thief from the region of East Habari, the-one-formerly-known-as Keltas fell victim to the power of a troupe of ghouls. He returned to life as an undead and sought out much of the comforts of his former life.

Unfortunately, as a ghoul - comforts were not easy to be had.

Blaergh (as he now calls himself) has resigned himself to a life of aide to clerics and necromancers mostly, seeking to earn enough as a mercenary in order ot at least live in a meager home, away from persecution of his un-deathly ways.

Character Personality:
Blaergh is a fierce in-fighter and seeks to be in the chaos of melee combat. He'll open up a foray with shots from his crossbow - mostly to see if the poison he brings with him is enough to bring down the opponent(s). From there - he will try to close to melee.

If he is able - he will spend every effort to paralyze or bring down his opponent with poison or raw damage. If his employer is engaged in melee as well - he will seek to flank.

If his employer is a cleric able to bolster undead - he will ask for such a blessing at the combat's first start.

If the opponent is faster by means of a horse or other mount, Blaergh will try to use the poison in order to bring down the speed of the opponent by taking the mount out of the picture.

Character Background:
A native Gladiosan, Zane has made his living mostly through the tales he weaves of the local gladiators. That said - lately he's been looking for some more hands-on experience and hopes he can provide aid to an employer in whatever way he can.

Zane is the proud father of two young children who enjoy his daily stories. Although his former wife left them some months ago, he is determined to keep the standard of his life as high as he can make it - especially for his kids.

Character Personality:
Zane is very accommodating and while he would prefer to stay at a range and lend his support via song and arrow, will engage in whatever way his employer deems necessary. If forced to melee, he will try to distract his opponent with a flare spell (in order to help himself survive...).

Zane certainly prefers to stay at range and will sing about the deeds of his employer throughout the fight. He will use his scrolls of Resistance on himself and his employer if needed, and the scroll of mending is specifically kept for his own bow should it be sundered.

Zane will use Bard-spell scrolls that are given to him if desired as well (he will use Read Magic as a prebuff to decipher scrolls given to him).

Character Background:
Dizzy was raised by a family of peasants east of Gladius. Once she discovered her powerful psionic abilities, she gladly ran away from home and has never looked back since. Now all she looks for is power, money and adventure.

Character Personality:
Dizzy delights in using her psionic powers, usually to the exclusion of all else. Her usual tactic is to use Energy Missile to blast away at any enemies, and then use Body Fuel to recover power points to keep blasting away. Versus a particularly weak personality, she uses Ego Whip instead. As she uses Body Fuel, she appears to become older and older until she finally looks like a withered old crone on the verge of death.

She carries around a suit of scale armor sized for a frost giant. She usually drops it before fighting; occasionally she uses her psionic powers to animate it, using it for cover or as a primitive servant.

Character Background:
Borak Skullcrasher is a member of the Broken Axe orc tribe living in the High Forest, north of Gladius.
He gained quite some respect amongst his tribe after surviving the Rogalith massacre and his recent defeat of a patrol of 2 elven rangers.
Borak loves to fight, and he came to Gladius because he knows here he can find a big weapon. He really likes the idea of kicking some elven ass and then come back to the forest with a nice set of weaponry and armory, ready to get vengeance for the Rogalith massacre.
He's willing to work with other orcs (or half-orcs) at a reduced price (80 gp)

Character Personality:
Borak has a simple way of fighting. Run, throw javelin, and smash.
You can explain him what to do, but he'll likely have an hard time figuring it, unless it's something simple and shorter than 10 words.
Complex tactics aren't for Borak.
Waiting is something else Borak can't do. Expect him to wait a few seconds, but then he would just run towards the enemy, falchion in his hands.
