Chosen of Moradin

Also known as The Sonnlinor

Its a template that can be added to any Dwarf. A Chosen of Moradin uses the character's statistics and special abilities except as noted below.

BONUS SPELLS (Sp): Constant~~ Ironguts, Know Alignment, Magic Weapon. At will~~ Belagarn's Iron Horn, Stone Shape, Glyph of Warding. 5/day:~~ Spike Stones, Fabricate. 3/day~~ Fantastic Machine, Greater Ironguard. 1/day~~ Undermaster, Elemental Swarm (cast as an earth spell only).

Strength of Stone (Ex): This ability grants supernatural strength to the chosen by raising his/her strength score by 1d6 points. The chosen must be in contact with solid stone or earth when using this ability. This lasts 3 rounds + 1 round per character level and may be used as many times a day as your Strength bonus modifier.

Moradin's Stonefire (Ex): This ability allows the chosen to ignite stone into roaring flames. The stone blackens, stretches and opens to reveal holes, burns away from the edgees of these holes in ever-widening cavities until large amounts of stone have actually been burnt away, and then smolders into quiescence again, creaking as it cools. The Stonefire gives off an acrid, billowing white smoke, and earthy, metallic stink, and flames that deal 2d6 points of fire damage and heat damage per round to creatures within 10 feet. Actual contact with stonefire deals 4d6 damage and forces a Fort save DC 25 to avoid collapsing, unconscious from the pain. It lasts 1 round per character level and has an area of effect of 5 cubic feet a level. Creatures susceptible to fire damage suffer double damage, and creatures made of stone suffer 4d4 damage. It may be used twice a day.

Soul Forge (Sp): This ability grants immunity to all fear effects and gives a +2 divine bonus to AC and saves when attacked by evil creatures. It lasts 1 hour per character level and may be used once a day.

Immunity (Sp): The Chosen does not age and is immune to mundane fires, and has Fire resistance 10 due to his time spent at the forge. He is also immune to Iron weapons.

Moradin's Stone Storm (Sp): When this ability is used the whole area is enmeshed in a vortex of swirling, battering rock and stone. Creatures in the area of hurling stone suffer 2d8 points of damage +1 point per character level. Creatures that make a successful Ref. save DC30 take only half damage. The area of effect is selected by the chosen at the instant of casting from two options. First is a circle of 60 foot radius with a 20 foot radius "eye" in the center that is not affected. The second is a cloud whose total dimensions do not exceed 120 feet. (for example, a cloud might be 40 feet wide, 20 feet tall, and 60 feet long). It lasts 1 round per Wisdom bonus and has a range of 30 feet a level. It may be used twice a day.

Saves: The character adds + 2 as a bonus to all saving throws.

Abilities: Increase from the character as follows: Str +4, Con +8

Skills: Knowledge (any), Craft, Profession and Concentration are class skills, regardless of the character's class.

Feats: (You gain these feats automaticly without meeting their prerequisites) Survivor, Blooded and Magic in the blood.

Climate/Terrain: Same as the character.
Organization: Same as the character, But must be a devoted follower of Moradin.
Challenge Rating: Same as the character +4.
Alignment: LG, LN
Treasure: Same as the character.
Advancement: Same as the character

Any ideas and suggestions are welcomed! Thank you all!! ;)

-I'd remove the "Stone Fire" Ability, and replace it with the ability that Undinnir (Sp?) have, that allows them to freely shape stone. After all, it is said that the Undinnir (Sp?) were "blessed" and "chosen" by Moradin.

I'm intrigued. I have never heard about the Undinnir(sp) or their abilities. Are they in Demi-human Deities? Stone Fire is a 4'th level spell used specifically by Specialty clerics of Moradin, so I figured it would make an appropriate ability. I would like to know more about these Undinnir you mentioned.

-They are in Races of Faerûn, and, if I'm not mistaken, Dwarves Deep.

Unfortunately I don't have either of those books.

Fabulous work. I'll have to send this template to one of my friends in London.

The Stonefire ability seems just fine to me. Isn't that a spell in Demi-human deities?

-They can Stone Shape and Shape Metal as an 8th level Sorcerer, and can Walk through Stone at will.

Yes, it's a Moradin specific spell from the 2ED Demi-Human Deities accessory. Thanks.

Forgot to clarify... the Urd were blessed by Dumathoin not Moradin.

-Yes, yes it is. Don't want to get stuck in there, though.

What is the percentage for getting stuck in the stone? Any?

-I have no idea. If the spell runs out, and you are inside the stone still, you can either have it reject the individual, hurting them a great deal, or have they stay stuck inside the stone. It's your call.

Treat as a Teleport spell in regards to side effects, no?

-Oh, like Teleporting into a solid object? Sure.
