Birn

Character: The Fire Warrior, Son of Amaran (Offensive Warrior), Opposed to Hashar: .
Skills: Avoid, Hammer Attack, Conjure, Enchant, Sense
Powers: Ashen Armor, Command Fire Demon, Fireskin, Firehammer, Improve Avoid, Temper, Rebounding Hammer
Restricted Powers: (both above initiate) Demon to Phoenix, Enhance Fire Demon
Description of Powers:

Ashen Armor (Bless Woad) Command Fire Demon (Salamander) Fireskin (half fire damage) (1): ranged, temporal, nonstackable, reusable. The target (usually the caster) becomes completely immune to the damaging effects of fire, suffering no damage from any fire, magical or otherwise. But, the target's equipment is not immune to the effects of fire and may just melt off or burn up. Firehammer (Firespear) (1): touch, temporal, nonstackable, reusable. This is cast upon a spear, causing its point to burst into flame. The normal damage done by the weapon is replaced by 3d6 (plus STR bonus). The spell is incompatible with Fireblade, Bladesharp, Truespear, etc. Each additional point of Firespear increases the damage done by 1d6. Improved Avoid (1): personal, continuous, stackable. Each point provides a one point bonus to the skill. Experience is still calculated without the bonus of this spell. Example, two points of Improve will make the skill effectively two higher (ie. 16 to 18 skill), but experience rolls are still made based on the base skill (16 in this example). Temper (heat weapon, must sheath or drop) Rebounding Hammer (return weapon) Enhance Fire Demon (more damage and size) Demon to Phoenix (1): ranged, temporal, nonstackable, reusable. Only works on Fire Demons.

Experience is still calculated without the bonus of this spell. Example, two points of Improve will make the skill effectively four higher (ie. 16 to 20 skill), but experience rolls are still made based on the base skill (16 in this example).

Metal Guardian (animate armor with spirit) Improve Enchant (1): personal, continuous, stackable. Each point provides a two point bonus to the skill. Experience is still calculated without the bonus of this spell.

Embody Isogo (1 +2 Devise) Prayer of Hammer Attack (1): personal, temporal, stackable, reusable. Up to five targets, caster plus four more. Caster and up to four willing targets all gain the effect the mystic spell, but as a god spell, meaning this spell stacks with the mystic version. No mana is needed to power this spell. Each point is equal to one point of the mystic spell. Example, Prayer of Avoid 3 cast would put Avoid 3 on caster plus up to four targets within range. Caster would have equivalent of Avoid 5 if the caster also cast Avoid 2, other targets would still have Avoid 3 effect unless they also had the Avoid spell on themself. Since the spell is stackable, Prayers from multiple casters on overlapping targets all stack. Mumble (2): ranged, temporal, nonstackable, reusable.

Caster would have equivalent of Avoid 5 if the caster also cast Avoid 2, other targets would still have Avoid 3 effect unless they also had the Avoid spell on themself. Since the spell is stackable, Prayers from multiple casters on overlapping targets all stack. Prayer of Fire Missile (1): personal, temporal, stackable, reusable. Up to five targets, caster plus four more. Caster and up to four willing targets all gain the effect the mystic spell, but as a god spell, meaning this spell stacks with the mystic version. No mana is needed to power this spell. Each point is equal to one point of the mystic spell. Example, Prayer of Avoid 3 cast would put Avoid 3 on caster plus up to four targets within range. Caster would have equivalent of Avoid 5 if the caster also cast Avoid 2, other targets would still have Avoid 3 effect unless they also had the Avoid spell on themself.

Hurling (1): ranged, temporal, stackable, reusable. For the duration of the spell, all objects thrown by the spell's target have a range multiplied by five. For each extra point of Hurling used the range is increased by another five times (ie. 2 point is 10 times, 3 point is 15 times, etc.) The spell does not increase range of bows, crossbows, but does have a partial effect on blowguns and slings, multiplying the range by 2 for each point of Hurling.

Call Monster (1): ritual Summon spell, reusable. Can be cast by a group of worshipers. Each participant casts the spell in the same melee round, calling for the same type of creature. Each person who successfully casts the spell may then expend MPs for the Calling. The spell succeeds if the Priest leading the ceremony succeeds in a Summon roll (which takes only the one round, not an hour) and if the MPs expended are greater than the sum of the creature's characteristics. If more than one of the creature is desired, MPs equal to the sum of all their characteristics must be expended.
