Einherji

Associated Blessings: Chaos, Repose.

Replacement Blessing: The following minor blessing replaces the anarchic strike ability of the Chaos blessing or the gentle rest ability of the Repose blessing.

Challenge of Single Combat (Ex): At 1st level, you can choose a single target within sight to challenge by attempting an Intimidate check to demoralize that creature as a standard action. If the check succeeds, in the next round, the target is shaken and you gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against that target, but you take a –2 penalty to your AC, except against attacks made by the target.

New Subdomain: Valkyrie

If every outsider race has a subdomain, then this one deserves its own too.

Valkyrie

Associated Domains: Chaos, Repose.

Replacement Power: The following granted power replaces the chaos blade power of the Chaos domain or the ward against death power of the Repose subdomain. Valkyries are a race of chaotic neutral outsiders.

Mount of Valhalla (Su): At 8th level, you gain a bonded mount, as a paladin of your cleric level -2. You must select a giant swan or a pegasus as your animal companion. A pegasus companion follows the rules for a Pegasus Knight in Legendary Cavaliers. When your mount would gain the celestial template, it gains the advanced template instead.

Replacement Domain Spells: 5th— divine power, 8th— greater summon flying mount, 9th— soul bind (on willing creatures only).

New Subdomain: Thunder

Who wants a cleric of Thunder and Lightning? I do!

Thunder

Associated Domain: Weather

Replacement Power: The following granted power replaces the lightning lord power of the Weather subdomain.

Peal of Thunder (Su): At 8th level, you can call a booming peal of thunder that deals 4d6 points of sonic damage and deafens all creatures in a 20-ft. radius. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to ½ your cleric level. 

Replacement Domain Spells: 5th- resounding blow, 6th- litany of thunder, 8th- resonating word.

New Weapon Quality: Exploding

If an alchemist can infuse a poison or a potion into her weapon, then he should be able to infuse a bomb, too.

Exploding

Aura faint transmutation CL 3rd

Price +1 bonus; Weight —

This is an enchantment favored by goblin alchemists. An exploding weapon is similar to an injecting weapon, except that its reservoir can hold up the reagents normally used to make one alchemical bomb. The alchemist creating the bomb can apply one of the following discoveries to it: acid bomb, anarchic bombs, axiomatic bombs, boneshard bomb, concussive bomb, force bomb, frost bomb, healing bomb, hellfire bomb, holy bombs, profane bomb, scrap bomb, shock bomb, or void bomb. The selected discovery only alters the bomb’s damage type, without other effects. When the wielder (who can be a different person from the alchemist who charged the bomb into the weapon) activates the reagents as a swift action, the weapon deals +1d6 fire damage with a successful hit (or damage of another type depending on an applied discovery) for a number of rounds equal to the number of d6 of damage the charged bomb would have normally dealt. On a critical hit, the wielder can choose to have the weapon discharge all the remaining bomb damage at a time against the hit creature. Unlike injecting weapons, weapons of any type may be granted the exploding quality. Filling or refilling the weapon’s reservoir is a full-round action.

Requirements Craft Magic Arms and Armor, creator must be an alchemist with the fire brand discovery; Price —

October has come and an important milestone is near for many of us. We will soon have an occasion to show what we really want- peace or war? Love or hate? Being together or being divided, against one another? Choose wisely, and don’t avoid to choose. This is the moment to fight as we can for what we love.
