Gobbers

Gobbers are a more civilized and sociable subrace of goblins. They are often found in cities, living more or less in “friendliness” with other humanoids. Gobbers have the following racial traits.

Crafty and Sneaky (6 RP): Gobbers gain a +2 racial bonus on Craft (alchemy), Escape Artist, and Stealth skill checks. This replaces skilled.

Low-Light Vision (1 RP): This replaces fast movement.

Minor Poison Resistance (1 RP): Gobbers gain a +2 racial bonus to saving throws against poison. This and skill training replace darkvision 60 ft.

Skill Training (1 RP): Craft (alchemy) and Stealth are always class skills for gobbers.

Lady Juliet Burnbright, Level 20

 By the end of The Broken Brides of Europe, Juliet has become a rightful superheroine and part of the most historically and literarily deranged superhero team of all books. She has freed herself and her new team-mates from both mundane and spiritual chains, made more than a dirty pun, and found a new love that really suits her and this time could be forever... and defeated unspeakable Lovecraftian and Ashtonian horrors in  the meantime. The story ends with a triumph of love in any form and a truthful hero apotheosis, and I would hope this is not the end, except what other enemies would last a second against THIS gorgeous swashbuckling flair?
Surely, though, this is NOT the end of my conversions from those books *wink wink* Just wait and see...

 Legendary Companions is the latest book I worked on! A lot of stuff for familiars and other companions was already published here, so I added and reworked and corrected and here it is. I hope you will like this!

New Magus Arcana: Twin Flames and Two-Weapon Enhancement

Juliet was an easy build: maybe because her author is also a talented game designer, but everything about her in the book said “Magus with a touch of Swashbuckler”. There IS, though, one thing she does in the book that a magus cannot do in the game- and I was surprised when I discovered that, because it seems such an obvious ability. But every character conversion should have something new and unique; so, here.

New Magus Arcana

Twin Flames (Su): Whenever the magus enchants his weapon using his arcane pool, he may spend 1 additional point from his arcane pool to lend the same enchantment to an ally’s weapon. The magus must be at least 9th level before selecting this magus arcana.

Two-Weapon Enhancement (Su): Whenever the magus enchants his weapon using his arcane pool, he may spend 1 additional point from his arcane pool to lend the same enchantment to another weapon that he is wielding in his off-hand. The magus must be at least 9th level before selecting this magus arcana. 

Lady Juliet Burnbright, Level 12

In The Broken Brides of Europe, three Shakespearian heroines that were brought to a bitter end by love are revived, gifted with new powers and sent to fight for the very soul of humanity against a bunch of monsters from classic horror literature, courtesy of their author Aaron Hollingsworth! The ladies are truly the driving force of this book, often saving their astonished male counterparts about which we will talk in future posts *wink wink*
