A profaner, Nymus the Rash, wearing the symbol of the Anti-Demon (cf.), cornered in the Dungeons of Skulldon and casting the 1st level profaner alteration spell mechanical fists.
PROFANER
class
(Swordlands
name: FICCUID “FICK-WIT”)
The
profaner is a sub-class of cleric. They are a little known counter
class to the druids. Whereas a druid views a world of balancing
forces, the bizarre profaner purview is a “neutrality” of
righteous carnage with no regard for the outcome. The profaners are
prosuburbs (non-farming) and pro-fringe (rundown) society as an
ideal. Although, a “what will be will be” view is never taken as
they are almost always on a collision course with themselves and the
world in their constant activity of “poking the dragon”. This
doesn’t make them unwise rather the average profaner is more
tactical than most classes due to this philosophy of action. Where
the druid helps, profaners instead will counter sometimes directly
seeming evil but its usually to reserve for a bigger picture. They
have their own set of abilities and spells which are somewhere
between cleric, druid and magic-user. Note: While profaners seem
anti-demihuman, they are not and will employ any nonhuman race with
the exception of support while planar traveling to humanless voids
(See below under spell casting time).
To
become a profaner, a character absolutely must be human (With no room
for subclass adaptation as the “magic” partly stems from the aura
of humanity.). They must have a minimum wisdom of 15. They also must
be very persuasive and have a charisma of 17. If both exceed 17 (18
or over) it adds 10% experience.
The
styling of their spells is very antagonistic of druids often
garnering the name “anti-druids” in addition to other colorful
pejoratives (Druids call them “f*ckwits” in the Swordlands.
Mocking the name that they call themselves: The Ficcuids. This term
means falsifier and is pronounced FICK-WIT. The term falsifier comes
from their anti-druidic sentiments whereas druids were called
speakers of the truth.). In urban centers, they are called profaners,
as they don’t fit in with the cult edifices of the temple
districts, often being found on the edges of metropolitan areas where
they meet near farming communities.
As
they are different from clerics and druids they have far different
standards of gear. The only armor they are allowed to wear is
chainmail (“purified” in a 10 hour rite) with no shield and their
weaponry must match magic-user’s weapon proficiencies (dagger, dart
& staff [UA: also caltrop, knife,& sling.]).
They
can use oil and poison (poison use dependent on campaign).
They,
like druids, have certain innate abilities unique to the class.
At
1st level:
Sense
Non-Neutrals – This gives them a slight feeling that someone is not
of neutral alignments
At
2nd level:
Sense
Chaos, Evil, Good or Law – This gives the profaner a slight feeling
if someone is leaning towards any of those alignments.
Morale
Boost – They add 1% to their reaction adjustment every level
At
3rd level:
Detect
Exact Alignment - Once per day
At
9th level:
Flesh
Golem Form - The profaner can change into a flesh golem. In this
shape, their hp remain the same but everything else is as monster.
At
11th level
Clay
Golem Form - The profaner can change into a clay golem. In this
shape, their hp remain the same but everything else is as monster.
At
14th level:
Stone
Golem Form - The profaner can change into a stone golem. In this
shape, their hp remain the same but everything else is as monster.
At
18th level:
Iron
Golem Form - The profaner can change into a iron golem. In this
shape, their hp remain the same but everything else is as monster.
Profaners
never speak the languages of nonhumans and favor human languages.
They have no secret language and prefer public speaking. Because of
this hardheadedness, every 2 levels they gain knowledge of a new
human language.
They
fight and save as clerics.
They
can use magic items allowed for all classes and specifically those
for clerics that are not written magic. They are forbidden to touch
druid items and vise versa. They can create magic items like clerics
and druids.
Unlike
druids, they can go up in level unlimited. Upon reaching 20th
they are automatically a leader of their faith but leaders can be any
level.
They
attract followers as a cleric does but they do not develop any
constructed temples often having ceremonies in cave complexes or
sometimes in the old warehouses of outer wards of cities. Emphasis is
usually on garb depicting neutral deities.
Where
there is a question they usually follow the guidelines for clerics
(and druids), however, unlike those they can drift off their
alignment for up to a week. If they do not turn back at the end of
the week to Neutral then they lose all function except HD and weapon
knowledge.

Spell’s
material components are limited to charcoal from rowan trees that are
growing on a boulder (greater rowan).
NOTE:
If harvested from rowan growing on the ground (lesser rowan) then the
spell range is cut to 90%, the duration of the spells is cut to 75%
and the area of effect is cut to 50%. If the rowan is rarely growing
on another tree the spell effectiveness for all three
(range,duration, and area is 150%). If any of the charcoal is not
produced by the profaner then effectiveness for range and duration is
reduced by -25%.

Throw: None
Explanation/Description:
The profaner casts this spell to gain construction materials and/or
destroy trees. When cast upon healthy trees it converts them into
nicely milled boards. The profaner creates a number of “board feet”
(1 inch thick and 1 foot square) based on the number of logs yielded
from the tree. This is easily reckoned by the chart below (based on
real world international measurements). First roll D20 for the
diameter of the tree at breast height (DBH) and then roll D8 to see
log yield. Trees with known specific sizes must be DM’s judgement.
Included
here for reference is a converted to a random chart version (citation
included) of the international ¼ inch rule chart for # of boards
yielded from a log (Hint if too “numbery” for you just completely
ignore and make it up):

Explanation/Description:
This spell allows the profaner to communicate with the animus of a
place. That is the collected impressions of a known area get a kind
of intelligence to it. This “intelligence” is very limited and
its mostly hearing the echo of someone referring to the place.
However there is a second factor to this spell, if a place of human
activity has a story or depiction of it anthropomorphized then it
gains a viable personality intelligence based on how many years its
been considered to feel alive by humans. For every generation (of 25
years) of human activity in and around the area that has a
descriptive depiction, the area gains 1 point of intelligence. This
lingering spirit will sometimes come across as a feeling but with
this spell it can talk possibly for the first time:

eventually “dies”. Whatever personality it had is gone.
Note:
If an organized religion is revolved around the area that is not
involved with the area being alive then the spell caster must make a
saving throw versus spells to make it happen.

resistance then subtract the magic resistance making the remainder
its chance of innate spell failure (example: a creature such as a
satyr with 50% magic resistance would be 100%-50%=50% making their
ability to play a pipe and cause fear, charm or sleep a 50% chance

Explanation/Description:
Through use of this spell the profaner is able to enter into a mined
but natural stone face and travel along the deposits of minerals and
exit in a mine of similar nature as the mineral entered. If a
particular mine is desired then that can be reached as well. However
if the specific destination has been tapped out then the spell fails
and the profaner must return the way they came. If the mineral vein
is harmed (Earthquake, xorn feeding, etc) then the profaner
takes the appropriate damage in real space.

ReplyDeleteThank you. Much appreciated.

ReplyDeleteYou should also consider changing the HD gained per level, so that it tops out at 8-10 d8 vs. 20d8 (!), so that higher-level profaners gain +2 (or +1 or whatever) hp per level after reaching name level (mimicking the cleric HD/hp progression).
Allan.
Thats another mixup. Thanks, Allan. The html kept popping when I was posting that and it must have replicated the same line. The "name level" was supposed to be 13 to be similar to the "hierophant" druid material. Its fixed now.
