  Total character feats: 7 (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13)
  Bonus half-elf feat (Skill Focus)
  Bonus feat from Highwind Knight's medal (Rapid Reload)
  
  Feat: Skill Focus: Stealth (Half-elf bonus feat)
  Description: You get a +3 bonus on all checks involving the chosen skill. If you have 10 or more ranks, this bonus increases to +6.
  Special: You can gain this feat multiple times. Its effects do not stack. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new skill.
  Prereqs: none
  Page: 134
  
  Feat: Rapid Reload (light crossbow)
  Description: Choose a type of crossbow (hand, light, or heavy). The time required for you to reload your chosen type of crossbow is reduced to a free action (for a hand or light crossbow) or a move action (for a heavy crossbow). Reloading a crossbow still provokes an attack of opportunity. If you have selected this feat for hand crossbow or light crossbow, you may fire that weapon as many times in a full-attack action as you could attack if you were using a bow.
  Normal: A character without this feat needs a move action to reload a hand or light crossbow, or a full-round action to reload a heavy crossbow.
  Special: You can gain Rapid Reload multiple times. Each time you take the feat, it applies to a new type of crossbow.
  Prereqs: Weapon Proficiency (crossbow type chosen)

  Rogue
  Sneak attack +4d6: anytime target is denied their Dex bonus to AC or when the rogue is flanking her target.
  Trapfinding: A rogue adds 1/2 her level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Thievery skill checks made on traps (+3). A rogue can use Thievery to disable magic traps.
  Evasion: If the rogue makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Must be in light or no armor and not helpless.
  Trap Sense +2: Applies to Reflex saves made to avoid traps and to AC against attacks made by traps.
  Uncanny Dodge: Cannot be caught flat-footed, and does not lose Dex bonus to AC if the attacker is invisible. (Can still lose Dex bonus to AC if immobilized or if an opponent successfully uses the feint action against her.)
  Rogue Talent: Fast Stealth: Allows the rogue to move at full speed using the Stealth skill without penalty.
  Rogue Talent: Trap Spotter: Whenever the rogue comes within 10 feet of a trap, she receives an immediate Perception skill check to notice the trap. This check should be made in secret by the GM.
  Rogue Talent: Quick Disable: The rogue takes half the normal amount of time to disable a trap using the Thievery skill (minimum 1 round).
  
  Shadowdancer
  Hide in Plain Sight: The shadowdancer can use the Stealth skill even when being observed. As long as she is within 10 feet of an area of dim light, she can hide herself from view in the open without anything to actually hide behind. She cannot, however, hide in her own shadow.
  Darkvision: The shadowdancer gains darkvision out to a range of 60 feet.
  Improved Uncanny Dodge: Cannot be flanked. Denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack her by flanking unless the other rogue has at least 4 more rogue/shadowdancer levels.
  Shadow Illusion (Sp) 3/day: This ability functions as silent image, using the shadowdancer level as the caster level. She can use this ability once per day for every two shadowdancer levels. The DC for this ability is Charisma-based.
  Summon Shadow (Su)
  Shadow Call (Sp) 2/day: This ability functions as shadow conjuration, using the shadowdancer level as the caster level. She can use this ability once per day plus one additional time per day for every 2 levels beyond 4th. Upon reaching 10th level, this ability functions as greater shadow conjuration. The DC for this ability is Charisma-based.
  Shadow Jump (Su) 80 feet: The ability to travel between shadows as if by means of a dimension door spell. The limitation is that the magical transport must begin and end in an area with at least some dim light. She can jump up to a total of 80 feet each day. This amount can be split among many jumps, but each one, no matter how small, counts as a 10-foot increment.
  Defensive Roll: Once per day, when the rogue would be reduce to 0 or fewer hit points by damage in combat (by weapon or other blow, not a spell or special ability), she can attempt to roll with the damage by attempting a Reflex saving throw (DC = damage dealt). If the save succeeds, she takes only half damage; if she fails, she takes full damage. Must be aware of the attack and able to react to it (if she is denied her Dex bonus to AC, she can't use this ability).
  Slippery Mind: If the rogue is affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails her saving throw, she can attempt it again 1 round later at the same DC. She gets only this one extra chance to succeed on her saving throw.
  Rogue Talent: Ledge Walker: Allows the rogue to move along narrow surfaces at full speed using the Acrobatics skill without penalty. In addition, she is not flat-footed when using Acrobatics to move along narrow surfaces.
  Rogue Talent: Resiliency: Once per day, the rogue can gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the rogue's level. Activating this ability is an immediate action that can only be performed when she is brought to below 0 hit points. This ability can be used to prevent her from dying. These temporary hit points last for 1 minute. If the rogues hit points drop below 0 due to the loss of these temporary hit points, she falls unconscious and is dying as normal.

  Wave (unique intelligent trident +3)
  -- Total to hit: +13/+8
  -- Damage: 1d10+3 piercing
  -- Critical: Special (1d10+3 plus 1/2 HP)
  -- Wave has a number of special abilities that Kaerri has discovered through roleplaying (granting his wielder the ability to breathe water; creating a Cube of Force around himself, able himself to speak with all underwater creatures) but she's not convinced he's yet told her everything he can do...
  
  Mithril long-knife +3 (from Ben the Smith)
  -- Total to hit: +13/+8
  -- Damage: 1d6+3 piercing
  -- Critical: 17-20/x2 (keen-edged)
  -- Range: 10 feet
  
  Stinger (rare light crossbow +4)
  -- Total to hit: +22/+17
  -- Damage: 1d8+6 piercing (+4 Stinger, +2 Bracers of Marksmanship)
  -- Critical 19-20/x2 (stacking critical up to x4)
  -- Range: 80 feet
  -- Of half-elf make; can Slow 3/day (Will DC 15, lasts 8 rounds)
  -- 10 crossbow bolts +2 (adds to damage and attack; as per Shop Talk, attack bonus does not stack with crossbow bonus)
  -- 12 masterwork crossbow bolts (adds +1 to attack; as per Shop Talk, does not stack with crossbow bonus)
  
  Spoiler: Stinger's description and special abilities

  In the hands of any but a half-elf, this weapon is a +2 light crossbow. In the hands of a half-elf, the weapon gains the following bonuses:
  - Bolts from Stinger may hamper the combat ability of opponents. If the strike causes damage to the target, the target must roll a saving throw (Will, DC 15) or be Slowed for 8 rounds. This function can be attempted three times per day. Bolts fired thusly strike with a purple explosion of magic.
  - Stacking Critical (max x4!): When you roll a natural 19 or 20 and critically hit, roll again as if confirming the critical under previous rules. Every successful attack roll against the target's AC increases the critical modifier by 1 and results in another roll (up to x4). Once the roll fails, however, the critical modifier stays as is. Ex: Kaitha, the half-elven Paladin, rolls a 19 to hit an ogre. The weapon has scored a critical hit (critical modifier x2). Kaitha's player rolls again, with a total of 21, which is a successful hit and raises the critical modifier by 1 (total of x3). She rolls a third time, a 9, and the critical successes stop at x3. Stinger strikes for 3d8 +12 points of damage, and the ogre howls painfully.
  - Stinger is a collapsing crossbow. Upon uttering the command word (Drualli - "Sleep"), Stinger becomes an easy-to-hide rectangular object (1 ft long, 3 inches wide, 3 inches deep). The crossbar folds along the sides, the trigger and handle fold inside the body, and the sights and ridges flatten. The bowstring becomes Reduced, and the weapon overall becomes highly portable. The command word Alsti ("Fly") reverses Stinger to its normal shape and size.
  
  Spike Shot (rare sling +3)
  -- Total to hit: +19/+14
  -- Damage: 1d6+3
  ("Increases damage for launched object to the next dice greater; i.e., d4 becomes d6")
  -- Critical: 19-20/x2
  -- Range: 50 feet
  -- From Anubis priests
  -- "Named such as the object launched becomes covered in tiny, sharp spikes. Once Spike Shot strikes, the launched stone or object reverts to its normal shape."
  -- 8 magical sling bullets (+1 to damage and attack; as per Shop Talk, attack bonus does not stack with sling bonus)
  -- 14 sling stones
  
  Bola
  -- Total to hit: +16/+11
  -- Damage: 1d4
  -- Critical: x2
  -- Range: 15 feet (-3 increments)
  -- Special: +2 to entangle
  
  Weapons (in pack)
  Dagger +3
  -- Total to hit: +13/+8
  -- Damage: 1d4+3 piercing
  -- Critical 19-20/x2
  -- Range: 10 feet
  -- From Ben the Smith
  
  2 Daggers +2
  -- Total to hit: +12/+7
  -- Damage: 1d4+2 piercing

  -- Armor Bonus: +5+5
  -- Dexterity Modifier Cap: +8
  -- Check Penalty: -0
  -- Speed Penalty: none
  -- Forged by Asgardian elves of unknown metal
  
  Jewelry and other items
  Kaerri has rather a lot of such things; the ones she is currently wearing are marked with **
  
  ** Trophy of Typhon: +4 to Athletics checks involving swimming (and user cannot fumble); may be used with other non-fiery magical necklaces. "This beautiful assortment of seashells, undersea magical runes, and predators' teeth is a tribute to heroes of the undersea (especially those of the Sea Elven folk). Creatures of the sea (especially the Deep Sea) will recognize the Trophy of Typhon upon first glance and will act accordingly. If legends are to be believed, some sea predators will refuse to attack a user of such a trophy."
  ** Charm of Bastet: Improved Initiative (+4), Cat's Grace 1/day, Immune to Enchantments spells/effects cast by reptiles (4th level or lower). "An expertly-carved golden figurine of a perched Abyssinian cat, dangling from a chain of intertwined kittens. The kittens seem to be chasing one another from right to left. Each kitten bears a hieroglyph. When all are read, the following is learned: 'Enrich the world with life. Cleanse the path to greatness with power, wisdom, patience, and the corpses of your foes. Retire and enjoy life and all of its blessings.' If the user is not in good standing with the Egyptian goddess Bast, this item works as a loadstone. Taboo: Never pass up the opportunity to destroy minions of Set."
  ** Knight of Highwind medal: shows rank of Knight in Highwind's nobility (not magical)
  Brooch of Blending (transforms Half-elves to look either as humans or elves, more)
  ** Henrietta's Hallowed Hairpin
  

  "I recognize this imprint! This is one of Henrietta's Hallowed Hairpins from the market square, except this one is... probably Oti's age?" She winks at her handsome half-elf. She reaches over and holds it up. It is a delicate and shiny Highwindian hairpin carved from white wood in an old wooden case at least 50 years in age (value 1 g.p.).
  
  "This hairpin will magically keep in place any hairstyle to which it is affixed. However, Henrietta was known to loathe the undead. According to books I studied in the Church-fortress of Saint Cuthbert, is said that any corporeal undead creature to whom this pin is stuck into will not be able to transform into any type of incorporeal matter. Ever since I read that, I've always wanted to see if it is true!"
  (DM notes: In actuality, this is a +3 Hairpin, 1 h.p. piercing damage. Treated as both a Good/holy and silver weapon for purposes of Damage Reduction.)

  
  
  Ring of Warmth: Continual Endure Elements (absorbs 5 points of cold damage per round)
  Ring of Invisibility: at will
  ** Ring of Freedom of Movement: at will
  Rary's Telepathic Ring: From Shalin Riversbane

  Awareness (Espionage and Wilderness skill)
  Awareness. This training enables the individual to actively use their five senses in gathering information from their surroundings. Training includes trusting one's senses to accurately identify sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and touch sensations in situations where the character can reasonably make use of their senses.
  Note that this skill is not passive in nature; Player Characters must declare when they are using it.
  Base Skill: None. Provides a +1 Perception bonus at 1st level proficiency and +1 at every 3rd level until 15th.
  Bonus: +5% to the Detect Ambush and Detect Concealment skills.

  Spoiler: Binding skill

  Binding (Espionage): This is the practiced art of knot-making and binding. The character will know the best way to tie someone/something down tightly and securely. The character will know a wide array of knots, the abilities of each one, and when each one should be used. Anyone tied up in this manner will find it nearly impossible to escape (-15% for escape artists). This skill also adds a one-time bonus of +5% to Climbing, since superior knots are used. Base Skill: 30% +5% per level of experience.

  Sneak Attack Critical Strike from Behind: when attacking from surprise or when flanking, the rogue receives the Critical Strike from Behind bonus. This stacks with any Critical Strike from Behind bonuses offered by the rogue's Hand-to-Hand skill (triple damage).
  Trapfinding: A rogue adds 1/2 her level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Thievery skill checks made on traps (+3). A rogue can use Thievery to disable magic traps.
  Evasion: Acts the same as in D&D/Pathfinder.
  Trap Sense +2: Acts the same as in D&D/Pathfinder except use the following changes instead: +2 to Dodge and all Saving Throws involving avoiding traps, add +2 to Parry, Dodge, or Roll against attacks made by traps.
  Uncanny Dodge: Does not apply to Palladium. Instead, the rogue retains bonuses to Parry/Dodge/Roll when Surprised, and only suffers 1/2 the negative penalties when fighting against invisible opponents.
  Rogue Talent: Fast Stealth: Allows the rogue to move at full speed using the Stealth skill without penalty.
  Rogue Talent: Trap Spotter: Whenever the rogue comes within 10 feet of a trap, she receives an immediate Perception skill check to notice the trap. This check should be made in secret by the GM.
  Rogue Talent: Quick Disable: The rogue takes half the normal amount of time to disable a trap using the Thievery skill (minimum 1 round).
  
  Shadowdancer abilities

  3. Evasion: As with Rogue, acts the same as in D&D/Pathfinder.
  4. Darkvision (Ex): 60-foot range. Acts the same as in D&D/Pathfinder.

  6. Rogue Talent (3rd and 6th):
  - 3rd, Rogue Talent: Ledge Walker. Acts the same as in D&D/Pathfinder except Attacks of Opportunity do not apply in Palladium.

  8. Summon Shadow (Su): This is the ability that makes Eris possible. At some point, Dannigan ought to work out what happens if Eris is destroyed (negative levels are a thing of D&D/Pathfinder but not in Palladium). A bridge to cross if/when we get there (hopefully we won't!).
  9. Shadow Call (Sp): Shadow Call spell does not apply to Palladium. Instead, select two Shadow Magic spells (Secrets of the Atlanteans, page 94) from levels 1-4.

• Shadow Magic (Secrets of the Atlanteans, page 94)
  Select two spells from levels 1-2:
  - Lengthen Shadows (level 1)
  - Shadow Walk (level 2)
  Select two spells from levels 1-4:
  - Shadow Displacement (level 3)
  - Shadow Skin (level 3)
  
  Level 1:
  Lengthen Shadows (PPE 4) (Secrets of the Atlanteans, page 95)
  Range: Self or object that casts a long shadow, or lengthens an existing shadow, 10 feet (3m) per experience level (90 feet at 9th level).
  Duration: Four minutes per experience level (36 minutes at 9th level).
  Saving Throw: None.
  PPE: Four.
  The spellcaster can cause any person or object, including himself, to cast a long, dark shadow in any direction he desires, regardless of other existing light sources. This unnatural shadow can be used for dramatic effect to intimidate or startle others, but is more often crafted to assist operatives. The creation of a long shadow can create a bridge from one shadow to another or give assassins and Shadow Mages a path to travel unseen, or a dark place within which to hide, vanish, or become Ethereal, and similar uses.
  
  Level 2:
  Shadow Walk (PPE 6) (Secrets of the Atlanteans, page 96)
  Range: Self, or self and one other by touch
  Duration: Four minutes per experience level (36 minutes at 9th level).
  Saving Throw: None.
  PPE: Six.
  This spell enables the spellcaster to cast a long shadow in front of himself. When walking in his own shadow, as well as other, natural shadows around him, the spellcaster makes no sound and leaves no footprints, even when walking on dry leaves, gravel, sand, mud, or snow, nor do his footsteps leave a heat signature. All traces of his passage are swallowed up by the shadows.
  Moreover, if the spellcaster directs his shadow to go up the side of a wall or building, the mage can walk "up" the shadow-covered surface, defying gravity and the laws of physics. Thus, Shadow Walk can be used to reach windows, ledges, and rooftops.
  Note: Shadow Walk requires a walking pace up to a slow jog, never a full run (maximum Spd 10).
  
  Level 3:
  Shadow Displacement (PPE 8) (Secrets of the Atlanteans, page 97)
  Range: Corresponding shadow must be no more than 100 feet (30.5m) and within line of sight. (Unless the mage is using Shadowsight; then range is equal to the Shadowsight spell.)
  Duration: One melee round.
  Saving Throw: None.
  PPE: Eight.
  The spellcaster is able to reach into a shadow at his location and have his arm come out of a shadow as far as 100 feet away; farther with Shadowsight. This can be useful for startling or scaring someone near or in a different shadow by tapping him on his shoulder or punching him (standard punch damage; power punch is not possible), or grabbing something or flicking a switch from across a room or across the street. Attacking this way is awkward, so all attacks are -2 to strike. This spell only enables the spellcaster to reach through a shadow. He cannot completely step through it. See Shadow Shift for that.
  
  Shadow Skin (PPE 8) (Secrets of the Atlanteans, page 98)
  Range: Self or self and one other by touch.
  Duration: 10 minutes per experience level (90 minutes at 9th level) or until destroyed.
  Saving Throw: Standard.
  PPE: Eight.
  This spell creates a soft, skin-tight suit of flexible black armor that feels like thin rubber. The primary purpose for the skin is stealth and concealment. Consequently, the Shadow Skin covers the wearer from head to toe like a bodysuit with a pullover mask that completely covers the head and face. If he is wearing clothing or other armor, it is covered in the inky darkness of the Shadow Skin as if it were an outer covering. The face, hands, and all are covered by the rubbery shadow, which means the wearer leaves no finger- or palmprints, nor footprints with any discernable features. The recipient of the enchantment can breathe and see through the Shadow Skin as if it were not there. Movement is unimpaired.
  Shadow Skin only provides minimal protection: Six S.D.C. per experience level (54 at 9th level) with an AR of 12.
  Bonuses: The Shadow Skin adds a +10% bonus to the Prowl skill (or provides a base Prowl skill of 33%) and a +10% bonus to the Chameleon spell if it is cast after the Shadow Skin is put into place. Shadow Skin also keeps the wearer cool and comfortable up to 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65.5 C) and prevents leaving behind forensic evidence (hair, fibers, DNA, fingerprints, etc.).
  
  Level 5:
  Shadow Shift (PPE 16) (Secrets of the Atlanteans, page 101)
  Range: Self, or self and as many as one other by touch. The "shift" can be made up to 50 feet (15.2m) away per level of the spellcaster (450 feet at 9th level). Line of sight and shadows required.
  Duration: Instant and counts as one melee attack/action.
  Saving Throw: None.
  PPE: Sixteen.
  Note: Each "relocation" counts as one spell and one melee attack.
  This spell is great for a fast escape or instant, nearby relocation as it enables the spellcaster to enter one shadow and appear at another one up to 50 feet/level away (450 feet at 9th level). The shadows do not need to be connected, but do have to be large enough to cover a man and the distant shadow must be visible from where the spellcaster is standing. The spell has less to do with teleportation than it does a form of dimensional shifting from one shadow location to another one within the same reality. The shadow must be no smaller than five feet (1.5m) tall, long, or in diameter.
  Whenever the spellcaster enters a massive shadow that is 20 feet (6.1m) to hundreds of feet, he may disappear and reappear anywhere within that same shadow, provided the "relocation" does not exceed the maximum range. If the shadow reaches a rooftop, bridge, or ledge, then its location is accessible via Shadow Shift. Trying to shift onto a moving vehicle that passes under or through a shadowy location is possible, but risky. Roll 1d20. 1-10 is a failure, 11-20 is a success. Staying on top of a fast-moving vehicle is likely to require additional effort and skill or combat rolls. Also remember that each Shadow Shift requires casting of the spell and uses up one melee attack/action.
  
  
• 
  Taking notes is less of a chore than fighting to remember.
  
• 
  Once upon a time is a time that you create. Your character came from somewhere, was somebody (whether they realized it or not), and came from two other somebodies. But where did the seed first sprout? How deep the roots? How far did the branches reach out? How much sun did they have to grow and darkness to keep them safe? Were there a few nearby trees or an entire forest?
  
• 
  Place things here, like goals and memories, that bring you back to your character on those days when they seem far away. The things here might make you realize that the things that bring you joy are often closer to your reach than may first appear. =)
