Special Powers:

• Priests of the Blessed Afflictor are able to Command Undead, as a Cleric of their level.
• Priests of the Blessed Afflictor are totally immune to the effects of normal cold. Against magical cold effects (such as a cone of cold spell or white dragon breath), the priest gains a +4 bonus on his saving throws and suffers 2 fewer points of damage per die (minimum 1 damage).
• Priests of the Blessed Afflictor are immune to the paralytic touch of ghouls, ghasts, and similar undead. Furthermore, they get a saving throw vs. death to defend against the level-draining abilities of undead such as spectres, wights, wraiths, or vampires.
• A priest of the Blessed Afflictor of at least 8th level, automatically attracts a body of followers, both men drawn by his charisma and creatures drawn by the power of their god. These special followers arrive whether or not the priest has established a temple or base of operations. These followers will freely accompany the priest on his adventures and aid him in whatever way they can. These followers consist of 1 Wight, 2 Crypt Servants, 2 3rd-level Priests of the Blessed Afflictor, and 9 1st-level Fighters. The undead followers are intelligent and serve the priest of their own free will. They do not count against the limit on the number of undead that the priest can control.
  • Followers:
    • Number 538
    • 2 Crypt Servants (Brother Tullus Vipsanius & Brother Proculus Fabius)
    • Brother Gaius
    • Brother Proclus

• The people of Hillsfar are very alert against magic, given magic’s tight regulation in Hillsfar. As a result, they get a +1 bonus on saving throws versus spells.
• Whenever a Hillsfarran successfully attacks a target from behind, he deals double normal damage (or adds 1 to his damage multiplier if he has the rogue’s Backstab ability).

• Relic Seekers gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls with all weapons from the Picks group from long use of them as both weapons and digging tools.
• Specialized Culture (Nog): When dealing with any remains or ruins from the specialized culture, he gains a +3 bonus on his score on applicable proficiencies (ancient history, ancient language, excavations, find traps, relic dating, disarm traps, etc.).

• Clerics, regardless of religion, can always count on assistance from temples of their faith. Assuming a local temple of the appropriate faith is available, a cleric can request and expect the following aid (and perhaps more):
  • Safe haven, food, and board within the temple. In exchange, the cleric is expected to help the other clergy present. This hospitality is automatically extended to as many companions as the priest has levels. (A generous and gracious temple may extend it to anyone.)
  • A loan. Moneys borrowed may equal up to twice the cleric’s level times a hundred (in gold pieces). The loan must be repaid within 30 days.
  • Muscle. An cleirc may request the services of a number of 1st-level fighters equaling twice the priest’s level. All fighters will be equipped with chain mail and the traditional weapon of their faith (i.e. warhammers for Tyr or battle axes for Tempus). The time of service cannot exceed the cleric’s level in days, and the purpose of the mission should somehow advance the cause of the priest’s faith.
  • A cleric assistant of the same faith. The helper’s experience level equals half that of the priest served, rounded down; up to a maximum of 4th level. The assistant may be kept for up to one week per level of the priest before having to leave.

• Upon reaching 8th level, the cleric automatically attracts a fanatically loyal group of believers, provided the character has established a place of worship of significant size. These followers are normal warriors, 1st-level fighters, ready to fight for the cleric’s cause. The cleric attracts 20 to 200 (2d10 x10) of these followers. After the initial followers assemble, no new followers trickle in to fill the ranks of those who have fallen in service.
• At 9th level, the cleric may receive official approval to establish a religious stronghold, be it a fortified abbey or a secluded convent. Obviously, the stronghold must contain all the trappings of a place of worship and must be dedicated to the service of the cleric’s cause. However, the construction cost of the stronghold is half the normal price, since the work has official sanction and much of the labor is donated.

Penalties:

• Priests and servants of Duvan’Ku hate the Blessed Afflictor more than any other being, save perhaps Grimnir who originally killed and imprisoned their god, and will attack priests of the Blessed Afflictor on sight.

• All NPC encounters are penalized at -2 due to Hillsfar’s reputation. This increases to -4 against non-humans due to Hillsfar’s reputation for xenophobia, bigotry, and exploitation.
• Hillsfar’s xenophobia and strict education system prevent its citizens from learning about non-human cultures and magical theory, and the lack of childhood exposure plagues them even in their later careers. The proficiencies listed as “Forbidden” cost double the normal number of proficiency slots to learn (regardless of class).
  • Forbidden: Modern Language (any except above) and All Sorcerous Proficiencies

• Relic Seekers acquire new weapon proficiencies slower than other characters. The number of levels required to gain a new weapon proficiency slot is increased by one.
• Those Relic Seekers who choose to value and protect archaeological sites as places to further knowledge become disliked by collectors and traders, suffering a -2 on reaction rolls when dealing with such individuals.
• Whenever the relic seeker picks up a rumor concerning an artifact or other worthy item, he must make a successful Willpower check to keep from rushing to immediately find it. If the check fails, he’s off at the first opportunity.
• The first round of any combat, the relic seeker suffers a +2 penalty to his initiative roll, and in any location other than ruins or while on a relic hunt, the relic seeker is always surprised.

Equipment:

• Wanderer’s Staff (4 lbs)
• Dark Tunic, Breeches, Leather Belt, Waterproof Boots
• Chainmail w/ Mail Coif (40 lbs)
• Holy Symbol (spiked crown of bone and iron)
• Protective Amulet (vs. Lightning Bolt)
• Pace Beads (wrapped around wrist)
• Ring of Shocking Grasp
• Shadowcloak
  • This large, cowled cloak is made from pure black velvet. When worn by a thief it improves hide in shadows chances by 25% and makes a thief 50% likely to be invisible in near-darkness (even to infravision, ultravision, etc.).
  • It can also be used to cast darkness, darkness 15’ radius, and continual darkness once each per day (at 12th level of magic use).
  • Finally, once per day the wearer can actually transform into a Shadow for up to 12 turns, becoming a shadow in all respects save for mental ones (thus, the wearer cannot be damaged by nonmagical weapons, undead take the wearer for a shadow and ignore him, etc.). Saves against light-based attacks (e.g., a light spell cast into the eyes) are always made at -2 by the wearer of a shadowcloak.
  • If a cleric successfully makes a turning attempt against the wearer in shadowform, the cloak wearer is permitted a saving throw (this is at -4 if the cleric is actually able to damn/destroy shadows). If the save fails, the wearer suffers 1d6 points of damage per level of the cleric and the shadowcloak is destroyed. If the save is made, the character takes half damage and must flee in fear from the cleric at maximum rate for one turn.
