Special Powers:

• Hillsfar natives can come and go from Hillsfar at will.
• When engaged with large numbers of weak enemies (less than 1 HD each), the warrior gains double his normal number of attacks per round (including doubling attacks with off-hand weapons). Starting at 11th level, this applies to any foe with 10 fewer HD than the warrior’s levels (so a 12th level warrior can do this against 2HD creatures).
• The scholar receives a +1 bonus on all Intelligence and Wisdom based ability checks or proficiency checks (included above)
• Under a scholar’s close supervision, any character can temporarily gain any proficiency the scholar has, using the student character’s ability scores for success. The time required for this compacted teaching equals as many days as 20, minus the student’s Intelligence score (1 day minimum). This temporary proficiency is a result of the scholar’s extraordinary ability to teach. The proficiency is forgotten after a number of days equal to the student’s Intelligence score. Only one temporary proficiency may be held by any character at any time; if another temporary proficiency is taught, the older one is promptly forgotten.
• Scholars maintain an extensive correspondence with other scholars throughout the world. Additionally, a scholar’s reputation as a man of wisdom often precedes him. When encountering an NPC who is familiar with his reputation, who turns out to be one of his correspondents, who fancies himself an intellectual, or who is an author, researcher, teacher, journalist, or fellow scholar, the scholar receives a +3 bonus on NPC reactions.
• Because of their stubborn, obsessive nature, scholars are naturally resistant to Enchantment magic. They gain a +1 on all saves against such spells and, whenever commanded to perform an
  action that would be against the welfare of their collections, they are entitled to another, immediate saving throw at +5 to resist. If successful, the spell is broken.
• A scholar knows how to use a library properly to gain information, even if the library is completely unorganized. In any circumstance in which a certain critical piece of information can be found if searched for in a library or any other collection of books and scrolls, the scholar can find that item in half the time anyone else can find it. This ability varies according to circumstance but should be played up when possible.
• When handling any magical book, libram, tome, scroll, or other magical writing, the scholar gains a +4 to any saving throw required to escape the writing’s negative effects, if any. If no saving throw is normally allowed, the scholar receives one but without the +4 bonus. This power applies to anything from handling a page with explosive runes on it (to which the scholar would get a saving throw vs. spell that is not usually given) to reading a libram of ineffable damnation (to which a scholar would also get a bonus saving throw vs. spell). A scholar has a 9% of identifying magical writing on the spot without triggering its baneful effects. The scholar must be within 10 feet of an object to identify it.
• Legend Lore: A scholar is widely read enough to have a 15% chance to know the history, purpose, and legends surrounding any single magical item he can examine closely (without touching) for 1d4 hours.
• Back Protection (BP): Because of their constant alertness, a spy has a chance of detecting an attack from behind, made by any character or creature. If the spy successfully detects the attack, he avoids it. Additionally, the spy is entitled to counter-attack the attacker immediately, even if the spy already attacked that turn.
• Detect illusion: Spies, masters of deception themselves, can see through visible illusions within their line of sight, up to 90 feet away. They perceive the illusion as a translucent image, seeing through it as though it were a light mist. The more real the illusion, the more solid the image. For example, phantasmal force would be totally translucent, while a simulacrum would be mostly solid. Demishadow monsters would be somewhere in between the two. Invisibility and other nonvisible effects cannot be discerned.
  Detection is not automatic, and the spy must spend a round concentrating on the area of effect to discover its illusionary qualities. Knowing that something is an illusion is not necessarily a fail-safe defense against illusionary magic, such as in the case of a simulacrum.
• Backstab: Spies are weak in toe-to-toe hacking matches, but they are masters of the knife in the back. When attacking someone by surprise and from behind, a spy can improve his chance to successfully hit (+4 modifier for rear attack and negate the target’s shield and Dexterity bonuses) and greatly increase the amount of damage his blow causes (x4 damage).
  To use this ability, the spy must be behind his victim and the victim must be unaware that the spy intends to attack him. If an enemy sees the spy, hears him approach from a blind side, or is warned by another, he is not caught unaware, and the backstab is handled like a normal attack (although bonuses for a rear attack still apply). Opponents in battle will often notice a spy trying to maneuver behind them—the first rule of fighting is to never turn your back on an enemy! However, someone who isn’t expecting to be attacked (a friend or ally, perhaps) can be caught unaware even if he knows the spy is behind him.
• Kryptgarten Pantheists have access to the religion-specific spells of both Mask and Chauntea. Which is taken as a tacit sign of approval from those deities.
• Kryptgarten Pantheists can cast the Cantrip wizard spell 4/day. This can be used to produce one of the following effects: Clean, Dust, Exterminate, Freshen, Polish, or Shine (See Wizards Spell Compendium: Appendix 1).
• The Kryptgarten Pantheist can give a special bless to a farm’s crops, once a day. This blessing will make the land produce at 150% its normal yield. A collective field of crops can only be so blessed once a year.
• Kryptgarten Pantheist have a 40% chance of diagnosing a disease or identifying a poison. The pantheist can brew an antidote to any poison that is properly identified. This requires a proficiency check using the Herbalism proficiency and takes 7 rounds.
• Underworld contacts: Being more criminally aware than other adventurers, the outlaw is an expert at finding contacts among local thieves. Given an hour in a seedy tavern, and four or five gold pieces for drinks and bribes, an outlaw can find a contact-—typically a thief of levels 1-4. This contact can lead the character to other rogues, take him to the local thieves’ guild, exchange information about possible “jobs,” or even buy stolen goods to fence at a later date.
• Once per day, prior to making an attack, an outlaw may spend 1d4+1 rounds boosting the morale of his companions with flattering words and expressions of confidence. He can influence a number of companions equal to his level. If the outlaw makes a successful Leadership check afterwards, the companions enjoy a +2 bonus to their morale for the next 3d4 rounds. Each companion also receives a +1 bonus to his first attack roll. The inspiring speech doesn’t affect animals or himself. The outlaw can’t attempt to inspire his companions in the midst of battle or while they’re occupied in any other activity.
• A fighter can teach weapon proficiencies when he reaches 3rd level and can train students in the use of any weapon in which he is specialized. The fighter may train a number of students equal to his level in a single “training class.” A training class requires eight hours of study each and every day for one month. At the end of that time, each student must make an Intelligence check. Those who pass gain a bonus proficiency slot in that weapon. A student may only be trained once, regardless of success, with a specific weapon. Students can learn any number of new proficiencies in this manner, even beyond those slots normally allowed for a character of that level.
• A fighter can operate heavy war machines when he reaches 4th level, including bombardment engines (such as ballistae, catapults, and trebuchets), crushing engines (such as rams and bores), and siege towers.
• A fighter can supervise the construction of defenses when he reaches 6th level. These include ditches and pits, fields of stakes, hasty stone and wooden barricades, and even semi-permanent stone fortifications.

Penalties:

• Zhentilar and Mulman warriors attack Hillsfarrans on sight.
• Kryptgarten Pantheists cannot turn or control undead.
• All NPC encounters against non-humanoids are penalized at -2 due to Hillsfar’s reputation for xenophobia, bigotry, and exploitation.
• Scholars lack the training and instinct to make good hand-to-hand fighters. When attacking with any type of melee weapon, the scholar always has a -1 penalty to hit on his first attack against any given opponent. Subsequent blows-when the scholar has had an opportunity to size up his opponent and adjust his attacks accordingly-are made without this penalty. However, if the scholar attacks a different opponent, his first blow against his new victim is also made at -1.
• Because of his lack of social skills, a scholar suffers a -1 penalty to his loyalty base and NPC reaction adjustment when dealing with anyone who is not a scholar, sage, priest, or wizard. As the character becomes progressively more a recluse, this penalty worsens to one-half the scholar’s level (rounded down).
• Outlaws may only keep as much treasure and equipment as they can carry.
• The major problem with being an outlaw is that the law is always after the characters. Though the authorities do not have to put in an appearance in every single play-session, they’re always out there, plotting against the heroes. Many of them are quite clever, they probably have more money, ships, and men than the heroes, and they’ll continue to plague the heroes until the campaign is done.
• Any time after reaching 4th level, the Outlaw will acquire a personal nemesis. This is an NPC of equal level whose campaign goal is to capture or kill the Outlaw.

• Once a fighter reaches 10th level, he attracts his first unit of followers. This first unit always consists of warriors of the same race and background as the fighter (that is, if the fighter is part of a barbarian tribe, so is his first unit of followers). The first unit consists of 2d4 stands (20-80 individuals). Roll 1d3 to determine the level of the unit. As the fighter gains each new level beyond the 10th, he attracts another unit of followers. Roll dice to determine the number of stands in the unit and the level of the followers. These subsequent followers may be of very different backgrounds than the fighter himself.
