1/10

Birthright Prestige ClassesMost of the prestige classes from the basic rules can be easily adapted to the Birthright setting.They should be applied as follows:

Arcane Archer: This class could be found in some elven realms; the most likelycandidates would include Tuarhievel, the Sielwode, Coullabhie and Rhuannach.

Assassin: This class could be tied to some areas in Khinasi or Brechtr; the most likelyguild to sponsor assassins would be the Society of the Serpent.

Blackguard: This class does not have any place in current-day Cerilia. In the past, Azraisponsored groups of blackguards; undead blackguards might yet be found in areas of Cerilia.

Dwarven Defender: This class can be found in any dwarven realm, with the notableexception of Mur-Kilad.

Loremaster: This class can be found in most Cerilian lands, with the exception of the landsof the Vos and the savage humanoids.

Shadowdancer: Some sects of Elole sponsor shadowdancers most notably the Brechttemple/guild network las Quick Fingers. Some halflings also aspire to be shadowdancers.

Elf KnightAcross Cerilia, great Elven realms once stood, dominating the continent. One by one, thesehave fallen at the hands of the humans, or have had to retreat to the deepest woods. Muchremains of the ancient traditions and works of these realms, however not least the orders ofElven knighthood across the continent. While many human realms maintain armies ofcavalrymen themselves, they cannot match the skill or talent of the Elves; even Khinasihorsemanship looks like childs play when compared to one of the Sidhelien, with centuries oftraining. The Elven knights of Innishiere are especially awe-inspiring, with their flying steeds.

Elven Knights are almost exclusively drawn from the ranks of fighters and rangers.Occasionally, a few wizards have also joined the ranks of the Elven knights, and they oftenbecome even more feared than the fighters for they fight with spells as readily as with swordand bow.

Hit Die: d10

Class Skills

Special Mount: At first level, the Elf Knight gains a special mount. This is similar in allways to a paladins special mount, except as noted here. An elf mount is always a warhorse,though it can be heavy or light at the elfs choosing (usually light); however, its type is magicalbeast, not animal. Should the mount perish, the elf knight may train a new one, which must beacquired in the realm the elf knight serves or hails from. Such a mount takes one month to train

per class level, up to the elf knights current class level; it effectively is the mount of an elf

ManhunterThe manhunter is one of the foremost representatives of the gheallie sidhe. He hates humans,with an all-encompassing, all-consuming passion that is generally only experienced by elves. Adedicated manhunter will go to almost any length to accomplish his ultimate goal to drive thehumans from Cerilia. Most manhunters, however, are patient and cunning they realize that

they cannot hope to confront and drive away all of humanity on their own. They hone theircombat skills, waiting for the right time to strike, engaging both in long-term planning for thedownfall of humanity and the occasional hunt for lone humans.

Manhunters are most commonly drawn from the ranks of elven martial classes generallyfighters and rangers, and the occasional aristocrat. There are representatives of other classesfound among manhunters as well, however manhunter rogues, sorcerers and wizards are notunheard of. Bardic manhunters are all but unheard of, however the philosophy of Cerilianbards is generally such that they are almost always opposed to the manhunters, rather thanaligned with them.

Hit Die: d8

Requirements

To qualify to become a manhunter, a character must fulfill all the following criteria.

Alignment: Any evil.Race: Must be an elf.Base attack bonus: +5Hide: 4 ranksIntimidate: 4 ranksWilderness Lore: 5 ranksFeats: Run, TrackSpecial: Must have slain a human.

weapons, with light and medium armor, and with shields. Note that armor check penalties forarmor heavier than leather apply to the skills Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Hide, Jump, MoveSilently, Pick Pocket, and Tumble.

Spells: Beginning at 1st level, the manhunter gains the ability to cast a small number ofarcane spells. To cast a spell, the manhunter must have an Intelligence of at least 10 + thespells level so a manhunter with an Intelligence of 10 or lower cannot cast these spells.Manhunter bonus spells are based on Intelligence, and saving throws against these spells havea DC of 10 + the spells level + the manhunters Intelligence modifier (if any). The manhunter

spell list appears below. A manhunter learns, prepares and casts spells just as a wizard does.Human enemy: The manhunter has but one favored enemy humankind. Due to extensive

study of this enemy, the manhunter may claim a +1 bonus to Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot,and Wilderness Lore skill checks when using these skills against humans. Likewise, he gainsthe same bonus to all melee weapon damage rolls, and to missile weapon damage rolls againsttargets within 30 feet. The bonus increases by +1 at 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th level. This favoredenemy bonus stacks with other human favored enemy bonuses the manhunter may have, butnot with any other favored enemy bonuses.

Spellbind Humans: Starting at second level, the manhunter adds his favored enemy bonusagainst humans to the save DC of any spell he casts that targets humans. This applies only tospells that targets a creature or group of creatures.

Inspire Terror: Starting at fourth level, the manhunter gains the ability to inspire terror inany creature he encounters. As a free action, the manhunter can create an aura of fear,

extending to 30 feet. Any creature that approaches within this area must make a will save (DC10 + manhunter class level + manhunter charisma modifier; the favored enemy bonus is alsoadded if the character is human) or become frightened. A frightened creature must flee if it can,


5/10

even to the point of using limited special abilities to do so. If unable to flee, a frightenedcreature may fight, but suffers a -2 morale penalty on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, andsaving throws. A manhunter cannot affect a creature with more hit dice than himself with thisability. This is a supernatural ability, usable at most for one round per level per day. A creaturethat succeeds in its save against this ability remains immune to this ability when used by thatparticular manhunter for the rest of the day. Starting at eighth level, the manhunter causes

creatures to panic instead of become frightened. Panicked creatures flee as well as they can; ifunable to flee, they cower, unable to take any actions. Panicked creatures suffer a 2 moralepenalty on all saves, and has a 50% chance to drop whatever they are holding. Coweringcreatures gain no dexterity bonus to AC, and to-hit rolls against them are at +2. At tenth level,the manhunters ability to inspire terror becomes constant; it can always be active, if he sochooses.

Fast Movement: Starting at sixth level, the manhunters base speed goes up by +10 feet;generally, this means that an unarmored, unencumbered manhunter moves at 40 feet.

War Priest of BelinikThe war priests of Belinik are the leaders of the warriors of Vosgaard. They are instigators ofwar, strife and campaigns of terror. Mighty warriors themselves, they fuel the rage of thosewho are even greater masters of the martial arts. Those who have been initiated into the circleof war priests serve no other purpose than to increase the glory of their master by means ofwar; while they may occasionally appear to serve other goals, this invariably proves to be a

deception on the part of the war priest they are ever filled with hatred. Fear of their terriblemaster spurs the war priests on; he has no mercy for those who prove weak.

War priests are drawn from the ranks of the clerics of Belinik and the barbarian warriors ofVosgaard; while most of them has no use for the subtleties of religion (if indeed the faith ofBelinik can be called subtle), those who turn to the faith of Belinik become terrible indeed, forthey rage now with a purpose previously unimagined.
