The Santa Claws must be worn in pairs, or the magical effects are nullified.Santa ClawsDamage: 1d4+1Critical: 19-20x2Damage Type: SlashingSize: smallWeight: 1.5 lbs eaPurchase DC: 22 Res (+2)Notes: Naughty or Nice, Naughty List, +1 magical weapon (+1 to attack and damage rolls)Naughty or Nice - Wielder can detect the alignment of all creatures within sight as a standard action with a Concentration check DC 18.Naughty List - When used to deal damage to targets with alignment of evil or has Allegiances to evil groups/creatures/gods, damage is doubledWarp-Wrap 1st level arcane spellCasting Time: 1 actionRange: 30 ftComponents: V, S, M (a scrap of wrapping paper)Duration: InstantaneousChoose a large or smaller sized creature can see within range. The target must make a Charisma (Will?) saving throw. On a failed save, the target disappears as it is sent to the plane of holiday cheer until the start of its next turn, at which point it reappears in the same space it occupied (or the nearest available space) wrapped in paper covered in festive designs and patterns. While banished to the plane of holiday cheer, the creature is incapacitated.While wrapped in paper the target is Blinded and its speed is halved. The target or another creature within 5 feet of it can use an action or bonus action to remove the paper. Otherwise, the creature remains wrapped until the paper is removed. The paper is flammable and is instantly destroyed if the wrapped creature ignites or takes fire damage.Order of the ClausA saintly order made up of variants of Santa Claus, Saint Nicolas and other beings that fulfill similar roles of spreading cheer, good will, giving gifts to the good, and punishing evil.CENTRAL OFFICES: unknownMAJOR REGIONAL OFFICES: North Pole on Earth, A large island floating about the Plane of GoodMAJORITY STOCKHOLDER: UnknownLogo: Stylized image of side of Santa ClausINFORMATION: The Order of the Claus is made up of multiple variants of Santa Claus, St. Nicolas and other beings that spread cheer, unity and good will. They work to spread good will, cheer and unity amongst humanity and other races. They are most active around Christmas and similar holidays, delivering goods, presents, medical aid and other needed goods. Besides the variants of Santa Claus and similar beings, other creatures and sentient beings work to help these beings of good by running the operations to help in the delivering and production of goods, food, presents, etc; some work as body guards and others as ambassadors to ensure the agents of the Order can move about any location where they are needed.Some members work only to punish evil, such as Krampus, although these members are fewer in numbers, they are the more secretive in nature, and many of these members will ignore any and all laws to deliver the punishment of their targeted evil being.The only locations run by the Order of the Claus known to outsiders are a fortress city at the North Pole on Earth, and a huge floating island that moves about the Plane of Good, however there are many hidden and secret factories, training facilities and offices throughout the universe that are only known to some members of the Order, particularly the Santa variants. The Order has a large fleet of starships, ground and air vehicles to facilitate in the delivery of goods, and moving their members about the galaxies. The Order also has one of the largest collection of artifacts and users that can create portals to allow near instantaneous travel to virtually anywhere in the multiverse.Non Santa variant members have access to a ready supply of general equipment, insurance, and are well paid, and access to portals that will take them to their local Order facility for their duties. Depending on their role, many members are free to pursue whatever they wish during the year, however, regardless of their role in the Order, the month of December they must dedicate strictly to the Order and perform their primary duties.Possible Adventure SeedsHelp the ClausAn Order transport (space, ground, water or air) is under attack by pirates and its normal escort is destroyed and is sending out a general SOS. The Players can answer the call and fight off the pirates. As reward for saving the transport, can get a one time boost in funds (+10 PDC to next time they go shopping), a few low level magical items but no weapons or armour, free repairs to any of their equipment that was damaged in the rescue attempt.PCs could also be tasked to escort the transport to its destination where its cargo will be distributed to Order agents (such as variants of Santas).Missing SantaThe planet (or country) the Players are on/in has had their representative of the Order kidnapped and must be rescued. Rumours of a terrorist group are responsible, or a rival to the planet/country is responsible. The Players much search the site of the kidnapping (the agent's vehicle is a wreckage in the wilderness) for clues as to the culprits and where they have taken the agent of the Order. The agent must be rescued within 1 week as Christmas/similar holiday is only 8 days away.Rewards can range from minor magical items/weapons or items of a single PL (progress level) higher than normally access to, to a new transportation vehicle with 1d3+1 powerful magical/high tech upgrades or upgrade currently method of transportation can get 1d6+1 low to mid level magical/high tech upgrades.Warrior Santa ClausWarrior Santa Claus is a potent combat variant of Santa Claus, with a heavily muscular body, bald top of head, but with long white hair and beard, thick arms and legs rippling with muscles, covered in tattoos related to various warrior icons.

Creatures in the mind fog take a -10 competence penalty on Wisdom checks and Will saves. (A creature that successfully saves against the fog is not affected and need not make further saves even if it remains in the fog.) Affected creatures take the penalty as long as they remain in the fog and for 2d6 rounds thereafter. The fog is stationary and lasts for 30 minutes (or until dispersed by wind).A moderate wind (11+ mph) disperses the fog in four rounds; a strong wind (21+ mph) disperses the fog in 1 round. The fog is thin and does not significantly hamper vision.</blockquote>
