Message: <blockquote data-quote="Garnfellow" data-source="post: 1414747" data-attributes="member: 1223">Prince Busirane's BodyguardAll of the Ruckish Princes employ specially trained guards that also serve as body doubles. These guards travel with the princes and live with them in their palaces. On the battlefield, these guards dress exactly like their assigned princes and are often indistinguishable from their masters to friend and foe alike. This is extremely hazardous duty, since a guard is frequently subject to enemy attacks and assassination attempts from disgruntled rucks—to say nothing of the wrath from an angered prince.Busirane is known to employ at least three of these doubles. The following guard was built using the survivor prestige class from Savage Species. Note that the improved evasion ability gained from survivor levels cannot be used while wearing chainmail.====Busirane’s Bodyguard: male ruck Expert 2/Warrior 4/Survivor 5; CR 10; HD 2d6+7 plus 4d8+8 plus 5d6+10; hp 79; Init +5; Spd 20 ft; AC 19, touch 12, flat-footed —; BAB +5; Grp +6; Atk +7 melee (2d4+2/18-20, +1 ruckblade-); Full Atk +7 melee (2d4+2/18-20, +1 ruckblade) or +7 ranged (1d6+1, javelin); SA poison; SQ improved uncanny dodge, DR 5/—, low-light vision; SV Fort +10, Ref +6, Will +9; Str 12, Dex 12, Con 14, Int 12, Wis 12, Cha 15.Skills and Feats: Bluff +10, Diplomacy +9, Disguise +17 (+19 when observed), Handle Animal +4, Intimidate +12, Listen +7, Ride +3, Sense Motive +9, Spot +7; Alertness, Improved Initiative, Skill Focus (Disguise), Toughness.Poison: Injury, Fort DC 14, initial damage 1d4 Str, secondary damage 1d4 Str.Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): The bodyguard retains his Dexterity bonus to AC even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker.
