[GR] Preview Week, Day 2: Bow & Blade: A Guidebook to Wood Elves

[Pramas]

Preview week continues with a taste of Bow & Blade: A Guidebook to Wood Elves. The latest in our Races of Renown sereis, Bow & Blade was designed by the formidable team of current and former Dragon Magazine editors Chris Thomasson and Jesse Decker. Head on over to www.greenronin.com and check out the Speardancer prestige class. The book should ship from the printer within a week or so.

Looks cool.

Any chance you can fill us in on the IMPALE ability? It seems to be the only class feature left off.

Thanks

(Oh, and put one tick mark next to your sales goal for this product)

Sure! Here you are:

Impale (Ex): At 9th level, whenever the speardancer scores a successful critical hit with his spear, he has a chance to impale that opponent. After resolving damage normally, he and the opponent make opposed grapple checks. If the speardancer wins the grapple check, he impales the opponent, who is treated as grappled. He does not enter the opponent’s square and does not incur the normal penalties and restrictions of grappling, but if the speardancer moves more than 5 feet away (or 10 feet if using a longspear), the opponent is no longer impaled.

The speardancer can make an opposed grapple check to damage an impaled opponent as in a normal grapple, but he deals damage with his spear rather than an unarmed strike.

An impaled opponent can break free with a successful grapple check.
