Spells per Day (2/1) (Paladin spell list, DC 13+spell level)
Commonly Chosen Spell: Divine Sacrifice1, Protection from Evil & Resist Energy
Languages: Common, Dwarven, Ugruu, Terran.
Equipment:
Bastion of Hope: This dwarvencraft mithril mechanus gear was discovered by Glangim in the lost dwarven city of Aengkir. Engraved with countless gears and runic symbols. Originally crafted by a gnome cleric and a dwarf smith almost ten thousand years ago, it provides its wearer with unsurpassed physical protection as well as protecting him from death magic and effects, energy drain and negative energy. It is also designed to transport itself onto the proper wearer when the correct command word is spoken, seeming to turn into a cloud of gears which reform around the wearer. (Dwarvencraft2 +5 Mithril Mechanus Gear4, Soulfire5, Called9 110750gp)
Stone Bulwark: This dwarvencraft adamantine heavy shield was given to Glangim by the Hammers of Moradin for protecting the hold in time of dire need during an attack by Illithids. It is an inch thick of adamantine which provides unparalleled physical protection, it also seemingly maneuvering itself to intercept the most damaging of blows which would strike vital areas. Across the front of the shield is emblazoned the hammer and anvil that is Moradins holy symbol. (Dwarvencraft2 +2 Adamantine Heavy Shield, Heavy Fortification 52020gp)
Moradins Resolve: This dwarvencraft adamantine warhammer is darker than wrought-iron and is engraved with silver-blue runes which spiral across its surface. Its head is perfectly balanced and the blows it delivers are most potent. Glangim received this in honor of his return from the ancient city by the dwarven smiths of his collective people. (Dwarvencraft2 +4 Adamantine Warhammer, Collision6, Sure Striking3, Ghost Touch, 131012gp)
Heart of Moradin: This amulet was recovered from the den of a deep dragon which plagued the svirfneblin city of Spatzerclif. Glangim along with his stout dwarven companions purged the creature from the depths and Glangim claimed this simple looking amulet as his own. It is a simple disc of dark stone which is nearly indestructible engraved with the hammer and anvil of Moradin on one side with dethek runes of health and fortitude circling it?s smooth outer edge, embedded in the center on the opposite side is a soft red ruby which flickers with the iridescence of the forge. Heat waves seem to waft off of it and an almost inaudible sound of bellows heaving in and out can be heard when held close to the ear. It provides a +6 enhancement bonus to his Constitution score and encompasses Glangim in a continually fresh supply of oxygen allowing him to breathe in any environment as well as protecting him from noxious gases, inhaled poison and the like. (Adaptation & Health +6, 49500gp)
Guiding Bracers: A pair of mithril bracers etched with runes of insight, they seem to guide their wearers movements to anticipate their opponents movements and better avoid and deflect their attacks. Additionally, they were blessed by Moradin himself granting some of his sacred protection to the wearer. (bracers, +2 sacred bonus to AC, +2 insight bonus to AC, 25000gp)
Touch of the Hearth: These are mithril chain gauntlets are covered on the backside with adamantine plates etched with a hearth, it?s flames reaching up the fingers. Originally thought to have been in the possession of a cleric or paladin, they were discovered in the depths of the ancient dwarven city of Aengkir. They allow the wearer to use the heal spell once per day as a standard action. (gauntlets, Heal 1/day (150hp), 32500gp)
Forgemantle: A gift from the All-Father himself to Glangim, this heavy cloak of some unknown black material turns into a mantle of glowing star-like embers and waves of reddish heat when activated. Once per week Glangim can activate a starmantle spell upon himself which lasts for 11 minutes. When activated any nonmagical weapon or missile which strikes Glangim while he wears the Forgemantle is transformed into a harmless burst of embers and heat, destroying it. Magical weapons and missiles are not destroyed by the cloak, but Glangim is allowed a Reflex save, DC 15, to take half damage from the attack. The Forgemantle also provides Glangim with greater resistance against other forms of attack, granting a +5 resistance bonus to his saves. Additionally, the mantle enhances Glangim?s presence providing a +4 enhancement bonus to his Charisma score. (Starmantle5 1/week, Resistance +5, +4 Charisma, 60400gp)
Belt of Mountains: Discovered in the possession of a fire giant upon the surface, Glangim took this belt from the creature when his adventuring party defeated it. It is a thick belt of heavy leather with a stone buckle. The belt protects the wearer against the elements, allowing him to function in hot or cold climes unimpeded by natural weather, as per the endure elements spell. It also allows the wearer to grow in size up to three times per day for up to a minute at a time as per the enlarge spell. It additionally provides the wearer the strength and resilience of a mountain, granting a +6 enhancement bonus to his Strength score and a +4 enhancement bonus to natural armor. (Giant Strength +6, +4 natural armor, endure elements, enlarge 3/day, 63120gp)
Rising Stones: Glangim found these boots, a skeleton still mired in them, floating in the middle of a hallway in a duergar keep which had been abandoned for some time due to the threat of a deep dragon. They are made of heavy leather and reinforced with steel but are surprisingly light as a feather. Glangim can move on any solid surface by imagining ?down? as any direction. He can carry another living being, and so long as he does not let go of the second character that character?s gravity is the same as his. However, as soon as he releases the person normal gravity takes over. Technically, Glangim can fly by choosing a solid surface or direction as ?down? and letting himself fall through the air in that direction. Glangim ?flying? in this fashion moves at 60 feet per round. He can turn once per round thereafter by choosing a new ?down? and falling in that direction. A falling character loses all ?downward? momentum when he redefines his gravity. Additionally, these boots make it impossible for anyone to bullrush or trip Glangim, and so long as Glangim is carrying a medium sized melee weapon, he also counts as being set against a charge. This does not have to be a reach weapon. (Boots of Gravity4 + Steadfast8, 59400gp)
Echoing Stones: This helm is made of adamantine, it?s faceplate is worked to resemble a stoic dwarven face and the entire helm is enameled to appear as if it was made out of smooth white marble veined with gold and silver. It was discovered in the ancient city of Aengkir by one of Glangim?s companions who gave it to him as a gift for his one hundredth birthday. The helm provides him with some of the wisdom of the earth as well as other powers, granting a +2 enhancement bonus to Wisdom. This helm conducts sound and other senses through an uncanny magic which allows Glangim to discern all which surrounds him within thirty feet making it incredibly hard to surprise him, this is in all effect identical to blindsight with a thirty foot radius. He may invoke the effects of a see invisibility spell for up to 30 minutes per day. (helm, +2 wisdom, continuous blindsight3 spell, see invisibility (30 min.), 35400gp)
Derrick?s Blessing: This ring is made for the fingers of a dwarf, crafted of polished white granite, it is flecked with purple. Probably made by Derrick, a cleric of Moradin, it was he who gave the ring to Glangim when he first left his home to travel to the city Great Spire. It protects Glangim, providing a +2 deflection bonus to his armor class, as well as sustaining his mind and body without food or water and little sleep. (Ring Protection +4 & Sustenance, 35750gp)
Tools of the Smith: This fine set of craftsman?s tools were given to Glangim for his exceptional talent of craftsmanship for a dwarven waraxe delivered as a gift to the King of one of the dwarven cities. It provides a +5 competence bonus to his craft (weaponsmithing) skill. (+5 to craft (weaponsmithing), 2500gp)

Personality:
Background: Born to the last surviving member of an ancient clan in the forgotten reaches of the Underdark, his mother passed shortly after from malnutrition and exhaustion. Her time having long been past. Alone in the wilds, the newborn would have died quickly in the harsh darkness if not for a kindhearted contingent of deep gnomes who took pity upon the child. Upon returning to their city they quickly sought out a dwarf community and one gnome traveled the long journey with the child. After much hardship he arrived at the dwarven city, placing the newborn in the care of an orphanage he shrugged off the thanks for returning one of their own and returned to his people.
Raised in the orphanage, he was without name or clan, others called him Glanten, the lost child. As he grew, he felt apart from his kin, unable to participate in the many clan rites and rituals, but also greatly indebted to the sense of community they shared with him despite his clanless heritage. He received the common training that all young dwarves receive, at the forge, in the mines, in the militia. He found some relief in the scouting missions of the militia, feeling happy to be a part of his community and protecting it, but also able to get away from the reminders of his clanlessness. At the age of forty-two he was on a scouting mission into an unexplored section of caves which were rumored to possess rich veins of iron ore. It went well until an unexpected cave-in separated him from his scouting party. Unable to go back the way he had come, he pressed forward, hoping for the cave system to carry him back around. However it lead only deeper into the unknown. For two months Glanten, as he had then started referring to himself, lived alone in the depths of the Underdark. This isolation released within him the fury of the earth.
He was reputedly killed in the cave-in. The dwarves of his community had only just then completely uncovered the massive cave-in which had taken many of the lives of the scouting party. However they did not discover Glanten's body, and rumors of a dwarf living in the wilds to the east were suddenly taken very seriously. Sending out new scouting parties to find this lone dwarf, they happened upon Glanten as he was on the hunt. Glanten having had no contact with any dwarves or friendly humanoids since his departure from the cave-in rejoiced to be found by his community.
Returning to his community Glanten took up a post within the militia, focusing his training, he was soon approached to become a first line of defense for the community. A position as a deepwarden was offered to him, and he gladly took up the calling of his people. He became a defender on the outskirts of the community, his incredibly physical resilience tuned to his defense.
During one of his walkabouts in the Underdark he stumbled upon, actually fell through the ceiling of, an ancient temple. Knocked unconscious from the long fall, he awoke staring into up into tall arches of stone presiding over him. Apparently undisturbed for millennia, the temple rose around him and he dusted himself off from the fall. A gleaming forge of ancient stone flared into life before him illuminating beautiful but subtle carvings on the walls, and the holy symbol of the All-Father spread out beneath his feet. Approaching the forge in slow reverence, he reached out and laid his hand upon its stone. It was surprisingly cool to the touch yet the heat from the forge flushed his face and his head swam dizzily. Feeling waves of emotions, pride, rage, humility, love and more lap against the edge of his consciousness, his mind was flooded with images, stories, tales of the ancient dwarves, tales of an ancient clan which would bring his people as a whole together again, tales of an ancient dwarven city lost in the greatest depths which had once been the greatness of the dwarven people. All of these things crashed upon his mind and then the ringing of a great hammer upon the forge rang out, resounding through his soul. He felt something greater tugging at his heart, something which he must leave his home to do.
Returning to his community he took counsel with Derrick, one of the elder clerics of Moradin who had helped raise him in the orphanage. Derrick heard him out, finding the story grow deeper as Glanten recounted the images and tales he had been awash in. They rang true as some of the most ancient and forgotten legends. Sliding a ring of thick polished granite off of one his fingers, Derrick placed it in Glanten's hand and bade him farewell, telling him that he would take care of any arrangements that would need to be made on his departure.
Glanten took only as much as he needed, finding that the ring he had been given let him go without food or water. He headed to the surface to a city called Great Spire, where Derrick had told him of a massive library headed by a great sage who would be able to help him in his search for the ancient city of the dwarves. Along his travel to Great Spire he soon found himself with a group of adventurers who all had their own reasons for seeking out the great sage. Over the next fifteen years Glanten traveled with this company of adventurers, they carried each other through thick and thin, however many of them were of the younger races, humans and halflings, many of them grew older while Glanten remained in the prime of his youth. Glanten gained more and more knowledge of the lost city but had never been able to discover more than dead ends in his many years on the surface.
When Glanten neared his fifty-seventh year the adventuring company disbanded, many of the members settling down. Glanten set off once again for his homeland, this time bringing with him the knowledge of his travels. Upon his return they welcomed him back whole-heartedly, hearing his stories echo through the meadhalls to the thrum of skalds. However, he still felt that in the halls that he once called home, that something was missing. He sought out Derrick once again, this time he was advised to seek out the company of the Hammers of Moradin for purpose. Taking up his warhammer and his shield once again, he set off for their training halls and petitioned for entrance. Seeing his devotion to the All-Father, they accepted him. For two years he trained devotedly within their halls and became a full-fledged member.
->must somehow gain a bit of psionic power (probably the Illithid attack triggers it)
->discover the ancient city of his people
->divine correspondance with Moradin
->must discover his true name (Glangim)
->must meet up with Ashy's persona (Ata)
->having just turned one century old rumors are being spread that he may become the next High King, he isn't so keen on this idea himself but does not voice it to all but his closest of comrades

Other Notes:
Dwarvencraft Items Cost an additional 600gp for a weapon or 300gp for armor and shields. Increases hardness by 2, hit points by 10 and the items receive a +2 bonus to all saving throws.
Extra Rage provides 2 extra rages per day.
Heavy Armor Optimization and Greater Heavy Armor Optimization increase the armor bonus of worn heavy armor by 1 each, they stack on each other, and they reduce the armor check penalty first by 1, and then by another 2.
Wild Talent grants the character 2 power points and allows him to select psionic feats. It grants him no manifesting ability.
Deflective Armor is a psionic feat, when focused he adds his armor bonus (enhancement bonus included) to his touch armor class. It has heavy armor optimization as a pre-req.
True Believer allows the character to add a +3 bonus to one saving throw per day and qualifies him for using relics of his deity as well as for the pious templar PrC.
Divine Sacrifice when cast allows the character to sacrifice up to 10 hit points per round as a free action to deal +1d6 damage per two hit points, max +5d6, sacrificed on his next successful attack. It lasts for 1 round per caster level (for a total of 3 in Glangim's case). Thus if he uses it for 3 rounds, he could sacrifice up to 30 hit points, so long as he successfully hits each round, each of those hits dealing +5d6 additional damage. As normal bonus damage dice are not multiplied by a critical hit.

Additionally, these boots make it impossible for anyone to bullrush or trip Glangim, and so long as Glangim is carrying a medium sized melee weapon, he also counts as being set against a charge. This does not have to be a reach weapon. (Boots of Gravity4 + Steadfast8, 59400gp)
Echoing Stones: This helm is made of adamantine, it?s faceplate is worked to resemble a stoic dwarven face and the entire helm is enameled to appear as if it was made out of smooth white marble veined with gold and silver. It was discovered in the ancient city of Aengkir by one of Glangim?s companions who gave it to him as a gift for his one hundredth birthday. The helm provides him with some of the wisdom of the earth as well as other powers, granting a +2 enhancement bonus to Wisdom. This helm conducts sound and other senses through an uncanny magic which allows Glangim to discern all which surrounds him within thirty feet making it incredibly hard to surprise him, this is in all effect identical to blindsight with a thirty foot radius. He may invoke the effects of a see invisibility spell for up to 30 minutes per day. (helm, +2 wisdom, continuous blindsight3 spell, see invisibility (30 min.), 35400gp)
Derrick?s Blessing: This ring is made for the fingers of a dwarf, crafted of polished white granite, it is flecked with purple. Probably made by Derrick, a cleric of Moradin, it was he who gave the ring to Glangim when he first left his home to travel to the city Great Spire. It protects Glangim, providing a +2 deflection bonus to his armor class, as well as sustaining his mind and body without food or water and little sleep. (Ring Protection +4 & Sustenance, 35750gp)
Tools of the Smith: This fine set of craftsman?s tools were given to Glangim for his exceptional talent of craftsmanship for a dwarven waraxe delivered as a gift to the King of one of the dwarven cities. It provides a +5 competence bonus to his craft (weaponsmithing) skill. (+5 to craft (weaponsmithing), 2500gp)

Appearance:
Personality:
Background: Born to the last surviving member of an ancient clan in the forgotten reaches of the Underdark, his mother passed shortly after from malnutrition and exhaustion. Her time having long been past. Alone in the wilds, the newborn would have died quickly in the harsh darkness if not for a kindhearted contingent of deep gnomes who took pity upon the child. Upon returning to their city they quickly sought out a dwarf community and one gnome traveled the long journey with the child. After much hardship he arrived at the dwarven city, placing the newborn in the care of an orphanage he shrugged off the thanks for returning one of their own and returned to his people.
Raised in the orphanage, he was without name or clan, others called him Glanten, the lost child. As he grew, he felt apart from his kin, unable to participate in the many clan rites and rituals, but also greatly indebted to the sense of community they shared with him despite his clanless heritage. He received the common training that all young dwarves receive, at the forge, in the mines, in the militia. He found some relief in the scouting missions of the militia, feeling happy to be a part of his community and protecting it, but also able to get away from the reminders of his clanlessness. At the age of forty-two he was on a scouting mission into an unexplored section of caves which were rumored to possess rich veins of iron ore. It went well until an unexpected cave-in separated him from his scouting party. Unable to go back the way he had come, he pressed forward, hoping for the cave system to carry him back around. However it lead only deeper into the unknown. For two months Glanten, as he had then started referring to himself, lived alone in the depths of the Underdark. This isolation released within him the fury of the earth.
He was reputedly killed in the cave-in. The dwarves of his community had only just then completely uncovered the massive cave-in which had taken many of the lives of the scouting party. However they did not discover Glanten's body, and rumors of a dwarf living in the wilds to the east were suddenly taken very seriously. Sending out new scouting parties to find this lone dwarf, they happened upon Glanten as he was on the hunt. Glanten having had no contact with any dwarves or friendly humanoids since his departure from the cave-in rejoiced to be found by his community.
Returning to his community Glanten took up a post within the militia, focusing his training, he was soon approached to become a first line of defense for the community. A position as a deepwarden was offered to him, and he gladly took up the calling of his people. He became a defender on the outskirts of the community, his incredibly physical resilience tuned to his defense.
During one of his walkabouts in the Underdark he stumbled upon, actually fell through the ceiling of, an ancient temple. Knocked unconscious from the long fall, he awoke staring into up into tall arches of stone presiding over him. Apparently undisturbed for millennia, the temple rose around him and he dusted himself off from the fall. A gleaming forge of ancient stone flared into life before him illuminating beautiful but subtle carvings on the walls, and the holy symbol of the All-Father spread out beneath his feet. Approaching the forge in slow reverence, he reached out and laid his hand upon its stone. It was surprisingly cool to the touch yet the heat from the forge flushed his face and his head swam dizzily. Feeling waves of emotions, pride, rage, humility, love and more lap against the edge of his consciousness, his mind was flooded with images, stories, tales of the ancient dwarves, tales of an ancient clan which would bring his people as a whole together again, tales of an ancient dwarven city lost in the greatest depths which had once been the greatness of the dwarven people. All of these things crashed upon his mind and then the ringing of a great hammer upon the forge rang out, resounding through his soul. He felt something greater tugging at his heart, something which he must leave his home to do.
Returning to his community he took counsel with Derrick, one of the elder clerics of Moradin who had helped raise him in the orphanage. Derrick heard him out, finding the story grow deeper as Glanten recounted the images and tales he had been awash in. They rang true as some of the most ancient and forgotten legends. Sliding a ring of thick polished granite off of one his fingers, Derrick placed it in Glanten's hand and bade him farewell, telling him that he would take care of any arrangements that would need to be made on his departure.
Glanten took only as much as he needed, finding that the ring he had been given let him go without food or water. He headed to the surface to a city called Great Spire, where Derrick had told him of a massive library headed by a great sage who would be able to help him in his search for the ancient city of the dwarves. Along his travel to Great Spire he soon found himself with a group of adventurers who all had their own reasons for seeking out the great sage. Over the next fifteen years Glanten traveled with this company of adventurers, they carried each other through thick and thin, however many of them were of the younger races, humans and halflings, many of them grew older while Glanten remained in the prime of his youth. Glanten gained more and more knowledge of the lost city but had never been able to discover more than dead ends in his many years on the surface.
When Glanten neared his fifty-seventh year the adventuring company disbanded, many of the members settling down. Glanten set off once again for his homeland, this time bringing with him the knowledge of his travels. Upon his return they welcomed him back whole-heartedly, hearing his stories echo through the meadhalls to the thrum of skalds. However, he still felt that in the halls that he once called home, that something was missing. He sought out Derrick once again, this time he was advised to seek out the company of the Hammers of Moradin for purpose. Taking up his warhammer and his shield once again, he set off for their training halls and petitioned for entrance. Seeing his devotion to the All-Father, they accepted him. For two years he trained devotedly within their halls and became a full-fledged member.
->must somehow gain a bit of psionic power (probably the Illithid attack triggers it)
->discover the ancient city of his people
->divine correspondance with Moradin
->must discover his true name (Glangim)
->must meet up with Ashy's persona (Ata)
->having just turned one century old rumors are being spread that he may become the next High King, he isn't so keen on this idea himself but does not voice it to all but his closest of comrades

Other Notes:
Dwarvencraft Items Cost an additional 600gp for a weapon or 300gp for armor and shields. Increases hardness by 2, hit points by 10 and the items receive a +2 bonus to all saving throws.
Extra Rage provides 2 extra rages per day.
Heavy Armor Optimization and Greater Heavy Armor Optimization increase the armor bonus of worn heavy armor by 1 each, they stack on each other, and they reduce the armor check penalty first by 1, and then by another 2.
Wild Talent grants the character 2 power points and allows him to select psionic feats. It grants him no manifesting ability.
Deflective Armor is a psionic feat, when focused he adds his armor bonus (enhancement bonus included) to his touch armor class. It has heavy armor optimization as a pre-req.
True Believer allows the character to add a +3 bonus to one saving throw per day and qualifies him for using relics of his deity as well as for the pious templar PrC.
Divine Sacrifice when cast allows the character to sacrifice up to 10 hit points per round as a free action to deal +1d6 damage per two hit points, max +5d6, sacrificed on his next successful attack. It lasts for 1 round per caster level (for a total of 3 in Glangim's case). Thus if he uses it for 3 rounds, he could sacrifice up to 30 hit points, so long as he successfully hits each round, each of those hits dealing +5d6 additional damage. As normal bonus damage dice are not multiplied by a critical hit.

Ferrix, interesting character. I am glad Wrahn has to deal with him. 
Does the Deep Warden's ability to replace CON with DEX for AC allow him to circumvent DEX maxima for Armor? Or does something else allow the full +10 CON modifier?
I don't think the Damage Reduction from Pious Templar and Hammer of Moradin stack. Most abilities like that overlap, meaning you get the best one in a given circumstance; in this case, the 6/- always wins out. But I could not find an official ruling on that matter.
Just giving my 2 cp worth...
Still waiting for the others to drop out, to introduce my near-epic commoner...

I know DR of different types overlaps, but this is the same type of DR, didn't know if stacked at all, so I used my only reference which was the Roll With It feat from SS which stacks with other DR. Not that important though.
The deep warden's Con is supposedly free of the maximum Dex bonus that armor restricts. It's been brought up a couple times on WotC boards and that's how the ruling generally fell.
Ferrix said:
Okay first you don't qualify as a Hammer of Moradin (you can't cast 2nd level divine spells)
Second, I disagree with what they are saying on the WotC boards, when using Con in place of Dex you still limited by the maximum bonus you can apply to your armor class (be it Dex or Con).
Third, the cost of the starmantle cloak is wrong, it should be 2,660,000gp ((11*6*2,000*2 + 2,000)*10)
I will not allow the retributive amulet effect.
I am changing sure strike to -5 to DR
I am changing Collision. There are (now) five levels of Collision. Collision I adds 2 pts of damage for +1, Collision II adds 4 points of damage for +2, Collision III adds 6 points of damage for +3, Collision IV adds 8 points of damage for +4 and Collision V adds 10 points of damage for +5
Your gauntlets cost 32,500 (15*6*1,800/5)
Your Belt costs 55,120 (36,000 + (2^2*2,500*1.5) + (1*1*2,000/2*1.5) + (1*1*1,800*3/5*1.5))
I think the 7/- DR is fine though.
I have not had a chance to completely go over your character yet (3 demerits for giving the DM headaches
), this is just the stuff from last night I had a chance to glance at. More soon.Happy Funball

It took me a second to figure this one out. I think that's because Pious Templar 3 gives you "0" 2nd level spells. With a WIS of only 12, you don't get a bonus 2nd lvl spell, and thus cannot technically cast 2nd level spells. That's assuming I remember the table correctly.Wrahn said:
Because it is over 200,000 gp its an epic item? I think its easier just to ban for being way too powerful (what was WOTC thinking?), but this is just as good.Wrahn said:
BAH! What would you know?Wrahn said:
<sniff> This brings a tear to my eye, Wrahn. You make me proud!Wrahn said:I have not had a chance to completely go over your character yet (3 demerits for giving the DM headaches
Yes, its an inside joke...
