Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shade" data-source="post: 5179585" data-attributes="member: 287">Based on what I could find via Google, it looks like Rowan was actually a "royal scout" of Cormyr, which is actually a prestige class from Dragon #307 with different powers.   At 5th level (in the 5-level prestige class), he'd get evasion, improved uncanny dodge, and the following unique powers...Reliable Messenger (Ex):Royal scouts are the Crown's swiftest and most dependable messengers. This ability grants the Royal Scout a +2 bonus on all Innuendo and Ride checks.Pride of Purpose (Ex):The Royal Scouts are so committed to Cormyr that at 2nd level they gain a +2 bonus on Will saves against fear (magical or otherwise) and other mind-affecting spells and effects.Forester (Ex):Royal scouts are constantly afield, patrolling Cormyr's frontier and learning the ways of the land. This ability grants the royal scout a +2 bonus on all Heal and Wilderness Lore checks.Voices of the Wolf Woods (Su):In days of yore, when Cormyr was still in the mighty talons of dragons and the delicate hands of elves, the great forest that covered the Forest Country was known as the Wolf Woods. Although the dragons and elves are mostly gone from the land, they have left their mark on the land they loved.At 5th level, a royal scout of Cormyr, having traveled the breadth of Cormyr, has become attuned to some of the place magic of Cormyr and gains the power to detect evil (as the spell) at will. In addition, the scout gains the power to sense evil that enters the Forest Kingdom's borders (not those already within its borders). This power detects evil outsiders of at least CR 5, evil elementals and undead of at least CR 10, and other evil beings of at least CR 15 who plan to do harm to the land or people of Cormyr. The power does not give the scout the exact location of the evil, but with successful Intuit Direction checks (DC 15), the scout can make his way toward the creature or creatures, whereupon he gains a +10 insight bonus on all Wilderness Lore checks to track the evil down. Also, Rowan supposedly gained "powers of the storm" upon becoming a ghazneth.</blockquote>
