It is the belief of your order that the precision and resilience of machines is a reflection of the divine. You also use your skills to demolish or disable diabolic devices and infernal engines that threaten life and liberty. Your skills are in high demand in mechanized warfare and you are highly regarded by your fellow technocrats. This paragon class is taken by paladins with an affinity for machines. Steam Warden Path Features Ordained Mechanic (11th Level): You can use your “lay on hands” ability to repair vehicles and machines rather than creatures. You may expend a healing surge with a bonus equal to your CHA modifier to heal a vehicle or mechanical object. You can not repair a device reduced to 0 hit points, since it is totally destroyed at that point.Man Versus Machine (11th Level): You can use your divine power to destroy or repair machines. When you are adjacent to any creature that you have marked with your "divine challenge" ability, it provokes an opportunity attack from you if it makes an attack that does not include you. Furthermore, your damage rolls against a construct or any mechanized vehicle that you challenge deals an extra 2d6 thundering damage. Steam Cannon Shield Proficiency (11th Level): You are proficient with the Steam Cannon Shield.Shield Wall (16th Level): You can provide the AC bonus and any additional benefits of your shield to any adjacent ally if a foe you have “marked” attacks an ally adjacent to you. Steam Warden Prayers Reboot Blow Steam Warden Attack 11You strike a massive blow that crashes into your foe and may result in briefly reprogramming a construct._______________________Encounter ✦ Divine, Charm, WeaponStandard Action MeleeTarget: one creatureAttack: Strength vs. AC_______________________Hit: 1[W] + STR modifier plus 'dazed' (save ends).Secondary Target: construct hit by the primary attackSecondary Attack: Charisma vs. Will (Only constructs)Secondary Effect: The construct will make a basic melee or ranged attack at a target of your choosing on its next turn. Steam Driven Steam Warden Utility 12Your divine patron consecrates you with a burst of sacred steam which steels you to your purpose._______________________Encounter ✦ Divine, FireImmediate Reaction PersonalTrigger: You become “bloodied”Target: Any creature_______________________Effect: If you become “bloodied” during an encounter you may release a burst of divine steam. You may make a CHA vs. Fortitude roll to inflict your CHA modifier as fire damage to all adjacent enemies and grant yourself partial concealment until the start of your next turn. Additionally, you are immune to “fear” effects for the rest of the encounter. Golden Spanner Steam Warden Attack 20You achieve a devastating blow which is even more damaging to mechanical enemies._______________________Daily ✦ Divine, Thunder, WeaponStandard Action MeleeTarget: One creatureAttack: Strength vs. Fortitude_______________________Hit: 4[W] + STR modifier and your target is "weakened" (save ends)Miss: 1[W] + STR modifier damage and your target is "weakened" (save ends)Special: If the target is a construct or mechanized vehicle you gain a +2 attack roll bonus and inflict an additional +2d10 thundering damage. NEW SKILL USEMechanical Insight: You can use your “Insight” skill to figure out how to operate an unknown machine (i.e. electrical, steam, or clockwork device) and repair one which has broken down. “Thievery” is still used to disable mechanical traps or sabotage machinery. NEW SUPERIOR WEAPONSteam Cannon Shield: This massive heavy shield has a shallow single shot cannon imbedded in the center of it. The cannon has minimal range and can not be reloaded during combat. This weapon relies on the strength of the user to aim this artillery piece properly (STR rather than INT). Only characters with a STR of 15 or higher can retain “heavy shield proficiency” when bearing a steam cannon shield. The steam cannon shield can either be enchanted as a ranged weapon or a defensive shield (not both).STEAM CANNON SHIELD (4lb ball): PROF +0, DAM 1d12, RNG 5/10, PRICE 150gp, WT 35lb, GROUP Artillery, PROPERTIES: Heavy Thrown, Load (Between Encounters).</blockquote>
