The masters of the Yuirwood follow a loose meritocracy.
Those of lower level are obliged to listen to the wisdom of
those of higher level. The leader—never called “ruler”—of
their organization is the person who has the most levels as a
master of the Yuirwood.
Hit Die: d8.
REQUIREMENTS
To qualify to become a master of the Yuirwood, a character
must fulfill all the following criteria.
Race: Elf or half-elf.
Alignment: Any nonevil.
Skills: Knowledge (nature) 5 ranks, Survival 10 ranks.
Feats: Alertness, Track.
Special: The character must qualify to select regional feats
from Aglarond or the star elf region (the region is his home
region, or he has 2 ranks in Knowledge [local—Aglarond or
star elf]).
CLASS SKILLS
The master of the Yuirwood’s class skills (and the key ability
for each skill) are Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Handle
Animal (Cha), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge (nature)
(Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis),
Search (Int), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), and Survival (Wis).
See Chapter 4: Skills in the Player’s Handbook for skill
descriptions.
Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier.
CLASS FEATURES
All the following are features of the master of the Yuirwood
prestige class.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Masters of the Yuirwood
are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, with light
armor, and with shields.
Spells Per Day/Spells Known: At each master of the Yuirwood
level, the character gains new spells per day (and spells
known, if applicable) as if he had also gained a level in a spellcasting
class to which he belonged before adding the prestige
class level. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a
character of that class would have gained (improved chance
of turning or destroying undead, metamagic or item creation
feats, and so on). This essentially means that he adds the level
of master of the Yuirwood to the level of whatever spellcasting
class the character has, then determines spells per day
and caster level accordingly.
If the character had more than one spellcasting class before
becoming a master of the Yuirwood, the player must decide to
which class to add each master of the Yuirwood level for the
purpose of determining spells per day.
Work Menhir Circle (Su): Once per day per class level, the
master of the Yuirwood can activate the menhir circles scattered
PRESTIGE CLASSES
25
throughout the Yuirwood. These circles act as keyed portals (see
Chapter 2: Magic in the FORGOTTEN REALMS Campaign Setting),
transporting users to any other menhir circle in the Yuirwood
or to the star elf realm of Sildëyuir. The master of the
Yuirwood can choose which menhir circle he wishes to travel to.
Once activated, the portal remains open for 1 full round. During
this time, any creature touching one of the menhirs is transported
to the destination the master of the Yuirwood chose.
At 4th level, the master of the Yuirwood can use a Yuirwood
menhir circle portal to transport himself to any circle
of standing stones in any wooded region in Faerûn, regardless
of whether or not the destination stones are a portal terminus,
although he must have knowledge of the destination he is
trying to reach.
At 7th level, the character can use this ability to return to
a menhir circle in the Yuirwood from a circle of standing
stones in a wooded region anywhere in Faerûn, regardless of
whether the origination circle is a portal terminus or not. In
effect, the master can create a one-way portal that lasts 1
round from any suitable spot, as long as the destination is a
menhir circle in the Yuirwood.
At 10th level, the master of the Yuirwood can use a menhir
circle to transport to a ring of menhirs in any wooded region
in another world, although he must have knowledge of the destination
he is trying to reach. He can return to the Yuirwood
from a menhir circle in another world, regardless of whether
the origination circle is a portal terminus or not.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Beginning at 2nd level, a master of
the Yuirwood gains uncanny dodge as the rogue ability, retaining
his Dexterity bonus to AC even when flat-footed. At
5th level, he gains the improved uncanny dodge ability and
cannot be flanked except by a rogue of at least four levels
higher. If a master of the Yuirwood has another class that
grants the uncanny dodge ability, he gains improved uncanny
dodge instead.
Pass without Trace (Sp): At 3rd level, a master of the Yuirwood
can use pass without trace once per day, affecting up to
one creature per class level.
Speak with Animals (Sp): At 6th level, a master of the
Yuirwood can use speak with animals at will.
Forest’s Grace (Ex): At 9th level, a master of the Yuirwood
applies his Charisma modifier (if positive) as a bonus on all
saving throws.
Nar Demonbinder
Master of the black art of demon summoning, the Nar demonbinder
keeps alive the sinister traditions of the old
Empire of Narfell. More than a thousand years ago the sorcerous
land of Narfell grew mighty on the strength of its
unholy mages and cruel priest-lords. Although Narfell’s trafficking
with demons contributed to its eventual downfall, secrets
of the old Nar lore still draw unscrupulous spellcasters
who plunder the buried vaults of the long-vanished land in
search of knowledge and power, as well as more principled researchers
who pursue this forbidden lore to battle demons.
