Grip of Torment (Su): By the time the Tormentor reaches
7 th level, he is intimately familiar with the pain and nerve
centres in most humanoid bodies as well as those of far
more exotic and alien beasts. By making a successful
grapple attack on an enemy, the Tormentor can visit horrific
agony upon that enemy merely by touching a few pressure
points and straining a handful of joints. The target of the
grip of torment is afterward hampered in all his actions by
the waves of pain shooting through him, inflicting a –4
penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, ability checks,
skill checks and weapon damage rolls. This penalty lasts
for one round for each point of the Tormentor’s Wisdom
modifier (minimum one round).
Enervating Strike (Ex): Pain can make even the mightiest
foe helpless before the Tormentor. By making only a single
attack for the round and accepting a penalty of –2 on his
attack roll, the Tormentor may attempt an Enervating Strike
against his enemy. If the attack is successful, the target of
the attack may make a Fortitude saving throw (DC 10 + total
damage dealt). If the saving throw is successful, the target
merely takes the damage inflicted by the Tormentor’s attack
and combat continues. If the saving throw fails, however,
the target is overcome by searing pain from the Tormentor’s
perfectly placed attack. This pain is so intense the target
is rendered unable to fight for a duration of one round per
point of the Tormentor’s Wisdom modifier (minimum one
round). The target is not considered helpless, and thus is not
subject to coup de grace attempts, but he is unable to attack
or engage in any other action requiring concentration.
Voice of Pain (Sp): This ability is identical to the power
word pain spell (see page 198). The Tormentor may use this
ability once per day. For the purposes of determining caster
level, it is considered to be the sum of all the Tormentor’s
spellcasting class levels.
The Trickster of Kez’Skul
Trickster of Kez’Skul
Rarely trustworthy and usually deceitful, the Trickster of
Kez’Skul seeks always to embody the most desired traits
of his god.
The Trickster prefers to avoid combat where he can or better
yet leaves combat up to unwilling or unwitting proxies, but
he is capable of defending himself. He would rather defeat
his enemies through lies and innuendo however, and views
true victory over a foe as tricking that foe into spelling his
own doom.
The Trickster is an expert at the Game of Bones, and is often
sought out by Noble Houses to act as their lieutenant in the
constant cut and thrust of the Sheathed War. The Trickster
sees this as the truest test of his abilities, and indeed spends
much of his time playing at the Game of Bones, often taking
on multiple clients without their knowledge and playing
both sides against each other to ensure his own personal
goals are met.
The most common character class to take up the path of the
Trickster is, unsurprisingly, the rogue although it is open to
any character who can meet the requirements.
