Racial Traits:
+2 Constitution, -2 Charisma:
·Medium-size: As Medium-size creatures, Khords have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
·Khordaldrum base speed is 20 feet.
·Darkvision: Khords can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and Khords can function just fine with no light at all.
·Stonecunning: Stonecunning grants Khords a +2 racial bonus on checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn't stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A Khord who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a check as if he were actively searching, and a Khord can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A Khord can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Khords have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.
·+2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison: Khords are hardy and resistant to toxins.
·+2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
·+1 racial bonus to attack rolls against orcs, crunaik, and goblinoids (goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears): Khords are trained in the special combat techniques that allow them to fight their common enemies more effectively.
·+4 dodge bonus against giants: This bonus represents special training that Khords undergo, during which they learn tricks that previous generations developed in their battles with giants. Note that any time a character loses his positive Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, such as when he's caught flat-footed, he loses his dodge bonus, too.
·+2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to rare or exotic items: Khords are familiar with valuable items of all kinds (especially those made of stone or metal).
·+2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal: Khords are especially capable with stonework and metalwork.
·Favored Class: Fighter. A multiclass Khord's fighter class does not count when determining whether he suffers an XP penalty for multiclassing. Khordaldrum culture extols the virtues of the warrior, and the vocation comes easily to Khords.

Chaos Magic: Any spell that a wild mage casts has a slight chance to release some of the wild mages potent magic, causing it to break through in an uncontrollable outburst. Each time the wild mage casts a spell he also rules a 1d20 surge die. If the die rolls a natural 20 then the result is a wild surge. To determine the results of a wild surge the DM rolls secretly on the Surge Chart that follows.

Random Deflector (Su): Once per day, Crellin can activate his random deflector as an immediate action, which lasts until the end of his next turn. The random deflector redirects ranged attacks, ranged touch attacks, and individually targeted spells (that is, spells designating Crellin as the sole target, but not area spells in which he happens to be the sole target) so that they instead attack or affect a random target within 20 feet of Crellin. Crellin himself, and his allies, are viable targets for this random selection of a new target. Any creature targeted by a deflected attack is attacked or affected normally, so an attack roll is made normally against the new target’s AC, the new target receives a saving throw if a spell or effect allows one, and so on.

Sneak Attack: If Crellin can catch an opponent when he is unable to defend himself effectively from his attack, he can strike a vital spot for extra damage. Crellin’s attacks deal an extra +1d6 damage whenever his opponent would be denied his Dexterity bonus to their AC, or he flanks the opponent. With weapons that deal non-lethal damage, this additional damage is also non-lethal. Any energy damage from touch spells or ranged touch spells made within 30 feet, that qualify as a sneak attack, this additional damage is of the same energy type. For example, if Crellin hits a flat-footed opponent with an acid splash, he would deal an additional +1d6 acid damage. However, a magic missile that hit a flat-footed opponent, would not gain a bonus +1d6 force damage, since there is no attack roll involved.

Summon Familiar: Crellin does not currently have a familiar. However, he could spend 100 gold pieces worth of special materials, and spend 24 hours to summon one, if he so desired.

Student of Chaos (Ex): Whenever Crellin uses a magic item that offers a randomly determined effect (such as a bag of tricks or rod of wonder), he can roll twice and choose between the two results. If a random roll is made only once to determine the nature or contents of a device (for example, a robe of useful items or an iron flask), Crellin gains no special advantage.
Trapfinding: Crellin can use the Search skill to locate traps when the task has a DC higher than 20 (not that he’s very good at it). See the rogue trapfinding class feature entry on pg. 50 of the Player’s Handbook.

Wild Magic: A wild mage casts spells differently from any other arcane spellcaster. Crellin reduces his caster level by 3 for all spells he casts. However, every time he casts a spell, his use of wild magic adds 1d6 to his adjusted caster level. Thus, Crellin has a base caster level of 4th, but his actual caster level varies from 5th level to 10th level for every spell he casts. Caster level affects all level-based variables of a spell, including spell penetration checks.
Wild Magic Skill: At 1st level, the wild mage gains a +2 bonus to Spellcraft checks regarding known wild magic effects (including, if a wizard, checks made to inscribe a wild spell into a spellbook)
Wild Magic Spells: A wild mage receives one bonus spell per caster level much like a specialist wizard. This spell must be memorized from a spell on the Wild Mage spell list.

Unless otherwise noted, all spells created by a wild surge occur at the designated target point and function normally (appropriate saving throws are allowed). The caster's true level (as opposed to variance based level) is used when calculating range, duration, area of effect, etc. of these spells. Remember, unless the wild surge specifies otherwise it is in addition and not a replacement to the original effect which is calculated as all other chaos spells are, i.e. variance dice and so on.

Reckless Dweomer
Target - special.
Duration - special.
Range - special.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S.
Saving Throw - special.
Spell Resistance - yes.
When Casting this spell, the Wild Mage unleashes the Wild Forces within themself and channel it into a spell, this is generally used as a last resort spell as it is entirely unpredictable. Before casting, the Mage must announce the spell effect of one of their known spells regardless of level, once announced, roll randomly on any Wild Surge table you have and this is what happens.
Attempted Enhancement
Target - special.
Duration - 1 round.
Range - special.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S,M.
Saving Throw - None.
Spell Resistance - No.
When Casting this spell, the Wild Mage can attempt to enhance one aspect of the next spell they cast. This second spell must be cast in the round immediately following the casting of Attempted Enhancement. The Wild Mage casts the spell and announces the aspect of the second spell they wish to enhance. The DM rolls a d6, 4-6 the effect is doubled, 1-3 the result is halved and a Wild Surge ensues.. Material component needed is exactly what is needed for the next spell to be cast.
Chaos Shield
Target - Caster.
Duration - 1d10 rounds + 2 rounds / level.
Range - Touch.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S.
Saving Throw - special.
Spell Resistance - No.
When Casting this spell, the Wild Mage protects themself from harmful effects of their own surges. When a caster surge's their spell but has Chaos Shield activated, the mage gets a saving throw dependant upon the effect. If successful, the mage is not affected by the spell, others in the area of effect might be though. The Chaos Shield protects the Mage from the good and bad effects of surges while the spell is on.

Surge Mastery
Target - special.
Duration - instantaneous.
Range - special.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S.
Saving Throw - None.
Spell Resistance - No.
This spell is similar to Reckless Dweomer, however, no spell is named before casting, the caster merely surge's the spell. The caster has a 33% chance of controlling one aspect of the surge once it happens. Eg, minimum or maximum parts of a spell (maximum damage if centered on target, minimum if on caster), or half or double the amount of something (two demons gate in to attack caster instead of four).

Improved Reckless Dweomer
As Reckless Dweomer but needs no components of either V,S.
Wildmine
Target - touched object.
Duration - permanent until triggered.
Range - touch.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S.
Saving Throw - None.
Spell Resistance - No.
Once cast upon an object, the next creature to touch it, even the caster, activates a Wild Surge. The creature is the target, the object is considered the caster.
Wild Armour
Target - caster.
Duration - 1d6 + 1 round / level..
Range - touch.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S,M.
Saving Throw - None.
Spell Resistance - No.
This spell causes the caster's body to radiate Wild magic. When damaged in melee by another, a Wild Surge is rolled. Ranged attacks will not cause a surge.
Unluck
Target - one creature.
Duration - 2d10 rounds.
Range - close.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S,M.
Saving Throw - Will Negates.
Spell Resistance - Yes.
This spell affects a creatures luck for the duration. Whenever the creature has to roll a result for anything, the creature must reroll the result and pick the worst of the two. Luckstones will negate this effect but will be rendered useless for 1d10 rounds after spell expires. The material component for the spell is a shard of a broken mirror.
Vortex
Target - one creature.
Duration - 1d4 rounds + 1 round / level.
Range - close.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S,M.
Saving Throw - Reflex for half damage.
Spell Resistance - Yes.
This spell creates a wild vortex that travels randomly through the battlefield. On the round of creation, the vortex appears in the desired place as a multicoloured tornado. From this moment on, the caster must maintain concentration in order for the vortex to remain. Each round, the vortex moves 30 feet randomly in a grenade like direction. 50% chance of caster moving it in the desired direction. The vortex is only 5 foot in diameter. Non magical creatures struck by the vortex suffer 1d4 points of damage per level of caster. Magical greatures and spellcasters suffer 1d6 damage per level of caster. Each time someone is struck by the vortex, there is a 5% chance the vortex explodes in a Wild Surge upon the creature. This will also cause the spell to end. Material components for this spell are a handful of straw and some silk streamers.
Wildshield
Target - caster.
Duration - special.
Range - touch.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S,M.
Saving Throw - None.

This spell gives the caster a magical shield that can absorb spell levels. It can absorb 2d6 spell levels worth of spells. It can be cancelled by the caster at any time. If the exact amount is met, the shield dissipates. If the shield is overloaded, then it surges affecting the caster. The Material component for this spell is a small sponge.
Wildstrike
Target - one creature.
Duration - 2d4 rounds.
Range - close.
Casting Time - 1 Action.
Components - V,S,M.

Description:
Niaou’li is a Khordaldrum woman. She’s a little insecure but is trying really hard to hide it. She possesses healing powers; that is why the people in her village have called her Niaou’li at birth, after the herb. She was raised by a very old woman who did not have any children of her own but who felt it was her destiny to raise Niaou’li. This woman knew everything there is to know about every herb, flower and plant in the nature surrounding Verbyn, the village where she is born, and she passed on her knowledge to Niaou’li. Because she was raised in the midst of nature, she is very anti-materialistic. She feels people who care only about money and possessions are lacking major qualities. When the old lady died, Niaou’li started wandering the lowlands, helping out those who needed to be healed.
When wandering the lowlands, Niaou’li found an ancient book. The full powers of this book are unknown to her, but she attempts to seek its mystery, and slowly she is unraveling what this book is about. Though she doesn’t fully understand why, she keeps it at her side at all times.
Niaou’li’s faithful friend is Firenze, a deer, who she rescued from the hands of trappers. Firenze has been with her for many years, as her companion and sometimes her form of transportation. Over the years they have developed a strong connection, and the deer follows Niaou’li into the heart of peril if need be.
As a Khordaldrum druid, Niaou’li is sometimes frowned upon. Some people, especially Sylvari, cannot understand that a Khord can be so close to nature. Even amongst her own kind there are those who would rather see her work the mines, cut the gems and care for the children. She has heard her calling though, and will not tolerate prejudice.

Racial features
·Darkvision: Khords can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and Khords can function just fine with no light at all.
·Stonecunning: Stonecunning grants Khords a +2 racial bonus on checks to notice unusual stonework, such as sliding walls, stonework traps, new construction (even when built to match the old), unsafe stone surfaces, shaky stone ceilings, and the like. Something that isn't stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A Khord who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a check as if he were actively searching, and a Khord can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can. A Khord can also intuit depth, sensing his approximate depth underground as naturally as a human can sense which way is up. Khords have a sixth sense about stonework, an innate ability that they get plenty of opportunity to practice and hone in their underground homes.
·+2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison: Khords are hardy and resistant to toxins.
·+2 racial bonus on saving throws against spells and spell-like effects.
·+1 racial bonus to attack rolls against orcs, crunaik, and goblinoids (goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears): Khords are trained in the special combat techniques that allow them to fight their common enemies more effectively.
·+4 dodge bonus against giants: This bonus represents special training that Khords undergo, during which they learn tricks that previous generations developed in their battles with giants. Note that any time a character loses his positive Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, such as when he's caught flat-footed, he loses his dodge bonus, too.
·+2 racial bonus on Appraise checks that are related to rare or exotic items: Khords are familiar with valuable items of all kinds (especially those made of stone or metal).
·+2 racial bonus on Craft checks that are related to stone or metal: Khords are especially capable with stonework and metalwork.

Backstory:
Arduin was born as the third child out of four. As such it fell to him to be the Military driven child in the family, a role he accepted with honor and truth be told glee. Glee at the prospect of defending his home and defending it’s secrets. The underworld holds many secrets perhaps more than the surface; held in the gems and moss and mushrooms and strange creatures and echoing tunnels and dark passages illuminated by those it permits. The underground breathes in a way that the surface world can only dream of. And unlike the surface world which is being raped and destroyed by the ‘enterprising races’ the underworld shifts and heals itself protecting its secrets from those unworthy. So Arduin believes for he has witnessed such wandering the tunnels both abandoned and new. In his youth while he wasn’t training with the Waraxe Arduin could be found contemplating the mysteries of the underworld while tending to his moss and mushroom farm in a small cave by his parents house. He still tends the grove now and again when he isn’t doing missions for his people. He first discovered the power to shift while daydreaming in his grove thinking how neat it would be to live life as a creature of the cave without worrying about the rules or his place in society. He first showed it to his commanding officers in a fight with a few gnolls that the Khords were sadly losing. They’d been ambushed at the end of examining whether the Khords should claim a tunnel that seemed to have a lucrative gold vein in it. The Khord party had five people in it; three soldiers a sapper and a priest. The party of gnolls had ten. The priest fell first with a soldier quickly following. The rest of the khord party made it to a tunnel entrance and settled in for a messy fight. A stalemate seemed to come about with the first three gnolls to test the khord defense falling fast. The Khords needed o make it to the other tunnel but if the moved from their position they would likely be taken out by the remaining seven gnolls. On the same hand any gnoll who tested the dwarves defense quickly fell. To end the stalemate Arduin changed into Gravorg and charged the gnolls. The sudden appearance of this fearsome predator gave Arduin and the others all the time they needed to counterattack. By the end the gnolls were dead and Arduin no longer fit into ordinary Khord society. There were no precedents or rules for a Khord who could change shape. Many of the Elders argued that Arduin was no longer a Khord but instead something else. Arduin didn’t care how the Elders found him as long as he could protect his caves and study the underworld. Eventually it was decided that here being no rules against a Khord shapeshifting that Arduin was a hero and unique. He was placed in a special position in the Khord’s military where he seemed to draw the short stick on many of the nastier missions and he often undertook these missions either with another group of elite Khords or alone. Either suited him as long as the job was done and his people and their caves were safe.

Guys, this Q/A is now open for business.

I know we haven't started yet, but I hope we will soon. We require two more characters, which I will need by the end of next week. Otherwise I'm going to look for additional players.

I am moving at the moment, going from one house to the next. Therefore I won't be able to be online much, or at least post or make characters etc...

Bear with me, this will start in a week or so.

I'm away from Tues, Aug 25 until Wed, Sept 2

Guys, I'm sorry for all the delay. I've been moving, and it has taken up a lot of my time. But, we'll be starting for sure by September 12th. I need another week to make Vesper's character, who hasn't had a lot of time to do so. Also, I'll be making another character for a new player.

Drakar has also been around. Hopefully he'll be able to join us after all.

Eol likey!

especially since I'm starting to feel much more like my old self in these past couple of weeks!

I'm ready to play whenever this thing gets it's life breathed back into it!

Guys, the opening post is up, so we are ready to go!

Have fun!

Btw, I made up some stuff that involves your characters. If anything that has been typed or said does not suit your character just blame it on the ale.
