[b][color=6ecff6]Day To Day Attire:[/color][/b] Loincloth and poncho. [b][color=6ecff6]Strengths:[/color][/b] Inhuman Strength, Scent tracking, Rage [b][color=6ecff6]Weaknesses:[/color][/b] Dumb as a dog, ugly as sin, easily provoked [hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=6ecff6][center]Psychological Attributes[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [i][color=6ecff6][center]Hypnotic susceptibility * Aggressiveness * Compliance * Risk taking[/center][/color][/i] [b][color=6ecff6]Sexuality:[/color][/b] Pansexual [b][color=6ecff6]Relationship Status:[/color][/b] Single [b][color=6ecff6]Personality:[/color][/b] It is easy to say he is retarded and write him off, many do. But truly between the simplemindedness of a child or a dog are the greatest qualities ever sought by any other. He gives without thinking and acts with no regard for his own safety. He believes himself invincible only because he hasn't died yet. He remembers those lost to him, he treasures animals almost above people. He will do almost anything asked of him without hesitation. But for all of this childlike innocence with utter canine loyalty is the temper tantrums with the strength of a giant and the ferocity of Feral rage unleashed. He is still the barbarian and the animal all claim him to be by the way he eats and bullies his way upon others when he can tell they are 'in season'. [b][color=6ecff6]Habits:[/color][/b] Sniffing others and licking hands to greet, rubbing things on himself for scent and texture. [b][color=6ecff6]Hobbies:[/color][/b] Foraging [b][color=6ecff6]Fears:[/color][/b] Not a fear, but a rage trigger for him are gnolls, those that killed his pack. He fears dragons. Not because of their common fear power, but the fact that he has seen its breath weapon melt a man to death over several moments of screaming. Truly, he fears being alone. He has always had someone else to guide him and keep him by their side. But without a packmate he will sycophantly cling to the nearest person simply to not be alone. [b][color=6ecff6]Likes:[/color][/b] food, warm, friends, dogs/wolves, anything new, Dwarfs [b][color=6ecff6]Dislikes:[/color][/b] sleeping on stone, cold/snow, Hyenas, Scale-folk, underground, Hellhound meat. [hr][hr][h3][b][i][color=6ecff6][center]Skills[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h3] [list] [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Darkvision/infravision:[/color][/b] able to see at night/in the dark for 60 feet [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Climbing:[/color][/b] up the wall, up the tree, up the giant. (95% success) [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Back detection:[/color][/b] Savage instincts to foul attacks from behind. (40% chance of detecting an attack from behind, made by any character or creature. If the barbarian successfully detects the attack, he avoids it. Additionally, the barbarian is entitled to counter-attack the attacker immediately, even if the barbarian already attacked that turn. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Leaping(forward) and springing(up):[/color][/b] Running Leap: 3d6+6 Ft. Running Spring: ld6+3 Ft. Standing Leap: 2d4+3 Ft. Standing Spring: ld4+3 Ft. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Wild Brawl:[/color][/b] When fighting without weapons, the Brute can propel himself into a berserk frenzy. Bites, punches and kicks are all directed at a single opponent. A single attack roll is used to determine if these attacks finds their mark. Damage is ld6. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Enhanced Sense of Smell:[/color][/b] A Brute can trail a human, animal, or demi-human by scent, presuming the quarry made the trail within the previous 24 hours. The Brute must be familiar with the quarry, or must have a sample of the scent (a scrap of hide, a lock of hair, a piece of clothing). A Brute has the same chance to follow the trail as if he had the tracking proficiency. Use the Brute’s Wisdom score to make tracking checks. If the Brute has the tracking proficiency, he receives a +2 bonus to his checks. A Brute can also identify a particular character or creature by its lingering aroma, presuming the character or creature was in the area within the past 24 hours. The Brute must be familiar with the creature or have a sample of the scent. The Brute identifies the scent with a successful Wisdom check. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Surprise Bonus: [/color][/b]Because of the Brute's sharp senses, he receives a +2 bonus to his surprise rolls. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Weapon specialization:[/color][/b] Great club, (+1 hit +2 damage) [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Weapon proficiency:[/color][/b] Dagger, Throwing Axe, Battle axe, Spear, Net [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Armor proficiency:[/color][/b] Padded, Leather [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Stealth: [/color][/b] The Feralan receives a +10% chance to hide in natural surroundings and a +10% chance to move silently. These total to 20% hide and 25% move silently [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Feral Rage:[/color][/b] During melee combat, the initial wounding of an opponent may impel the Feralan into a frenzy of blood lust, increasing his fighting effectiveness. A Feralan can make one attempt to become enraged at any particular opponent. After the first round in which a Feralan inflicts damage on an opponent, the Feralan has the option of making a saving throw vs. death magic. If the roll succeeds, the Feralan goes into a feral rage for the next 2d6 rounds. During that time, the rage gives the Feralan a +2 bonus to all attack and damage rolls, and his base Armor Class improves by 2 (an unarmored Feralan's AC is temporarily raised to 8). However, all attacks must be made against the designated opponent and the Feralan must attack in every round he's able; he can't voluntarily break off an attack, or choose to attack a different opponent. An enraged Feralan must continue to attack the designated opponent until the feral rage wears off, or the opponent dies or escapes. If the rage wears off, the Feralan may continue to attack normally, or take any other action; however, the Feralan can't attempt to become enraged again against the same opponent. If the opponent dies, the feral rage automatically ends. If the opponent flees, the Feralan will pursue for the duration of the rage. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Familial Rapport: [/color][/b] The familial followers of a Feralan will generally do what they're asked, assuming they're physically capable of doing so, when the Feralan speaks to them in their own language. Mistreated familial followers may still abandon a Feralan. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Animal Training:[/color][/b] The Feralan may train non-familial followers. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Call of the Wild:[/color][/b] When in the plains, the Feralan may attempt to summon familial species animals by howling at the top of his lungs for 1-6 rounds. The DM then secretly rolls percentile dice. If the result is less than or equal to the Feralan's Wisdom score plus his level (a 1st level Feralan with Wisdom 15 has a base chance of 16%), 1-4 familial animals show up within the next hour. Once they arrive, these animals act as followers for the next 1-4 hours. During this time, the Feralan may command them with his Speak with Animals ability. At the end of the 1-4 hour period, the summoned animals disappear into the wilderness. A Feralan can attempt call of the wild once per day. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Forager:[/color][/b] By using this proficiency, a character can search a wilderness area to locate a small amount of a desired material, such as a branch suitable for carving into a bow, enough kindling to start a fire, a medicinal herb, or a component required for a spell. The character must spend 2-8 (2d4) hours searching, and the material must theoretically be available in the area being searched (for instance an icicle isn't available in the desert, nor dry kindling on the ocean floor). The DM doesn't confirm if the material sought is actually available until after the character has searched for the designated period. If the DM decides the material isn't in the area, no proficiency check is necessary; he merely reveals that the search was in vain. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Danger sense:[/color][/b] This proficiency provides a humanoid character with a sixth sense which warns of impending danger. On a successful check, the character avoids a trap at the last second or realizes that opponents wait to ambush him due to a sudden warning tingle that cannot be ignored. Characters who make successful checks spot traps before blundering into them and receive initiative against hidden opponents. This proficiency does not work against opponents who are out in the open and making no attempt to hide their actions. Failure indicates that the character senses nothing out of the ordinary and play continues normally. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Hunting:[/color][/b] When in wilderness settings, the character can attempt to stalk and bring down game. A proficiency check must be made with a -1 penalty to the ability score for every nonproficient hunter in the party. If the die roll is successful, the hunter (and those with him) have come within 101 to 200 yards (100+1d100) of an animal. The group can attempt to close the range, but a proficiency check must be made for each 20 yards closed. If the stalking is successful, the hunter automatically surprises the game. The type of animal stalked depends on the nature of the terrain and the whim of the DM. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Tracking:[/color][/b] The ability to follow an intended person for lengths of distance even without seeing the target. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Trail Signs:[/color][/b] A character with this proficiency can read symbolic messages indicated by an arrangement of stones or other physical objects. The character must designate the method of leaving messages preferred by his family, tribe, or culture. Typical methods include piling rocks, stacking branches, or building snow sculptures. When the character encounters such a message, he understands the meaning if he makes a successful proficiency check. ("A dragon dwells in these woods." "Eat the green berries for restored health.") The message is meaningless to characters without the trail signs proficiency. A character with the trail signs proficiency who uses methods other than the one encountered can try to read it at half the normal chance for success. This proficiency can also be used to identify the cultural group or tribe that has left a specific trail sign. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Rope Use:[/color][/b] This proficiency enables a character to accomplish amazing feats with rope. A character with rope use proficiency is familiar with all sorts of knots and can tie knots that slip, hold tightly, slide slowly, or loosen with a quick tug. If the character's hands are bound and held with a knot, he can roll a proficiency check (with a -6 penalty) to escape the bonds. This character gains a +2 bonus to all attacks made with a lasso. The character also receives a +10% bonus to all climbing checks made while he is using a rope, including attempts to belay (secure the end of a climbing rope) companions. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Running:[/color][/b] The character can move at twice his normal movement rate for a day. At the end of the day he must sleep for eight hours. After the first day's movement, the character must roll a proficiency check for success. If the die roll succeeds, the character can continue his running movement the next day. If the die roll fails, the character cannot use his running ability the next day. If involved in a battle during a day he spent running, he suffers a -1 penalty to his attack rolls. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Endurance:[/color][/b] A character with endurance proficiency is able to perform continual strenuous physical activity for twice as long as a normal character before becoming subject to the effects of fatigue and exhaustion. In those cases where extreme endurance is required, a successful proficiency check must be made. Note that this proficiency does not enable a character to extend the length of time that he can remain unaffected by a lack of food or water.

The ability is similar to the 2nd level priest spell Speak with Animals, but requires no components or casting time.

It was an entertaining skill he never developed, but it is great for when he needs to hunt rabbits or use with his 'not a hat' if it is too cramped to use his club. [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Wild Brawl:[/color][/b] When fighting without weapons, the Brute can propel himself into a berserk frenzy. Bites, punches and kicks are all directed at a single opponent. A single attack roll is used to determine if these attacks finds their mark. Damage is ld6.

[/list] [b][color=6ecff6]Armor:[/color][/b] [list] [*] [b][color=6ecff6]Enhanced Natural Armor:[/color][/b] The Brute’s coarse hair, thick skin, and dense bones give him a natural armor class of 6 (boosted to AC 4 when he wears padded or leather armor).

Much of its energy is still rather raw from the experience, but its damage transfer the dragonic energy of acid to stop regenerating creatures.

Left out in the woods and the wilds, he was taken up by a tribe of halfling plains-riders who thought him to be a curiosity. He grew in the tribe and grew some more, easily keeping pace with the 8 meal metabolism of the others and foraging for his own when extra hungry. His phenomenal strength lent him a place in the tribe, but his simpler than most mind meant he had no desires for chiefdom. One day, the plains-riders came upon a Gnoll tribe and their overconfidence was their doom. It was a glorious battle and now the halflings ride across the black plains as stars in the sky, but Lob was not one of those. He awoke some days later with a great gash across his forehead but alive all the same. He burned his people as they were to do and wandered on his own, breaking from the circuit of his people to see the rest of the realm. He came into sight of an adventuring party low on their luck and he brought them a whole elk that even the ranger hadn't been able to take down (to which the bard joked that he was the new animal companion for the ranger's lost wolf). They began to keep him like a pet and gave him his new name from the skull scar which he found good as his old name died with his people. [b][color=6ecff6]Adulthood:[/color][/b] The new family took him from woods to still water swamp where they sought out a black dragon and its treasure. The brackish trees were too thick to fly but not to climb as he made his way by branches when the dragon attacked. First it cunningly weakened the party with many animals of the swamp before striking. The party was doing well until the wizard was bitten by a snake and down for the count so Lob took the staff and swung it like a club across the dragons face. The reverberation of the shattered staff loosing all of its stored energy was enough to end the fight as the beast collapsed. But, when it came time to divide the treasures, the in-fighting broke the party in two with Lob merely claiming a trophy of the dragon as his reward. The party split up in town after all was said and sold, enough for some to retire. [b][color=6ecff6]Special Moments:[/color][/b] * Mating with a battlerager, it left scars in ways he didn't know that could happen * He has, questionably, gotten past his barbaric brute and taken up the ranger's path. He might be a Feralen, but still a ranger all the same. [b][color=6ecff6]Current Events:[/color][/b] The city was no place for Lob and so he had one of the fighters help him get his bone made into a serviceable weapon before he left with the groups Healer who chose to go on a pilgrimage to renew her faith and could use his strength. After a few temples, he pilgrimage has been made to pause with this new sickness rising. Since Lob is 'ever so good at finding things', the healer asked lob to help the children while she stays at this village to tend to the sick. He gathered together with the rest of the ten who had sworn to the sick by finding rare ingredients for the cure. Their first act was to defend the village from raiders then take the attack to them in their camp, that nights celebration was interrupted by a black knight upon a hellhound. He took the hounds skin to add to his armor and a potion to enhance his club. Leaving town they came upon a strange fog that scattered them to the winds where he found himself in an eyebite cavern. He slew one and took the body with him as he tracked his way back to the returning remainders of the group to find many had never made it back. The ten were now merely five as they made there way to the largest of port towns where they managed to barter and trade for the remaining items at robbery prices, but the children came first before their own rewards and only three returned back to the village as heroes for the children. With the children saved, Lob traveled to look for some more like him, more orcs. Little did he know what fate has in store for him.
