SPECIAL ABILITIES

Arcane Training Half-elves occasionally seek tutoring to help them master the magic in their blood. Half-elves with this racial trait have only one favored class and it must be an arcane spellcasting class. They can use spell trigger and spell completion items for their favored class as if 1 level higher (or as a 1st-level character if they have no levels in that class). This racial trait replaces the multitalented racial trait.

Attuned to the Citysong Every city has an underlying beat, and you are attuned to the musical cues that change subtly to reflect nearby events. At the start of an adventure, you may select a settlement that has at least 1,000 inhabitants. For the duration of the adventure, you gain a +1 bonus on initiative checks and Knowledge (local), Perception, Stealth, and Survival skill checks while within the limits of the selected settlement. If you select Magnimar as your settlement of choice, increase this bonus to +2. Once you have used this boon, cross it off the Chronicle sheet.

Bonus Witch Spell Add one spell from the witch spell list to the witch's familiar. This spell must be at least one level below the highest spell level she can cast. If the witch ever replaces her familiar, the new familiar knows these bonus spells.

Cackle (Su) The witch can cackle madly as a move action. This hex can be used only once per round. Any creature that is within 30 feet that is under the effects of an agony hex, charm hex, evil eye hex, fortune hex, or misfortune hex caused by the witch has the duration of that hex extended by 1 round.

Cantrips You can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again.

Corruption Uncovered (Andoran) Once per scenario before you make a Sense Motive check, you may add +2 to the check.

Cross-Cultural Empath Despite differences in language and culture, you are able to acquire allies and forge friendships. Choose a humanoid subtype other than your own. For the duration of the scenario, you gain a +1 bonus on Diplomacy and Sense Motive checks with creatures of that subtype, and you may make a DC 10 Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma check to communicate basic concepts with said creatures even if you do not share a language. When this boon is used, cross it off this Chronicle sheet.

Current Prestige Points (11x) The character has 11 current prestige points.

Death-Speaker When you use a spell, spell-like ability, or supernatural ability to cast commune, contact other plane, or speak with dead, treat your caster level as being two higher for all level-variable effects of the spell. When this bonus is used, cross it off your Chronicle.

Deliver Touch Spells (Su) Your familiar can deliver touch spells or hexes for you. If you and your familiar are in contact at the time you cast the touch spell, you can designate your familiar as the "toucher". Your familiar can then deliver the touch spell just as you would. As usual, if you cast another spell before the touch is delivered, the touch spell dissipates. If you activate a hex, your familiar can be used to make the touch. You do not have to be in contact with your familiar to use this ability.

Distrust of Witches Having been exposed to the curses of the jadwiga and winter witches of Irrisen once, you are mentally prepared to resist the hexes of others. You gain a one-time +4 bonus on a saving throw against a single witch hex, curse effect, or spell or effect with the pain descriptor. When this bonus is used, cross it off your Chronicle.

Dual Minded The mixed ancestry of some half-elves makes them resistant to mental attacks. Half-elves with this racial trait get a +2 bonus on all Will saving throws. This racial trait replaces the adaptability racial trait.

Duplicitous Charm As a confidence artist, you are adept at earning the trust of others and bending them to your needs. Choose a creature. Until the end of the scenario you gain a +2 competence bonus on Bluff checks to lie to the creature and Diplomacy checks to improve the creature’s attitude or request favors from it. When this boon is used, cross it off your Chronicle sheet.

She gains an additional hex at 2nd level and for every 2 levels attained after 2nd level, as noted on Table 2-10. A witch cannot select an individual hex more than once. Unless otherwise noted, using a hex is a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

Kassen’s Blessing You carry a small charm from the spirit of Kassen. You may reroll a single attack roll, saving throw, or skill check after the roll is made but before the results are revealed. You must take the result of the second roll, even if it is worse. Once this ability has been used, cross it off the Chronicle.

Keen Senses (Ex) Half-elves receive a +2 bonus on Perception skill checks.

Caravan (Diplomacy) You own a controlling share in a caravan that makes regular trips through the Inner Sea region. You aren't required to maintain a presence in the caravan, and thus do not need to accompany the caravan as it makes its journeys, but you do shoulder some of the responsibility of ownership. For the most part, this means handling things like representing the caravan's interests to important merchants, politicians, and aristocrats. When you first purchase your caravan, you must decide how you wish to represent the caravan's interests - this decides what additional skill you can use to make Day Job checks. If you wish to represent the caravan as an upstanding citizen and above-the-board merchant, you can use Diplomacy to make Day Job rolls. If, on the other hand, you want to skirt the laws, focus on smuggling, and otherwise use deception to maintain the caravan's success, you can use Bluff to make Day Job rolls. Finally, if you want to have your caravan be especially well guarded and use blatant shows of force to get what you need, you can use Intimidate to make Day Job rolls.

Restful Pathfinders' Lounge Restful Pathfinders' Lounge (2 PP): Decades ago, a group of aff luent Pathfinders founded the Restful Pathfinders' Lounge, a members-only club in the Petal District of Absalom where they could relax when not adventuring, while simultaneously avoiding having a venture-captain tell them they weren't busy enough.

Witch's Familiar You form a close bond with a familiar, a creature that teaches you magic and helps to guide you along your path. Your familiar also aids you by granting you skill bonuses, additional spells, and help with some types of magic. These special abilities apply only when you and your familiar are within 1 mile of each other. The familiar stores all the spells that you know.

Witch Patron Spells At 1st level, when a witch gains her familiar, she must also select a patron. This patron is a vague and mysterious force, granting the witch power for reasons that she might not entirely understand. While these forces need not be named, they typically hold influence over one of the following forces. At 2nd level, and every two levels thereafter, a witch's patron adds new spells to a witch's list of spells known. These spells are also automatically added to the list of spells stored by the familiar. Spells marked with an asterisk (*) appear in Chapter 5 of this book. The spells gained depend upon the patron chosen. Each patron is listed by its theme. Its actual name is up to the GM and the witch to decide.
