====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the Glaive.

'''{{Ex}}:''' Sneak Attack: Every odd level starting at the 1st a Glaive gets an additional d6 of sneak attack dice.

'''{{Su}}:''' Warp Strike: at 1st 4th 7th and 10th level a Glaive gains a new rage maximum to his Warp Strike. A Glaive may throw any light melee weapon or Kukri as a ranged attack (using their ranged attack bonus) that also consumes the movement action, upon a hit the Glaive teleports instantly to his thrown weapon and is allowed to continue his/her attack, but may not make another Warp Strike for 1d4 rounds.  If the attack misses the weapon lands 1d4 squares away from the target and the Glaive may not continue his/her attack. 

'''{{Anchor| Elemental Strike}}:''' At 8th level a Glaive may change the damage type of his warp strike attack to either fire, cold, or electricity and ad an additional 2d6. this applies only to the initial Warp Strike attack.  

'''{{Anchor| Warp Strike Mastery}}:''' At 10th level once a Glaive makes a successful Warp Strike attack he/she may make either a blitz or a full attack. 
'''{{Anchor| Epic Warp Strike Mastery}}:''' At 20th level a Glaive may use any one handed martial weapon in accordance with Warp Strike.


'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feats}}:''' Endurance, Spring Attack, Bounding Assault, Rapid Blitz. 

The epic Glaive gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of epic Glaive feats) every 4 levels after the 10th.  

''Epic Glaive Bonus Feat List:'' Dexterous Will, Dexterous Fortitude, Improved Sneak Attack, Improved Combat Casting, Improved Spell Capacity, Sneak Attack Of Opportunity, Spontaneous Spell, Spell Knowledge, Superior Initiative, Tenacious Magic, Uncanny Accuracy.   

====Ex-Glaive====

Upon the violation of orders from the King or Captain or upon being excommunicated from the order a Glaive loses the Warp Strike ability, Warp Strike Mastery, and all Sneak Attack die awarded from the Glaive class. 


====Playing a Glaive====

'''Combat:''' Glaives are a rogue based class that can quickly move in and out of combat, they have the aptitude to cast arcane spells, and are thus more of a utility than before. They like to cast spells from a distance before warping to they're opponent and engaging in melee.  

'''Resources:''' A Glaive can contact/be contacted by his order by organization couriers (which are rarely if ever intercepted) its rare for the order to grant extra assistance  


====Glaives in the World====


Glaives are the most elite guard in the world.

'''NPC Reactions:''' NPCs are generally fearful of Glaives due to the rumors abut them being ill tempered, and prone to violent outbursts. 



====Glaive Lore====

Characters with ranks in Knowledge (history) or (arcana) can research Glaive's to learn more about them.  When a character makes a skill check, read or paraphrase the following, including information from lower DCs.

{| class="zebra d20"
|+ Glaive
! DC || class="left" | Result
|-
| 16 || class="left" | Their power comes from their king.
|-
| 21 || class="left" | How warp strike works, and that there are two other leaders besides the King, the General and the Captain.
|-
| 26 || class="left" | The Power is only actually focused through the king as a conduit from a magical stone from the beginning of time.
|- 
| 31 || class="left" | The General is actually corrupted by evil, he plans to destroy the Kings Glaive and seize the power for himself.
|}


==== Glaives in the Game====

PC and NPC glaives all take orders from the Captain, General, and King, no exceptions.

'''Adaptation:''' For campaigns where the law should be upheld and royalty must be protected. Also for players who want a different aspect of the rogue.
