Bogan the Tumultuous ForceEdit
A dangerous supernatural martial artist from ancient times, he embraced power through intense emotion and fury. He grants his binder the ability to use telekinetic power, shoot lightning, cloak their intentions, deflect projectiles, and wield a magic blade.
Level: 3rd
Binding DC: 20
Special Requirement: If you have hosted Ashla within the last 24 hours, Bogan refuses your call.
LegendEdit
Back when monks were merely beginning to organize, and their philosophy was still spreading, two brothers and martial artists known as Ashla and Bogan studied under a great master and took two very different lessons from their teachings. Where Ashla chose to draw power through tranquility and order, Bogan chose the path of intensity of emotion and instinct. Their split put the brothers at odds, and soon fighting broke out between them. Their battle lasted for 1000 years, even beyond death, and at the end, they both exhausted themselves so thoroughly that their very essence had dispersed into the cosmos, vanished from reality.
It is uncertain, but it is believed both Ashla and Bogan existed during the time of the monk RonoveToM. It's not known if she was a fellow monk, a friend, or even their teacher. However, both seem to synergize well with her.
ManifestationEdit
The user's emotions overtake them, seemingly magnified to the point of insanity and obsession. The world rumbles with the power of your emotion, and from the trembling ground spills a cloying black smoke, where a crimson ghost rises. It is the ghost of a cloaked elderly figure, its voice raspy as it offers you a contract to gain power over others.
SignEdit
You have a dark red outline glowing around you, and any weapon you wield glows brightly as if made of energy. You always seem very intense in all you do.
InfluenceEdit
You prefer to solve problems through force. It doesn't always translate into jumping into a fight, but you seek to bully others to achieve social or physical dominance. Submissive actions are not to be had.
Granted AbilitiesEdit
AC BonusEdit
You may replace your Dexterity with Charisma for the purposes of AC and Reflex saves, plus +1 insight bonus to AC and another +1 every 5 levels you have (maximum +5 at 20th). This can only be used in no armor or light armor, but not with a shield or heavier armor.
Blade of LightEdit
You can conjure any weapon you are proficient with the same action as drawing a weapon. This weapon is made of solid light, and automatically has greater magic weapon's effect upon it. If you drop the weapon, it vanishes and can be re-created as a standard action.
You become proficient with longswords.
Cloak the MindEdit
You are under the constant effects of nondetection.
Deflect ProjectilesEdit
You gain Deflect Arrows, but may deflect rays as well. You deflect with your blade of light instead of your hand.
Force LightningEdit
You can fire a cone of lightning from your fingers, dealing 1d4 electrical damage per character level to all creatures in a 15 foot cone, and creatures are staggered from the pain for 1 round. Creatures get a Fortitude save for half damage and to negate the staggering.
SynergyEdit
Bogan works well when bound with Ronove, the Iron MaidenToM. When using her Far Hand ability (a swift action), you can instead use Telekinesis. Your unarmed attacks deal +4 additional damage.
TelekinesisEdit
You gain telekinesis at a caster level equal to your binder level. Once you have used this ability, you cannot use it again for 5 rounds.
