An Andellion Warrior

Andellion Warrior

Balance Point: Wizard Tier, 4 of 4

Andellion Warriors are devout followers of Eden, the Goddess of Numbers. They are a brutal class of athletes and the so-called "shock troopers" of Eden because of their aggressiveness and violent nature. They can handle any weapon with ease thanks to their strange blessings of Dark Strength from their Goddess.

The Goddess Eden endows her proud warriors with divine strength and ability in the form of magical blessings. These blessing's are often called gifts of "Darkness" or gifts of "Numbers". These extraordinary abilities that sprout from their faith in Eden make them formidable opponents in combat. Eden strongly encourages her follows to spread her teachings through the missionary work of conquest and warfare. It is here, in the fires of combat, that these warriors seek to purge themselves of all evil and one day rejoin their Goddess in paradise. Most have fallen in ancient times and few remain to carry the torch and teachings. Those that do linger seek only the will of Eden and an honorable death in epic combat.

Andellion Warriors cannot easily be distingished from there fellow peoples except by their arrogent pride and violence. There massive strength is hidden beneath their sacred vows and blessings of their God, making them appear no different from any other memberof their natural race. They are a very outgoing persons as well, seeking to spread the teachings of Eden throughout the world and beyond. They may withstand public ridicule only to challenge their assailent to personal combat at a later time and place. They value honor, duty, and beauty in all its many forms. Their Goddess demands such qualities of her followers and worshippers. As such, Andellion Warriors are always dressed in their best attire and maintain high standards of conduct and poise. They maintain a rigid and lawful outlook on life, shunning theivery and it's law-breakers. Following the laws of whatever lands or kingdoms they may inhabit is only a means to an end. One day they believe they shall be the ones who make the rules and reign in the glory of Eden's power.

This makes their alignment difficult to judge openly. If they percieve you to be worthy of Eden's grace they shall treat you like a brother to their order. Helping and strengthing you at every turn, even at great sacrifice. If they percieve you as anything less than worthy, then expect to be ignored or killed outright. Eden does not stand the weak-willed and filthy to live. If they forgo murdering common civilans it is only because slaughtering officer's and official's of the law is deemed dishonorable in the eyes of their Goddess. Of course, for whatever reason they find to draw their swords, Andellion Warriors always bring terrible destruction and leave death in their wake.

Force Haste (Ex): Four times a day, as a swift action, you can summon the effects of the Haste spell upon yourself. This lasts for a number of rounds equal to your Strength modifier.

Shatter Point (Ex): An enemies weakness is always to your advantage. All of your attacks now deal either Slashing, Peircing, Bludgeoning, or Energy Damage to match your opponent's weaknesses. For instance, your attacks are always considered to deal Bludgeoning Damage against undead opponents and Fire Damage against opponents weak to Fire. This skill does not bypass Damage Reduction.

Campaign Information

Playing a Andellion Warrior

Religion: Andellion Warriors are devout followers of Eden, the Goddess of Numbers. Eden rewards their faith by blessing them with great power and strength. This power is often refered to by the warriors as gifts of "Darkness" or gifts of "Numbers". Eden demands qualities such as Beauty, Knowledge, Strength, Poise, Honor, Duty, and Pride in her followers. They are often percieved as a curious and violent group of zealots by others. Which is fine by them as they only respect power.

Other Classes: They prefer to charge their enemies and stand toe-to-toe dealing deadly blows with their swords. They find Empathy with all classes that aid their prowess in combat.

Combat: Melee Combatant. Damage output is your specialty. To maximize your crushing power it is recommended you gain an exotic weapon proficiency, such as the Full-blade weapon.

Advancement: Multi-classing can add breadth to your vertical progression.

Andellion Warrior's in the World

“	I am the instument in Eden's hand and shall bring about your destruction.	”
—Samara, Elven Andellion Warrior

Andellion Warrior's are born fighters.

Daily Life: Personal Physical Training through Combat. Meditation and reflection upon the revelations given by Eden. Missionary work through war and conquest.

Notables: They hold no positions of honor amongst themselves except for their Goddess. "Seek to mold yourself in her image", is their motto.

Organizations: A once proud and powerful guild of zealots, their numbers have diminished to only a handful. They travel now in adventuring groups seeking followers and knowledge. Rarely seen traveling in large groups as their missionary efforts have spread them thin across the world.

NPC Reactions: Regarded as a curious and violent group of zealots. Keep your distance and they shouldn't harm you. Challenge one and expect a quick and meaningless death.
