Krauth Ragefire
Welcome again to Masters and Minions, where I strive to give you interesting NPCs and encounters that can be placed easily into your game. This week’s encounter is with Krauth Ragefire, a half-orc cleric of an orcish god of destruction. Krauth Ragefire has been inciting his orcish brethren into further hostilities with the outlying human settlements. This increase in hostilities has become too much for local militia to handle, and a 6,000 gp bounty has been placed on his head.
When Krauth isn’t inciting his fellow orcs into a frothing rage, he spends his days brooding alone in his secluded hut or on solo raids on the outlying human settlements.
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Destructive Smite (Su)
You gain the destructive smite power: the supernatural ability to make a single melee attack with a morale bonus on damage rolls equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum 1). You must declare the destructive smite before making the attack. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Ferocious Strike (Su)
Whenever you make a melee attack, you can designate that attack as a ferocious strike. If the attack hits, it deals additional damage equal to 1/2 your cleric level (minimum +1). You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.
Might of the Gods (Su)
At 8th level, you can add your cleric level as an enhancement bonus to your Strength score for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. This bonus only applies on Strength checks and Strength-based skill checks. These rounds do not need to be consecutive.
Rage (Su)
At 8th level, you can enter a fearsome rage, like a barbarian, for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. At 12th and 16th level, you can select one rage power. You cannot select any rage power that possesses a level requirement, but otherwise your barbarian level is equal to 1/2 your cleric level. These rounds of rage stack with any rounds of rage you might have from levels of barbarian.
Sacred Tattoo
Tattoos, piercings, and ritual scarification are sacred markings to many half-orcs. Half-orcs with this racial trait gain a +1 luck bonus on all saving throws. This racial trait replaces the orc ferocity racial trait.
