Harmonic Performance (Su) This power creates harmonics in a 10-foot emanation centered on Rolthir Yarl, which negates sonic or language-dependant effects for 1d4+1 rounds. Each round, Rolthir Yarl makes a level check (1d20 + class level), with sonic or language-dependent effects negated within the emanation unless the creatures wielding those effects make a level check equal to or higher than Rolthir Yarl's level check. If a creature is already under the effect of an ongoing sonic or language-dependent effect when it finds itself within the emanation, the effect is negated if the wielder's level check fails to overcome the Rolthir Yarl's. Alternatively, Rolthir Yarl can use this power when making a Perform check, adding his class level as a bonus on the check if he has at least one rank in the skill, or one-half his class level if untrained.

Mask Personal Aura (Su) This power suppresses Rolthir Yarl's aura and the aura of any item he wears or carries. Spells and magical effects that detect any kind of aura (including detect evil, detect magic, detect undead, and discern lies) are ineffective against Rolthir Yarl and his equipment. Note, though, that the same information revealed by an aura might still be discerned by other magical means (clairaudience/clairvoyance, detect thoughts, true seeing, and so on). Once invoked, this power lasts 1d4+1 hours.

Minor Sophistry (Su) Rolthir Yarl draws on spurious logic, half-truths, and outright lies to make whatever he says seem plausible. As a free action, he gains a +5 bonus a single Diplomacy check, Intimidate check, or Bluff check made to convince another of the truth of his words (but not on other uses of the Bluff skill, such as feinting in combat, creating a diversion to hide, or communicating a hidden message via innuendo.) Alternatively, as a full-round action, Rolthir Yarl can cause a single creature within 30 feet to sink into a bemused state, becoming dazed for 1d4 rounds on a failed DC 14 Will save. Creatures that save successfully cannot be affected by the use of this form of the power by Rolthir Yarl for one day, though he still gains bonuses to skill checks used against those creatures. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

Nighteyes (Su) Rolthir Yarl can give himself low-light vision, enabling him to see twice as well as a human at night or in dim illumination, or darkvision with a range of 60 feet. Neither effect stacks with any other source of low-light vision or darkvision. This effect lasts 1d4+1 hours.

Alter Aura (Su) Using this power Rolthir Yarl can temporarily alter one aura of any creature or object that he touches, either suppressing the aura entirely or making it appear as if it was a different aura. The new aura has the same strength as the aura it replaced, but if an aura's alteration gives the subject two auras of the same kind, the auras overlap but their strength does not stack. Alternatively, Rolthir Yarl can alter an aura to make it stronger (one category maximum) or weaker than normal. When any creature uses an aura-detecting effect on a creature or object targeted by this power, the DM makes a secret caster level check (DC 10 + eldritch weaver level). On a successful check, the subject's true aura can be read, but if not, the subject's aura reads exactly as Rolthir Yarl has altered it. Once used, this power lasts 15 hours, or until dismissed by Rolthir Yarl.

Destructive Harmonics (Su) This power creates harmonics in a 10-foot-radius burst centered anywhere within 60 feet of Rolthir Yarl. Objects, constructs, and undead within the burst take 3d8 points of sonic damage, while living creatures within the area of effect are deafened for 1d4 rounds and may be stunned for 1 round if they fail a DC 20 Fortitude save. Creatures, attended objects, and unattended magic items in the burst are allowed Fortitude saves against the effect, with objects, constructs, and undead taking no damage on a successful save.

Guarded Mind (Su) By invoking this power, Rolthir Yarl gains a +2 bonus on Will saves for 1d4+1 minutes. If Rolthir Yarl should fail a saving throw against any charm or compulsion effect while this power lasts, he can attempt a new saving throw at the original DC after 1d4 rounds (assuming the effect is still in operation). Rolthir Yarl gets only one extra saving throw against any particular charm or compulsion effect.

Harmonic Performance (Su) This power creates harmonics in a 10-foot emanation centered on Rolthir Yarl, which negates sonic or language-dependant effects for 1d4+1 rounds. Each round, Rolthir Yarl makes a level check (1d20 + class level), with sonic or language-dependent effects negated within the emanation unless the creatures wielding those effects make a level check equal to or higher than Rolthir Yarl's level check. If a creature is already under the effect of an ongoing sonic or language-dependent effect when it finds itself within the emanation, the effect is negated if the wielder's level check fails to overcome the Rolthir Yarl's. Alternatively, Rolthir Yarl can use this power when making a Perform check, adding his class level as a bonus on the check if he has at least one rank in the skill, or one-half his class level if untrained.

Mask Personal Aura (Su) This power suppresses Rolthir Yarl's aura and the aura of any item he wears or carries. Spells and magical effects that detect any kind of aura (including detect evil, detect magic, detect undead, and discern lies) are ineffective against Rolthir Yarl and his equipment. Note, though, that the same information revealed by an aura might still be discerned by other magical means (clairaudience/clairvoyance, detect thoughts, true seeing, and so on). Once invoked, this power lasts 1d4+1 hours.

Mental Shock (Su) This power creates a line of terrible mental force 30 feet long. Creatures in the area must make a DC 20 Will save or be dazed for 1d4 rounds.

Minor Sophistry (Su) Rolthir Yarl draws on spurious logic, half-truths, and outright lies to make whatever he says seem plausible. As a free action, he gains a +15 bonus a single Diplomacy check, Intimidate check, or Bluff check made to convince another of the truth of his words (but not on other uses of the Bluff skill, such as feinting in combat, creating a diversion to hide, or communicating a hidden message via innuendo.) Alternatively, as a full-round action, Rolthir Yarl can cause a single creature within 30 feet to sink into a bemused state, becoming dazed for 1d4 rounds on a failed DC 20 Will save. Creatures that save successfully cannot be affected by the use of this form of the power by Rolthir Yarl for one day, though he still gains bonuses to skill checks used against those creatures. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

Nighteyes (Su) Rolthir Yarl can give himself low-light vision, enabling him to see twice as well as a human at night or in dim illumination, or darkvision with a range of 60 feet. Neither effect stacks with any other source of low-light vision or darkvision. This effect lasts 1d4+1 hours.

Sophistry (Su) As a full-round action, Rolthir Yarl weaves a cocoon of fallacious reasoning, equivocal statements, and mumbo-jumbo around himself. The effort creates a 30-foot emanation, centered on Rolthir Yarl, which causes all intelligent creatures within it (except Rolthir Yarl and his allies, if desired) to question their senses and their sanity. Lawful creatures within the area of effect become confused (as the spell) for the duration of the effect or until they leave the area. Nonlawful creatures become unable to focus their senses or organize their thoughts, and any attacks they make have a 20% miss chance. Likewise, any spells they cast have a 20% chance of failure (including spells from scrolls), as does any attempt to activate a magic item by spell trigger (if failure occurs, the item is not triggered and no charges are expended). Nonlawful creatures also take a -4 penalty to Listen, Sense Motive, and Spot checks, all Intelligence checks, and a -4 penalty on Will saves. These penalties last for the duration of the effect or until the affected creatures leave the area. The effect lasts as long as Rolthir Yarl concentrates, and for 1d3 rounds thereafter. Creatures with Intelligence scores of 2 or less are unaffected. A DC 20 Will saving throw negates the effect, and creatures making successful saves cannot be affected by Rolthir Yarl's sophistry power for one day. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

Stone of the Sun and Moon (Su) To use this power, Rolthir Yarl requires a moonstone or crystal prism worth at least 50 GP As a standard action, Rolthir Yarl can make the stone emit a 60-foot cone of dim light or a 30- foot cone of bright light, with either effect lasting for 1d6+1 hours. While either of the above light effects is in operation and Rolthir Yarl holds the stone, he can make the stone emit a blinding ray of light up to 60 feet long. Any creature struck by a ranged touch attack is blinded for 1d4 rounds unless it makes a DC 20 Fortitude save. This use of the stone extinguishes the light until the power is used again. Rolthir Yarl can have any number of stones operational at once (subject to his daily use limit for the power), but each requires a 50 GP stone as a focus. Other creatures can carry the stone for illumination, but only Rolthir Yarl can evoke the blinding ray.

Alter Aura (Su) Using this power Rolthir Yarl can temporarily alter one aura of any creature or object that he touches, either suppressing the aura entirely or making it appear as if it was a different aura. The new aura has the same strength as the aura it replaced, but if an aura's alteration gives the subject two auras of the same kind, the auras overlap but their strength does not stack. Alternatively, Rolthir Yarl can alter an aura to make it stronger (one category maximum) or weaker than normal. When any creature uses an aura-detecting effect on a creature or object targeted by this power, the DM makes a secret caster level check (DC 10 + eldritch weaver level). On a successful check, the subject's true aura can be read, but if not, the subject's aura reads exactly as Rolthir Yarl has altered it. Once used, this power lasts 20 hours, or until dismissed by Rolthir Yarl.

Destructive Harmonics (Su) This power creates harmonics in a 10-foot-radius burst centered anywhere within 60 feet of Rolthir Yarl. Objects, constructs, and undead within the burst take 3d8 points of sonic damage, while living creatures within the area of effect are deafened for 1d4 rounds and may be stunned for 1 round if they fail a DC 24 Fortitude save. Creatures, attended objects, and unattended magic items in the burst are allowed Fortitude saves against the effect, with objects, constructs, and undead taking no damage on a successful save.

Great Oration (Su) Rolthir Yarl can hold creatures spellbound with his voice, affecting up to 3 creatures if he speaks continuously for a full round. To be affected, the creature and Rolthir Yarl must have line of sight to each other and the creature must be able to hear Rolthir Yarl speak. Creatures with Intelligence scores of 2 or lower are not affected. An affected creature must make a successful DC 24 Will save or become dazed, taking no actions as it sits or stands calmly and listens to the oration. The creature remains dazed for as long as Rolthir Yarl continues to speak and concentrate (up to a maximum of 10 rounds). Any attack upon or damage dealt to the creature allows it a new saving throw. Rolthir Yarl and the subject creature need not share a common language, but if they don't, the subject gains a +2 bonus on its save. Likewise, the subject creature gains +2 bonus on its save if it is a different creature type than Rolthir Yarl, and gains a further +2 bonus whenever combat or some other distraction is occurring in the area. After holding creatures dazed for at least 1 round, Rolthir Yarl can attempt to impose one of three additional effects. As any saves allowed against the new effects, the attempt allows creatures a new saving throw against the great oration's original daze effect.

• Suggestion, as the spell. All the creatures affected must be given the same suggestion, which lasts a maximum of 1 minute.
• Confusion, as the spell, except that the effect lasts a maximum of 1 minute.
• Hideous laughter, as the spell, except that the effect lasts 10 rounds.

This power is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

Guarded Mind (Su) By invoking this power, Rolthir Yarl gains a +2 bonus on Will saves for 1d4+1 minutes. If Rolthir Yarl should fail a saving throw against any charm or compulsion effect while this power lasts, he can attempt a new saving throw at the original DC after 1d4 rounds (assuming the effect is still in operation). Rolthir Yarl gets only one extra saving throw against any particular charm or compulsion effect.

Harmonic Performance (Su) This power creates harmonics in a 10-foot emanation centered on Rolthir Yarl, which negates sonic or language-dependant effects for 1d4+1 rounds. Each round, Rolthir Yarl makes a level check (1d20 + class level), with sonic or language-dependent effects negated within the emanation unless the creatures wielding those effects make a level check equal to or higher than Rolthir Yarl's level check. If a creature is already under the effect of an ongoing sonic or language-dependent effect when it finds itself within the emanation, the effect is negated if the wielder's level check fails to overcome the Rolthir Yarl's. Alternatively, Rolthir Yarl can use this power when making a Perform check, adding his class level as a bonus on the check if he has at least one rank in the skill, or one-half his class level if untrained.

Mask Personal Aura (Su) This power suppresses Rolthir Yarl's aura and the aura of any item he wears or carries. Spells and magical effects that detect any kind of aura (including detect evil, detect magic, detect undead, and discern lies) are ineffective against Rolthir Yarl and his equipment. Note, though, that the same information revealed by an aura might still be discerned by other magical means (clairaudience/clairvoyance, detect thoughts, true seeing, and so on). Once invoked, this power lasts 1d4+1 hours.

Mental Shock (Su) This power creates a line of terrible mental force 30 feet long. Creatures in the area must make a DC 24 Will save or be dazed for 1d4 rounds.

Minor Sophistry (Su) Rolthir Yarl draws on spurious logic, half-truths, and outright lies to make whatever he says seem plausible. As a free action, he gains a +20 bonus a single Diplomacy check, Intimidate check, or Bluff check made to convince another of the truth of his words (but not on other uses of the Bluff skill, such as feinting in combat, creating a diversion to hide, or communicating a hidden message via innuendo.) Alternatively, as a full-round action, Rolthir Yarl can cause a single creature within 30 feet to sink into a bemused state, becoming dazed for 1d4 rounds on a failed DC 24 Will save. Creatures that save successfully cannot be affected by the use of this form of the power by Rolthir Yarl for one day, though he still gains bonuses to skill checks used against those creatures. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

Nighteyes (Su) Rolthir Yarl can give himself low-light vision, enabling him to see twice as well as a human at night or in dim illumination, or darkvision with a range of 60 feet. Neither effect stacks with any other source of low-light vision or darkvision. This effect lasts 1d4+1 hours.

Skilled Oration (Su) This power makes Rolthir Yarl's voice more compelling. When Rolthir Yarl makes a Bluff, Diplomacy, or Perform (Oration) check, he adds his class level as a bonus on the check if he has at least one rank in the skill, or one-half his class level if untrained. Alternatively, Rolthir Yarl can create a 20-foot emanation to negate sonic or language-dependant effects. This use of the power lasts as long as Rolthir Yarl speaks and concentrates, during which time he makes a level check (1d20 + class level) each round. Sonic or language-dependent effects are negated within the emanation unless the creatures wielding those effects make a level check equal to or higher than Rolthir Yarl's level check. If a creature is already under the effect of an ongoing sonic or language-dependent effect when it finds itself within the emanation, the effect is negated if the wielder's level check fails to overcome Rolthir Yarl's.

Sophistry (Su) As a full-round action, Rolthir Yarl weaves a cocoon of fallacious reasoning, equivocal statements, and mumbo-jumbo around himself. The effort creates a 30-foot emanation, centered on Rolthir Yarl, which causes all intelligent creatures within it (except Rolthir Yarl and his allies, if desired) to question their senses and their sanity. Lawful creatures within the area of effect become confused (as the spell) for the duration of the effect or until they leave the area. Nonlawful creatures become unable to focus their senses or organize their thoughts, and any attacks they make have a 20% miss chance. Likewise, any spells they cast have a 20% chance of failure (including spells from scrolls), as does any attempt to activate a magic item by spell trigger (if failure occurs, the item is not triggered and no charges are expended). Nonlawful creatures also take a -4 penalty to Listen, Sense Motive, and Spot checks, all Intelligence checks, and a -4 penalty on Will saves. These penalties last for the duration of the effect or until the affected creatures leave the area. The effect lasts as long as Rolthir Yarl concentrates, and for 1d3 rounds thereafter. Creatures with Intelligence scores of 2 or less are unaffected. A DC 24 Will saving throw negates the effect, and creatures making successful saves cannot be affected by Rolthir Yarl's sophistry power for one day. This is a mind-affecting compulsion effect.

Stone of the Sun and Moon (Su) To use this power, Rolthir Yarl requires a moonstone or crystal prism worth at least 50 GP As a standard action, Rolthir Yarl can make the stone emit a 60-foot cone of dim light or a 30- foot cone of bright light, with either effect lasting for 1d6+1 hours. While either of the above light effects is in operation and Rolthir Yarl holds the stone, he can make the stone emit a blinding ray of light up to 60 feet long. Any creature struck by a ranged touch attack is blinded for 1d4 rounds unless it makes a DC 24 Fortitude save. This use of the stone extinguishes the light until the power is used again. Rolthir Yarl can have any number of stones operational at once (subject to his daily use limit for the power), but each requires a 50 GP stone as a focus. Other creatures can carry the stone for illumination, but only Rolthir Yarl can evoke the blinding ray.
