| By the way, the campaign with the PC's and Mel right now is spring 1383 DR. The Shadowvar have increasingly raided the outskirts of northern Cormyr. Sir Ivan already received upgraded gear for himself and every Purple Dragon under his command. |

Cool! I had this concept of a novel about Sir Ivan (as the protagonist) that had him fighting off the evils of the Shades - but from the perspective of air-born fighter jet warfare. The likes we see now in movies like Top-Gun, Stealth, Iron Eagle, etc. Obviously he'd be fighting from a Pegasus, but doing aerial maneuvers to shoot down (via Arrows/magic items) Shade enemies and maybe even some close encounters with Zhentarim Sky-mages.
I'm glad he got himself and his troops some gear. Maybe have Scyulla Darkhope's sword mounted as some sort of trophy or her armor (both of which, he got after defeating her). |

Been a while since I posted a new NPC. I was reading up on how different editions did their Bear Warriors and I realized that I had actually never made one in our 3.5 days. So, to see one in "full action" and to play with a bunch of the later splat-books, I created this guy. Also, he might see some time in our long-running Cormyr/Shadowdale/Anauroch adventure that concluded earlier this year and now sights are set on Rasheman. Anyways, enjoy!

Bear Form (Su): When Demyan enters his rage, he can assume the form of a black or brown bear. While changed, he retains the rage’s +2 bonus to Will saves and -2 penalty to AC. When changed into a black bear, he gains a +8 bonus to Strength, a +2 bonus to Dexterity, and a +4 bonus to Constitution. When changed into a brown bear, Demyan gains a +16 bonus to Strength and a +2 bonus to Dexterity, and a +8 bonus to Constitution.
Feral Trance (Su): Twice per day Demyan can enter a feral battle trance. While in this trance, his feet and hands become claw-like and his teeth lengthen and grow pointed. For the duration, he gains a +4 bonus to Dexterity and a +2 bonus on damage rolls with his unarmed strikes. He can also make one bite attack per round at his highest base attack bonus as part of a full-round action. The bite deals 1d6 + your Str modifier, regardless of size. This trance lasts
for a number of rounds equal to 3 + his Constitution modifier.
Improved Grab (Ex): When Demyan successfully hits with a claw or bite attack, he may start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.
Morphic Body (Su): Demyan uses precise control over his bear form and as such, gains +4 to his Strength and Constitution scores.
Morphic Healing (Su): Demyan gains fast healing 2 as he uses his bear form to change and smooth over his skin where wounds appear. If Demyan takes full-round action and succeeds on a Concentration check (DC equals total damage he’s sustained), he heals 10
points of damage.
Morphic Reach (Su): Demyan can suddenly stretch his limbs, neck, or other appendages outward, giving him 5 more feet of reach than the creature he is emulating.
Primal Living (Ex): To maintain his primal powers, Demyan lives like a wild animal for most of his life. He does not sleep indoors and almost always hunts and scavenges for food. Failure for not adhering to this taboo more than three times in a month’s span results in a loss of his powers until he spends one month in the wilderness.
Rage (Ex): Four times per day, Demyan can fly into a rage on his turn as a free action. While raging, Demyan gains a +4 bonus to his Strength and Constitution, and a +2 morale bonus to his Will saves, but takes a -2 penalty to his Armor Class. The increase in Constitution increases Demyan’s hit points by 2 points per level, but these go away at the end of the rage when his Constitution score drops back to normal. The rage lasts for a number of rounds equal to 3 + his newly improved Constitution modifier.
Below are changes to Demyan’s statistics when entering his brown bear rage and utilizing his feral trance features:
Large animal (shapechanger)
hp 279 (16 HD); fast healing 2
Init +7
Fort +33, Ref +17, Will +14; +1 to saves against traps
Melee improved unarmed strike +35/+30/+25 (3d8+27) and
Bite +35 (1d6+17)
Space 10-ft.; Reach 10 ft. with improved unarmed strike and bite
Base Atk +15; Grp +36
Abilities Str 44, Dex 24, Con 26
