Personality: Haughty, cruel, deceitful, manipulative.
He's always had the attitude that those that cast magic are superior to those that don't, and those that cast arcane magic are superior to those that depend on gods to give them spells. Hence, he can be haughty and arrogant towards such "lesser" beings, if he feels that there is no use to be gained from them. But he is throughly practiced and adept at hiding his feelings and opinions in order to manipulate others who do have something he needs.
There are any number of his companions whom he has used for his own purposes completely unknowingly. For example, Malarky considers him his closest friend, and Tebryn has, indeed, done him big favors - but Tebryn has gotten a lot more out of the friendship than Malarky. And the last "favor" he did for Malarky's was very much at the expense of Eris.
He is quite paranoid about those of his companions whom he perceives as more powerful than he. Tigerblade, in particular, worries him. Tebryn has done a lot of plotting and planning about what to do if Tigerblade suddenly turns on him: a not wholly unreasonable fear, since Tigerblade has quaffed several philters of madness over his career and attacked his own companions. As a result of this, Tebryn has been surreptitiously spreading the rumor, through Malarky, for many years that Tigerblade actually has a split personality: the good Mr. Tiger, and the evil Mr. Blade. Tigerblade's reputation has not been seriously harmed.
Tebryn also has adopted the attitude of superiority of drow towards all lesser races. I say "adopted" because he's actually a "nouveau drow" - he was born 41 years ago as a Human, named Nick, but became a drow as a side-effect of a wish spell, slightly more than 13 years ago. Much to Veracity's amusement, he adopted not only a drow given name, but also a drow surname, although there is no real connection between him and that of the house whose name he took. Nor is there any actual genetic connection between he and Veracity, although they call each other "brother" and "sister": they were step-siblings.
He is very skillful with magic, but picked up thief skills in order to be more stealthy. He is considering becoming an assassin: he truly enjoys killing, and with his combination of classes, he thinks he'd be very good as a professional. He's also considering becoming an ur-priest - an evil prestige class of those who, like he, despise divine spellcasters but envy their divine spells, and have learned how to hijack divine energy being send by the gods to their priests, and use it to cast their own divine spells.

Tebryn's unusual or unique magic items:
+1 Manual of Quickness of Action
As a result of reading this, Tebryn has a +1 inherent bonus to
Dexterity, accounted for in the stats above. Since it has been used,
the book is no longer magical.
+1 Tome of Clear Thought
As a result of reading this, Tebryn has a +1 inherent bonus to
Intelligence, accounted for in the stats above. Since it has been
used, the book is no longer magical.
Rod of the Twisted Weave
This rod is a long black scepter with a point at one end. The other
end is an intricate design of loosely woven and twisted strands, with
raw magical energy glowing pale green in the midst of it, like a
burning jet of natural gas.
The device functions like a rod of absorption, automatically absorbing single-target spells or rays (and spell-like abilities duplicating those effects) directed at the possessor or the possessor's gear. However, instead of storing absorbed spell energy, the rod immediately creates a backlash of negative energy that deals 1d6 points of damage per absorbed spell level to the caster of the spell. A successful Will save reduces the damage by half. A negative energy protection spell negates the damage and undead spellcasters are actually healed by this effect.
Scarab of Protection
Absorbs energy draining attacks, death effects, and negative energy
effects.
Staff of the Magi (Minor Artifact)
A long wooden staff shod in iron and inscribed with sigils and runes. Currently contains 50 charges.
The following powers do not use charges:
- detect magic
- enlarge person (Fortitude DC 15 negates)
- hold portal
- light
- mage armor
- mage hand
The following powers drain one charge per usage:
- dispel magic
- fireball (10d6 damage, Reflex DC 17 half)
- ice storm
- invisibility
- knock
- lightning bolt (10d6 damage, Reflex DC 17 half)
- passwall
- pyrotechnics (Will or Fortitude DC 16 negates)
- wall of fire
- web
The following powers drain two charges per usage:
- monster summoning IX
- plane shift (Will DC 21 negates)
- telekinesis (400 lb. maximum weight, Will DC 19 negates)
Grants spell resistance of 23. If this is willingly lowered, the staff absorbs arcane spell energy directed at its wielder as a rod of absorption does, but absorbed energy is converted into charges. If the staff ever absorbs spell energy to exceed 50 charges, it explodes as if a retributive strike had been performed.
Can be broken for a retributive strike. Must be purposeful and declared by the wielder. All charges in the staff are released in a 30-foot spread. All within 10 feet take 8 times the number of charges hit points of damage. Those between 11 and 20 feet take 6 times the number of charges. Those between 21 and 30 feet take 4 times the number of charges. A DC 17 Reflex save reduces damage by half.
The character breaking the staff has a 50% chance of travelling to another plane, but if she does not, she is destroyed.
Stone of Good Luck
Grants Tebryn a +1 luck bonus to saving throws, ability checks, and
skill checks.
Tebryn's non-standard spells:

Evocation
Level: Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S, M

Casting Time: 1 round
Duration: Instantaneous
Effect: 1 Page or Book
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
The Copy spell enables the caster to make a perfect copy of a map, letter, or other written or drawn document. The caster must have a blank parchment or a book with blank pages of sufficient size to hold the copy. The caster holds the blank object over the object to be copied, than casts the spell; the copy appears on the formerly blank object. The length of the text is limited to 10 pages of standard size (roughly 9 inches by 12 inches).
The copy is permanent and is a perfect duplicate of the original. The spell cannot duplicate magical writings of any sort.
The material components for this spell are a piece of blank parchment (or a book with blank pages) and a drop of black ink.
Damning Darkness (Book of Vile Darkness)
Evocation [Darkness, Evil]

Components: V, M/DF
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Object touched
Duration: 10 minutes/level (D)
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This spell is similar the darkness, except that those within the area of darkness also take unholy damage. Creatures of good alignment take 2d6 points of damage per round, and creatures neither good nor evil take 1d6 points of damage. As with the darkness spell, the area of darkness is a 20-foot radius, and the object that serves as the spell's target can be shrouded to block the darkness (and thus the damage effect).
Damning darkness counters or dispels any light spell of equal or lower level.
Arcane Material Component: A dollop of pitch with a tiny needle hidden inside it.
Dancing Chains (Book of Vile Darkness)
Transmutation
Level: Demonologist 3, Sor/Wiz 4

Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One chain per level within range
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
The caster can control one chain per level as a standard action, making the chains dance or move as she wishes. In addition, the caster can increase the chains' length by up to 15 feet and cause them to sprout razor-edged barbs. These chains attack as spiked chains that use the caster's normal ranged attack bonus on attack rolls or grapple checks (treat each chain as a Medium-size when grappling).
The caster can climb a chain she controls at a normal speed without making a Climb check.
Darkbolt (Book of Vile Darkness)
Evocation [Darkness, Evil]
Level: Clr 2, Darkness 2, Sor/Wiz 2
Components: V, S
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial
Spell Resistance: Yes
The caster makes a ranged touch attack against a foe, launching a bolt of cold darkness from his left hand. The bolt deals 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8). Half the damage is cold, and the other half has no specific type. When struck, the foe must also succeed at a Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round, overcome by the evil charge of the darkbolt.
Lower Spell Resistance (Draconomicon)
Transmutation
Level: Clr 4, Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Casting Time: 1 round
Target: 1 creature
Duration: 1 minute/level
Saving Throw: Fortitude negates (see text).
Spell Resistance: None
This spell reduces the subject's spell resistance by 1 per caster level (maximum reduction 15). This reduction can't lower a target's spell resistance below 0.
The target of the spell takes a penalty on its saving throw equal to your caster level.
|
Name: Tebryn's Teleport Anchor Transmutation Level: Sor/Wiz 5 Components: V, S, F Casting Time: 1 full round Range: Touch Area: 10' cube per level Duration: Permanent until discharged Saving Throw: None The teleport spell has a factor of error built into it. Tebryn's teleport anchor ensures an "on target" result the next time a mage uses teleport to a destination within the Area of Effect. The spell has two variants. Using a finely crafted lead anchor of no less than 100 GP value as a focus, the mage can enchant an area that will subsequently be used as the destination of a teleport spell. The anchor remains in place until it is physically moved (which negates the spell) or until a mage eleports to a point within the Area of Effect, which will always be successful. A 13th level caster can use permanency to make this effect permanent on an area at a cost of 2500 XP. The alternate form of this spell allows the mage to enchant two finely crafted lead anchors, each of which is worth no less than 100 GP. One anchor is left at the expected destination of a subsequent teleport spell. The mage carries the other anchor. When she subsequently casts teleport with the destination being the other anchor, she will arrive safely at the current location of the other anchor - which may not be exactly what is expected if the second anchor was found and moved! |
Vocalize
Transmutation
Level: Sor/Wiz 2
Components: S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Target: You
Duration: 10 minutes/level
This spell allows you to cast spells that normally require a verbal component without the caster needing to make a sound. Such spells must be cast within the duration of the spell. This spell is also useful in situations where silence is desired, or when the recipient is under the influence of a silence spell.
Vocalize does not negate a silence spell, but merely offsets it for the purpose of spell casting; if a spell caster under the effect of vocalize casts a spell that has a verbal component, that sound would be masked as long as silence remains in force. Vocalize does not affect normal vocal communication.
The material component of this spell is a small bell with no clapper.
