Editing Ralor (section)

==Ralor the Blackblade==
A fifth son of the Tathis family, minor landed Vothites who held territory on the border of Lliagis west of the great city of Acitor, until the Autumn War subsumed their lands under the rule of Golt Ice Maker, a Lliagian warlord and elementalist. Ralor's great-uncle was a Blackblade, an order dating back to before the arrival of the Reaping King, and he inducted Ralor into their threadbare ranks.

Three days ago Ralor was beaten and robbed. He bears the war robe and sword of the sole attacker he killed before they left Ralor for dead. He has vowed to retrieve the weapon of his naming, the obsidian greatsword Tomorrow's Promise.

===Foci===
*'''Armsmaster-1:''' I have an unusual competence with thrown weapons and melee attacks (not unarmed or non-thrown projectiles). Gain Stab as a bonus skill. I can Ready a Stowed melee or thrown weapon as an Instant action. I may add my Stab skill level to a melee or thrown weapon’s damage roll or Shock damage, assuming it has any to begin with.
*'''Close Combatant-1:''' I've had all too much practice at close-in fighting and desperate struggles with drawn blades. I'm extremely skilled at avoiding injury in melee combat. Gain Stab as a bonus skill. I can use knife-sized thrown weapons in melee without suffering penalties for the proximity of melee attackers. I ignore Shock damage from melee assailants, even if I'm unarmored at the time, but invoking this benefit disrupts any spellcasting I might do that round due to the need for violently active evasion.
*'''Connected-1:''' I'm remarkably gifted at making friends and forging ties with the people around me. Wherever I go, I always seem to know somebody useful to my ends. Gain Connect as a bonus skill. If I’ve spent at least a week in a not-entirely-hostile location, I’ll have built a web of contacts willing to do favors for me that are no more than mildly illegal. I can call on one favor per game day and the GM decides how far they’ll go for me.
*'''Nullifier-1:''' My mageslayer tattoos and training interfere with easy use of magic on me. I and all allies within twenty feet gain a +2 bonus to all saving throws against magical effects. As an On Turn action, I can feel the presence or use of magic within twenty feet of me, though I can’t discern details about it or the specific source. The first failed saving throw against a magical effect I suffer in a day is turned into a success.

===Mageslayer Arts===
Effort: 2
*'''Antimage:''' gain one level of the Nullifier focus for free
*'''Magebane:''' I add half my level, rounded up, to all damage I inflict on casters from any source, be it by weapon, Shock, or violent action.
*'''Witchfinder:''' As a Main Action, Commit Effort for the scene. For the rest of the scene, I gain the benefits of the Apprehend the Arcane Form spell, except for the spell’s darkvision ability. 
**I open my mind to the presence of occult energies. I am capable of seeing active magical effects, curses, enchantments, or other dweomers as colored auras or patterns of light. I may identify magical items and get a one-sentence description of their purpose or most significant powers, and may get more sophisticated answers with successful Wis/Magic skill checks at difficulties of 8 or more depending on the subtlety of the enchantment. Mages with prepared spells are visible to me, though which spells the subject might have prepared is not knowable.
*'''Spell Shield:''' When a spell inflicts hit point damage on me, it’s automatically halved, rounded down, before any saves or resistances are applied.
*'''Disrupt Sorcery:''' As an On Turn action, Commit Effort for the scene. The next attack I make that round will leave the target unable to cast spells or trigger Mage arts for the rest of the round, even if the attack misses. Currently-active arts are not disrupted. If the attack is successfully Screened by an ally, however, the target is unaffected.
