to be sure, they are feared because so little is known about
them.
AS FEARED AS THEY ARE REVERED
Most will avoid Defiers, and they are not quick to engage
others as well. Unless there is gain, they keep a discreet
distance. When they do interact, well versed and trained in
social interaction, they can easily speak with and engage in
proper conversation due the the chameleonesque nature of
their personality. Blending in with a band of rebels, a guild of
thieves, or a pontification of clerics, being a part of a group is
an easy transition when necessary.
CREATING A DEFIER
As you create your Defier, be mindful of the goals and
purposes to undertake. Are they out for vengeance? Do they
seek ultimate power and control? Was there a tragedy from
the past that took family or friends? What drives them
forward on their quest?
While a Defier is solitary in nature, they will travel with
groups and even make themselves useful. But everything is
done for a reason, and for ultimate gain. Whether it be good
or bad.
QUICK BUILD
You can make a Defier quickly by following these
suggestions. First, make Intelligence your highest ability
score. Make Wisdom your next highest if you plan to focus on
mystical power by following the Station of the Tortured Mind
or Harbinger. Choose a higher Constitution instead if you
wish to toy with toxoids via the Station of the Sly or use Mind
Focus on your weapons.
