* Splintered Identity (Ex): A vigilante hides his true identity, allowing him to move about social circles and nobility without carrying the stigma of his ruthless actions. In effect, the vigilante has two identities: one is a polite member of society while the other is a skilled and cunning warrior. To keep up this charade, the vigilante usually has two names: his true name, used in polite company, and his vigilante name, used to strike fear in the hearts of those who oppose him. Knowledge checks about one do not reveal information about the other, unless the vigilante’s true identity revealed to the world at large. The vigilante can start each day in either of his identities, referred to simply as social or vigilante. Changing from one identity to another takes 1 minute and must be done out of sight from other creatures to preserve the vigilante’s secret. Changing identities is more than just changing outfits and clothing (although that is certainly a part of it); the process often also involves applying make-up, altering his hair, and adjusting other personal effects. Furthermore, the change is as much a state of mind as of body, so items such as a hat of disguise and similar spells and effects that change the user’s appearance do not reduce the time required to change identities. Most social talents require the vigilante to be in his social identity, but a vigilante who uses vigilante talents in his social identity risks exposing his secret. Despite being a single person, a vigilante’s dual nature allows him to have two alignments, one for each of his identities. When in an identity, he is treated as having that identity’s alignment for all spells, magic items, and abilities that rely on alignment. For the purpose of meeting a qualification for a feat, class, or any ability, he is only eligible if both of his alignments meet the requirements. A vigilante’s two alignments cannot be more than one step from each other on a single alignment axis. For example, a vigilante with a lawful neutral social identity could have a vigilante identity that is lawful good, lawful neutral, lawful evil, neutral, neutral good, or neutral evil. If a vigilante is the target of an effect that would change his alignment, it changes both of his alignments to the new alignment. Any attempts to scry or otherwise locate the vigilante work only if the vigilante is currently in the identity the creature is attempting to locate (or if the creature knows that the two identities are the same individual). Otherwise, the spell or effect has no effect, revealing nothing but darkness, as if the target were invalid or did not exist. A splintersoul’s two identities are even more distant from one another than those of a normal vigilante. He cannot use any of his vigilante talents while in his social identity. However, for the purpose of qualifying for classes, feats, and other abilities, he is eligible if one of his alignments meets the requirements. While in an identity whose alignment is incompatible with an ability, class, or feat, he temporarily loses access to the feat or ability or is treated as an ex-member of the class, as appropriate. For example, a splintersoul with barbarian levels, a lawful-good social identity, and a neutral vigilante identity can’t use his vigilante talents or his rage class feature while in his social identity, but he regains these abilities and can use them as normal as soon as he changes to his vigilante identity. A splintersoul with paladin levels must follow the paladin’s normal code of conduct while in a lawful-good identity, but while in an identity with a different alignment, the following changes apply to his code: Willingly committing an evil act (for example, casting a spell with the evil descriptor) still causes the vigilante to become an ex-paladin, but otherwise, he can do whatever else he feels is necessary to uphold the causes of law and good. He should strive to act with honor and uphold the tenets of his faith, but failing to do so is not a violation of his code. At the GM’s discretion, other classes or archetypes with similarly strict codes of conduct can also follow a less strict version of a code of conduct while in an identity with an incompatible alignment.
Quick Change (Ex): The vigilante learns to shift between his identities with ease. Instead of needing 1 minute to change his identity, he can now do so as a full-round action. If, after a quick change, he encounters any creature familiar with both of his identities, he must attempt a Disguise check to avoid the creature seeing through his hastily donned disguise and realizing that the identities are, in fact, the same person. The vigilante can spend 1 additional round adjusting and perfecting his appearance and persona to negate the need for this check.
** A vigilante with this talent can pronounce judgment upon her foes as a swift action. Starting when the judgment is made, the vigilante receives a bonus or special ability based on the type of judgment made. At 1st level, a vigilante can use this ability once per day. At 4th level and every three levels thereafter, the vigilante can use this ability one additional time per day. Once activated, this ability lasts until the combat ends, at which point all of the bonuses immediately end. The vigilante must participate in the combat to gain these bonuses. If she is frightened, panicked, paralyzed, stunned, unconscious, or otherwise prevented from participating in the combat, the ability does not end, but the bonuses do not resume until she can participate in the combat again. Purity: The vigilante is protected from the vile taint of her foes, gaining a +1 sacred bonus on all saving throws. This bonus increases by +1 for every five inquisitor levels she possesses. At 10th level, the bonus is doubled against curses, diseases, and poisons.
*** Social Grace: The vigilante selects any one Intelligence-, Wisdom-, or Charisma-based skill other than Perception or Use Magic Device. Whenever the vigilante is in his social identity, he receives a +4 circumstance bonus on checks with the selected skill. At 5th level and every 4 levels thereafter, he can select another skill (with the same restrictions) to gain this bonus.
**** Ifrits with this racial trait mimic the healing abilities of the mephits, gaining fast healing 2 for 1 round anytime they take fire damage (whether or not this fire damage gets through their fire resistance). The ifrit can heal up to 2 hit points per level per day with this ability, after which it ceases to function.
***** Belt of Tumbling: Aura: faint transmutation; CL 1st; Weight 1 lb. This thin and flexible cotton cord is meant to be wrapped several times around wearer’s waist. The belt’s wearer gains a +4 competence bonus on Acrobatics checks made to move through a threatened square or through an enemy’s space.
****** Seamless Guise (Ex): A vigilante knows how to behave in a way that appears perfectly proper and normal for his current identity. Should anyone suspect him of being anything other than what he appears to be while either in his social or vigilante identity, he can attempt a Disguise check with a +20 circumstance bonus to appear as his current identity, and not as his other identity.
******* Impressive Presence: Your grandiose posturing often makes it difficult for anyone to concentrate around you. Once per day as a full-round action, you may attempt to distract adjacent foes with a lengthy display of your martial prowess. All adjacent foes must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 your level + your Charisma modifier) or gain the shaken condition. This condition persists for 1 round.
******** Redeemer (Faith): You’ve always held the strong belief that morality is everyone’s choice, and that those who act in wicked ways have simply never been shown how their actions truly affect others. If they could be shown their errors, then they would accept a more positive course of action—and you have just enough patience to see this through. When acting as a sponsor for an evil creature seeking redemption, your patience and kindness grant the creature a +3 bonus on its save rather than a +1 bonus.
********* Armbands of the Brawler: Aura: faint transmutation; CL 3rd; Weight 1 lb. These scarred and worn armbands have clearly seen rough use, and are constructed out of coarse leather and fastened with thick leather straps. They grant their wearer a +1 competence bonus on grapple checks and checks to break a grapple.
********** Seer’s Tea: Aura: faint divination; CL 3rd; Weight —. This rich tea can be made from any number of herbs. When the tea is brewed without a filter and imbibed, the drinker can read the patterns in the leaves remaining at the bottom of her cup, gaining the benefits of an augury spell. Additionally, the unbrewed tea can be used as an extra material component when casting augury, removing the need for a focus. In this case, the caster instead reveals information as if she had cast divination instead.
*********** Warpaint of the Terrible Visage: Aura: faint necromancy; CL 1st; Weight —. This thimble-sized clay container of thick, moist face paint has enough material to paint streaks and whorls of any color on one creature’s face. Once applied, the wearer can, as a swift action, make the paint rearrange itself into a ghastly mélange of colors, making her appearance momentarily disturbing and hideous. The wearer chooses one creature who can see her painted face within 30 feet to be affected by cause fear (DC 11). Once the paint is used in this fashion, it loses all magic and becomes normal face paint. Once applied, the wearer has 24 hours to use the paint’s magic; otherwise it fades away.
************ Whacking Stick: Damage: 1d4 B&P or 1d6 B; Critical: x2; Range Increment: 10 feet; Weight: 1 lb. The whacking stick looks like a club, but is closer in function to brass knuckles. The head of a whacking stick is made from the hardened root bulb of a sapling, and is either sharpened to a dull point, or carved into flanges or facets like a mace. The tail end of the haft is sharpened as well. The head of the whacking stick is grasped in the hand and used for punching attacks, while the haft is allowed to trail along the forearm for use as a makeshift buckler. The grip on the weapon can also be reversed, still grasping the head but jabbing with the pointed end of the haft. Finally, the haft of the weapon can be used as a grip, allowing the user to swing it like a club. If the user is fighting defensively, the whacking stick adds an additional +1 to the user’s AC to represent the added defense provided by using the haft as a makeshift buckler. A whacking knife cannot be used defensively on the same arm as a sheathed arm knife. If used as a club, the whacking stick inflicts 1d6 points of damage, but it inflicts blunt damage instead of blunt/piercing damage, and the haft shatters on a natural roll of 1.
************* When applied directly to a wound, these herbal balms speed healing and produce a sedative effect. They are not especially useful in the heat of combat, as it can take several hours for the sedative effect to wear off and for the subject to return to normal. A healing salve converts 1d4 points of damage into the same amount of subdual damage. The subdual damage heals at the normal rate of 1 hp per character level per hour of rest. For one hour after the use of a healing salve, the user is drowsy; drowsy characters suffer -1 to all skill and ability checks, attack rolls, and saving throws. A healing salve can only be effectively used once per hour ~ penalties and healing do not stack with multiple uses during that time ~ though subsequent application after an hour’s wait do convert more damage.
************** This liquid, distilled from the bark of trees, provides partial protection from malaise, a common but occasionally dangerous ailment caused by mosquito bites. Drinking marsh water allows a victim to take 10 on any saving throws against malaise for one week.
