Increased Dragonmark (Su): You can use either your Prestidigitation or Purify Food and Drink dragonmark spell-like ability (whichever you used to qualify for this prestige class) one additional time per day per class level. This stacks with other sources that increase the caster level of your dragonmark spell-like abilities. Improved Dragonmark (Su): At 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th levels, the caster level of your dragonmark spell-like abilities increases by +1. Weapons and Armor Proficiency: Black dogs gain proficiency with the blowgun, hand crossbow and the syringe spear, all weapons designed to assist in the delivery of poison. Oddly, neutral black dogs tend to be the most philosophical of them and thus, the longest lived.Īll of the following are class features of the black dog prestige class. Chaotic evil characters find this sort of 'combat' boring, while lawful good characters would not sink to such methods of deception to accomplish their goals. Lawful evil black dogs tend to take positions of power and use their skills to intimidate, while chaotic good black dogs tend to hunt down legitimate criminals and crippling them so that it is easier for law enforcement to deal with them. Chances are very good that opponents never learn the identify of the black dog that killed them or that they were even targeted.Īlignment: While there are no alignment restrictions, this class tends to attract those of chaotic good or lawful evil tendencies.
Alchemists and rogues fit naturally into this prestige class. They are spies and assassins, masked in the guise of servants and cooks. They try to use this method of vigilante justice to punish or cripple those that are guilty of war crimes, but occasionally, a black dog becomes obsessed with 'punishing' anyone that has slighted him or his kind.
Most of the time, the black dog is not even in the same hotel by the time the poison begins to set in. Using their dragonmark abilities in this manner, they are secretive and effective. Officially denounced by House Ghallanda, the black dogs are a rogue part of the family line, taking their aptitude for food and drink and being unnoticed and using it to poison 'guests that have outstayed their welcome'. But, this does not sit well with every member of the house.
For the halflings of the house, so long as the cardinal rule of 'Take It Outside' is obeyed, a patron's gold is worth more than their reputation. Thus, on more than one occasion, warlords, crime lords and villains of the most vile sort also visit the hotels of House Ghallanda and get served just as well as more upstanding folk. They are also known for their stanch neutrality on many political matters, preferring not to get involved in situations that do not directly affect their house. House Ghallanda is known far and wide for its spacious boarding houses, excellent food and providing the joys of home to weary travelers.
