Runescarred Archetype

The rune magic of Thassilon and its descendant nations has left its mark on your very flesh. As a runescarred, you have an unusually close connection to this ancient magic, which has become a newly emerging field of study for small pockets of interested scholars in Varisia.


Runescarred Dedication (Feat 2)

Uncommon
Archetype
Dedication

Archetype Runescarred
Prerequisites trained in Arcana
Access You are from the Varisia, Lands of the Linnorm Kings, or Irrisen.

Whether through blood (if you’re Varisian or Shoanti) or by exposure to rune magic, you have become runescarred, with visible, glowing runes on your body in the form of tattoos or scars. You might have possessed these marks before gaining the archetype, but you only truly became runescarred when you chose to study and tap into the runes’ power. You become an expert in Arcana and you also become trained in Thassilon Lore, or an expert in Thassilon Lore if you were already trained in it.

Choose one cantrip from the arcane list. One of the runes on your body corresponds to the chosen cantrip, and you can cast the chosen cantrip as an innate arcane spell.

Special You cannot select another dedication feat until you have gained two other feats from the runescarred archetype.

6th Level Runescarred Feats


Living Rune (Feat 6)

Archetype

Archetype Runescarred
Prerequisites Runescarred Dedication

You’ve bridged a connection between the runes on your body and the magic of runestones, allowing you to place an armor rune on your living flesh. Your body can hold a single property rune; you can’t etch a property rune on your body if it has requirements on the type or category of armor or if the property would affect the armor instead of its wearer. If you wear armor, you gain the property rune’s effects in addition to any effects of that armor.


Warding Rune (Feat 6)

Archetype

Archetype Runescarred
Prerequisites Runescarred Dedication

Your runes provide a warding effect that protects you against a specific school of magic. Choose a school of magic other than divination. You gain a rune on your body corresponding to that school, and you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to all saving throws against effects of that school.
