Chapter Two: Prestige Classes
Graven One Tales tell of sorcerers with skin like leather—or maybe even like stone. Every inch of these sorcerers’ skin is covered in tattoos, sigils, runes, and other markings. They have, quite literally, transformed themselves into living magic items. To do so, however, they undergo painful rituals that strengthen their flesh and make them hardier individuals. Wizards and sorcerers become graven ones most frequently, but the occasional bard does as well. NPC graven ones wander alone, though sometimes their abilities are seen as a such a boon, they become military leaders or enforcers for powerful masters.
Requirements To qualify to become a graven one, a character must fulfill all the following criteria: Knowledge (arcana): 5 ranks Spellcraft: 7 ranks Feats: Etch Object Rune, Item Image, Scribe Scroll, Toughness. Spellcasting: Must be able to cast 4th-level arcane spells, including at least three with the word “mark” in the title, erase, explosive runes, and sepia snake sigil Special: Must be fluent in Celestial, Draconic, and Infernal Special: Must find a third party who can cast permanency and will partake in a ritual that lasts an entire day. The character loses 4 hit points permanently, but when it is over she bears a tough, almost stonelike skin with an inherent +1 natural armor bonus. Hit Die: d6
