Naffatun (Apath)

Unofficial rules compendium

Named after the chemical naphta used in the creation of alchemist's fire, naffatun are warriors trained both in regular combat and in bomb-throwing. They have basic training in alchemy, but only enough to fashion their infamous bombs. The main part of their skill lies in combat, but they expand their alchemical abilities as they gain experience, mastering more than just simple fire bombs.

Often trained as military units, naffatuni are notoriously dangerous to both themselves, enemies, and allies, which means such units often take heavy casualties and are disbanded even before they finish training. A common origin for heroic naffatun is to be one of the few survivors of such a disaster.

Class Abilities

These are all of the class abilities of the naffatun.

Class Skills

The naffatun's class skills are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Disable Device (Dex), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Perception (Wis), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Stealth (Dex), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

Skill Ranks per Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A naffatun is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with light armor, medium armor, and shields (including tower shields). A naffatun cannot use his fighting style class feature in heavy armor.

Alchemical Weapon (Su)

A naffatun can infuse a weapon or piece of ammunition with a single harmful alchemical liquid or powder, such as alchemist’s fire or sneezing powder, as a move action. This action consumes the alchemical item, but transfers its effect to the weapon in question.

The alchemical item takes full effect on the next creature struck by the weapon, but does not splash, spread, or otherwise affect additional targets. Any extra damage added is treated like bonus dice of damage, and is not doubled on a critical hit. The alchemical treatment causes no harm to the weapon treated, and wears off 1 minute after application if no blow is struck. At 8th level, a naffatun can use her alchemical weapon ability as a swift action. At 16th level, this ability becomes a free action.
