Baelnorn

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
Baelnorns are elves who have sought undeath to serve their families, communities, or other purposes (usually to see a wrong righted or to achieve a certain magical discovery or deed). They are lich-like creatures that appear as impressive-looking elves with shriveled skin and glowing white eyes.

- Hit Die: d4.
- Proficiencies: The Baelnorn gains no additional weapon or armor proficiencies.
- Skill Points: 2 + Int Modifier.

REQUIREMENTS:

Race: Elf.
Skills: Concentration 5, Spellcraft 14.
Class : 11 levels in Sorcerer, Wizard, or Cleric
Alignment: Any Good
Must not have any levels in Lich.


Note: Upon reaching level 4, the Baelnorn is fully undead, and therefore is immune to sneak attacks, critical hits, level drain, poison, and disease. An undead creature has no Constitution score. However, this is not possible in Neverwinter Nights. The player will gain +12 to constitution in order to simulate the increase of the Baelnorn's HD to d12.

Thanks: Special thanks to Stratovarius for his help and guidance, Ornedan and Primogenitor for their scripting prowess, Lord Deimos909 for his work on the template, Silver for his great icons, and Shane Hennesey for letting me take a look at the lich. Thanks also to all those who helped with input and scripting advice that I haven't mentioned here.
