Regarding the Avenger and Call of the Wild:

Call of the wild - Avengers are empowered by the wilderness and nature. Whenever outside the confines of civilization, away from any artificial buildings and while not using or burdened by any of the trappings of society (including those things created or made by use of more civilized or technical means) they gain an extra two Hit Points per level. After they are gained they remain until lost and these Hit Points are lost first when injured and treated as if the damage was just shrugged off or ignored by the Avenger.
    Also, for as long as the Avenger has any of these extra Hit Points they are able to make bare handed attacks as if they had claws (doing full and not subduel damage) at an attack rate of two per round for 1d3 +Str bonus for damage. They may not hold nor use any other weapons while making these attacks. If both of these attacks hit the same target, a third attack, a bear hug, may be made and do 2d4 +Str bonus for damage.


If an orc were to be an Avenger what would the bare handed damage be?

[kluu]

It would be the same as listed above. The orc would nt gain any further damage than the human that gaiins these claw like attacks. This may seem like a rip off since they already have the same ability as a race. but it does become full damage not subduel.

Rather than think of it as unfair that the orc does not gain any thing more from this think of it as the orc being closer to the primal nature already and so a more pure worshipper of Corathal.  know that is a rook but this ability transformes the avengers hands to the claw like state it does not add a certain amount to the attack. It isnt a bonus to the normal attack it is a change to this attack like picking up a differnt weapon.  Think of it as if one person was fighting with a dagger and another with a  broad sword, if they both then change to a bastard swrod the one with the broad sword doenst' gain more power than the one changing form a dagger.

When it says clerics of Corathal "May and can only use any weapon or armor able to be created in the wild," what does that include? Like what's considered "in the wild"?  And does this mean Corathal's clerics can use spears, bow/arrows, and other pointy weapons like those?

[Suleidan]

spears with carved tips (non-metal) probably...

I think it mostly means leathers only, ... studded leather probably does not apply, though it depends on what it was studded with probably...

[Suleidan]

wooden shields, ... etc

And does this mean Corathal's clerics can use spears, bow/arrows, and other pointy weapons like those?

Well, Rambo used those... and he created it all 'in the wild' too, as far as I remember  :lol:

It's not meant to be a restriction to wood & stone weapons. ;)  It's meant to imply that a Ravager fashions his weapons more so than purchases them.  Since, it's possible to find iron ore and other items in the wild, they can still make many items that are just crude in many respects. ;)   Time to invest in those NWP's fellows. :)

THey can have pointy weapons, bows and arrows, whatever they can make without the creationof any modern technology. They can work iron and even make some steel weapons but they are not allowed to make a forge or use a blacksmithy and so it is rare for them to hae steel weapons as this only occurs randomly while working iron about one in 25 times.

I would have most of their weapons be wooden shaft and heavy club, bows, arrows, and spears, etc with flint or shell or hard bone tips. That sort of thing would be more likley than iron wepaons.

Armor cna be hide, leather, scale using bone and shell, and even hard laquored wood or exotic hides that would be like splint though a bit more encumbering.

They can pretty much use anything as long as it is found in the wilds and doesn't use any 'modern or built' technologies.

Another rarity would be finding natural resourses of high carbon steel or other alloys that could be around. I would say ther is a 1% chance of oe of hte priests having encountered this and so have a quality weapon or at least spear head or such  made out of it.

If you think of the weapons the Amercan indians were using and making before the coming of the Europeans, that is the kind of weapons they would have easily. (clubs, staves, maces, slings, bow and arrows with flint and obsidian heads, spears, short knives. some long knives, etc.. For armor leather, studded leather, hide, and ring would be easily created using natural wild resourses and with the magical cretures in the wrold other harder and more exotic hide armors could be had that could duplicate upto an AC of 4 without too much trouble.

What about a grunt axe?

[kluu]

It is made of fire hardened wood and volcanic stone, so it should be allowed, THe priest would have to find soemone to make it for them though if they aren't an orc with weaponmaking skill.
