Araris -The Champion-

This is an optional route for Araris to have went. Its possible that he chose to ascend to god hood and become a demi-god, however, due to his deeds and behavior, he was more than likely wisked away to the side of Tor'kir. As a symbol of a Champion, Araris inspires those to believe in themselves to accomplish anything set in front of them. Araris, as a demigod, can now bear the weight of worship.

The symbol of Araris is that of a silver shield with a red rose upon it

Followers of Araris must choose one domain from Tor'kir's list, and another from the domain list for Araris. His domains are as follows.

Dream / Renewal / Strength

To believe in oneself is to create reality. The aspect of dream is often tied to Araris, for it was through visions that he moved forward in his tasks. Monks and priests worshipping Araris through the dream domain often do so as a means of self reflection, finding out what could be, by simply applying will. Many also worship Araris due to the fact that no matter how many times he was struck down, he refused to die, Some worship him as a god of renewal, an everfull font of living energy that constantly renews, allowing a questing knight, or even a motivated beggar, to get through his trials in the face of anything, even death. Finally, Araris was an example that by applying strength to motivation, one could overcome any foe. In the end, no matter how tough his foe, Araris became stronger. Such is the example he sets forth, if an obstacle presents itself. Overcome that obstacle by becoming better than it.

Those worshipping Araris tap into his power more so than Tor'kir's power, and so use his optional turn attempt.

Followers of Araris can spend a turn attempt as a swift action to create a hand held weapon of masterwork quality. The weapon fades away at the beginning of the priests next round, or if the weapon is dropped. Alternatively, if a weapon is already held, it instead gets a +1 enhancement bonus. This bonus fades away as above. This bonus stucks with other enhancement bonus's given to magical weapons, up to a maximum of a +5 weapon.
