SPECIAL ABILITIES

Aether Bond (Su)

This aether soldier possesses a masterwork melee weapon crafted from depleted aetherite. This functions as a wizard’s arcane bond with a weapon.

Aetherite Familiarity

An aether soldier’s intense training and long-term handling of aetherite makes her well-acquainted with the material’s inner-working and other materials producing similar effects. She gains a +2 insight bonus on all Knowledge (arcana) checks involving aetherite.

Depleted Aetherite Greatsword

This aether soldier’s greatsword is fashioned from specially-prepared aetherite that is as hard as steel and can no longer hold an aetheric charge. However, the latent magical energy in the material allows her sword to penetrate damage reduction as if it were a magic weapon.

An aether soldier has endured exposure to radioactive aetherite (see Appendix 1: Aetherite) and has been inured to its effects while being trained to master the subtle force flux that still endures in weapons made from it.
