Special Abilities

• Darkvision 60 feet
• 3/day – commanding presence (move-equivalent action 1/encounter, allies within 30 ft. gain +1 competence bonus to attacks, damage, and Will saves for 5 rounds), protection from evil (CL 3)
• 1/day – aid (CL 3), bless (CL 3), detect evil (CL 3), smite evil as Pal4 (swift action, until target dies or half-celestial rests)
• +4 save DC for spells/special abilities used against humanoids or monstrous humanoids if it deals neither lethal nor ability damage, bestow negative levels, or cause death or is dependent upon causing damage
• Constantly surrounded by a calming aura (20-ft. Radius) – creature must make Will save (DC 20) or be affected by calm emotions (mind-affecting, supernatural)
• If struck by a manufactured weapon, weapon must make Fortitude save (DC 13) or shatter
• Must not cause harm to any living creature (constructs and undead are not included in this prohibition). You may not deal real damage or ability damage to such creatures through spells or weapons, though you may deal nonlethal damage. You may not target them with death effects, disintegrate, or other spells that have the immediate potential to cause death or great harm. You also may not use nondamaging spells to incapacitate or weaken living foes so that your allies can kill them—if you incapacitate a foe, you must take him prisoner.
• Any ally of yours who slays a helpless or defenseless foe within 120 feet of you feels great remorse. Your ally takes a –1 morale penalty on his attack rolls for 1 hour per your character level. For each helpless foe slain, the attack penalty increases by 1, to a maximum equal to your character level. The duration of the increased penalty starts from the latest slaying. You may ask your allies to give you an oath that a helpless foe will not be slain. If the oath is sworn, an ally who later breaks the oath takes the penalty for doing so as if you were present. If you leave a helpless foe to be killed by your allies, you have broken your vow. You may ask a defeated creature to give you an oath of surrender or noninterference in exchange for its life. If the creature breaks this oath to you, you can allow your allies to deal with the creature as they see fit without breaking their oaths or your vow of nonviolence.
• If you intentionally break your vow, you immediately and irrevocably lose the benefit of this feat. You may not take another feat to replace it. If you break your vow as a result of magical compulsion or otherwise unwittingly, you lose the benefit of this feat until you perform a suitable penance and receive an atonement spell. (Characters who have taken a Vow of Peace are known to drink water through a strainer in order to avoid accidentally swallowing, and thereby causing harm to, a small insect.)

Passions

Rage: Ugliness. He is so used to being surrounded by the sublimest beauty that for someone or something to not be beautiful angers him; he takes it as a deliberate and offensive choice.

Fear: He knows, though he tries not to let himself know, that he is not going to be a good pharaoh.

Noble: His duty to ma'at and the Kingdoms, and the fate that goes along with it. He will do nearly anything to ensure that he becomes the pharaoh.

Role-Playing Notes

Nitarep qed Alskelbiann Namulas bi Miharbi has no idea who his mother was, but plenty of idea who his father was: the god Tum. Upon the wilayat's discovery that Tum had manifested upon ????'s mother, they swooped in. After a tense and excited nine months filled with politicking such as is rarely seen even once in a dwarf's lifetime, the waiting administrators, courtiers, and governors seized the infant, umbilical cord still dripping, and secreted him away to far Zep Tepi, the city winged by the Tomb-Riddled Cliffs, the city between the Two Kingdoms.

Since then, every breath of Nitarep qed Alskelbiann Namulas bi Miharbi's life – waking or not – has been shaped by forces far beyond his understanding and knowledge. He has never encountered want or lack, and this is the single defining characteristic of his personality. He, of course, has other characteristics: a flighty vanity, a deep and abiding cowardice, the utter lack of a desire to lift a finger in any useful way, a demand that he be entertained at all times by those around him, and a religious vow to never commit violence against another being. He's not really certain why he took those vows, but the priests and officials who have surrounded him for the last 27 years seemed to think it was a good idea. It's not really tradition, near as he can tell, for the pharaoh-to-be to take them, but those priests and officials no doubt knew what was best.

Of course, all that paints him in a fairly negative light; he has positive qualities as well. Well, at least one: a carefully-nurtured and nigh-impregnable dedication to duty and respect for religious tradition and ritual. He has been blessed by immense faith in the Teachings of the Prophet Bleghet (may they be written upon every grain of sand) and is remarkably accepting of his fated sudden death in pain and agony and fear. It's simply what must be done, for the good of the Two Kingdoms and the world. Ma'at demands it. Similarly, the vows of peace he took are not mere words to him; they are one of the few things he takes seriously and he will not break them.

For reasons of your own, you seem to have maneuvered Almah into letting you bring him along with you into the gnoll-infested village of kel-Maraneh
