Backstory:
Baererfel Bumblebottom was a unique being, even when it came to Gnomes. Raised from the tiny Gnomeling he was, Baererfel (Baer for short) was the typical Rock Gnome, not having a care in the world. Loving life, loving nature and loving to tinker, he’d grown to learn the basics of it all. The sound of cogs turning with steam and arcane energies at its core, the sound of nature around him and the feel of a good burrow around him at night to sleep had been the perfect life for the Gnome. It wasn’t until the young age of thirty nine that Baer’s life took a drastic turn for what some would say, was the worst.
On the cusp of maturing, Baer had chosen to go into Peristyle Park as he had numerous times being Zyonite-born. Though as he went further and further into the forest, Baer’s curiosity seemed to get the best of him and brought him deeper than ever before. What was supposed to be a day in the Park turned to two days, which bled into four and soon, weeks had gone by and nobody had seen the Gnome. For years, Baer lost himself in the mystical areas of Peristyle Park, having lost all concern for the outside world. His desire to be with nature, to heal it, to take care of it overrode the Tinker Gnome in him and because of this, instead of winding up as a Mage of some type; Nature warped his sense of duty and warped the arcane magic he could channel. Soon, the elements and spirits of nature tore away his religious convictions that Gnomish society had taught him and replaced them with Natural knowledge of Garl Glittergold and Baervan Wildwanderer. Acting on their behalf, he raised animals in the forest, drew in natural power from spirits and Nature itself. It wasn’t long before he felt he was an Avatar of sorts for Baervan Wildwanderer, taking care of the forest, its plant life, and its animals. Because of this, the mysticism of the forest warped the Gnome’s mind and turned him from a genius with tinkering and magic, to a slightly insane-minded aspect of nature.
Nearly eighty years in the wild, with no desire to return to proper civilization, Baer had come across a few travelers, travelers that spoke of a group of people who had done a great thing. A sect worshiping the undead spirits of the world had begun burning and sapping the life of nature itself to further their goals. The group had contracted people, ordinary people to fix it and stop the chaos that was being wrought upon Nature. This intrigued him to the point that the Gnome exposed himself to the travelers and demanded to know where this Nature-loving place was. Of course, they just thought he was insane as he wore clothing made of leaves, bark flowers. With a bit of club thwapping, a display of his insane use of magic and a promise to show them a quicker way from the forest, he was soon on his way to this group that he had heard of... After all, how bad could they be? A group called Obsidian Heart had to be good. They had a heart in their name!

This works for 10 minutes per Gemstone Rank, once per adventure. (Crystal: 10 minutes)
Flaws:
-Love of Nature: Your love of the natural world is so great that you find it difficult to attack natural creatures. Penalty:You must roll a Willpower Check DC15, in order to attack a natural creature unless it has specifically attacked you.
-Curiosity: You’re a naturally curious person and you find mysteries of any sort irresistible. In most circumstances, alas, your curiosity overrides your common sense. Once per game session, the DM or another player can activate this flaw to force you to investigate something unusual, even if it looks like it might be dangerous. You must roll a willpower check (DC15) to keep yourself from otherwise touching, pressing, or investigating what has caught your eye. In addition, you suffer a -2 penalty to checks such as Insight when being seduced, being tricked into a trap of some sort, or any similar situation in which your curiosity can be piqued and may outweight your better judgement.
-Strange Luck: Fate has a strange way with you. Penalty: When you roll a critical fail ‘1’ on strike, the closest creature (ally or enemy) to you falls prone (DM May randomly choose if multiples). When you roll a natural critical hit of ‘20’ on a strike, the closest creature (ally or enemy) to you heals 10hp (DM may randomly choose if multiples).

General/Combat Skills:
-Acrobatic: You have excellent coordination and can take a +5 to all Acrobatics checks. (Crystal)

-Eldritch Focus: This skill allows a spellcaster to double their Intelligence (INT) bonus for damage when casting an attack-based regged spell. If your regged spell does damage (Attack, AoE Attack, Duals that include Attack or AoE Attack) then you may double your INT bonus for damage once per combat when you cast a regged attack spell in combat. (Crystal)
-Iron Will: You have extreme willpower, giving you a +1/+2/+3/+4 to any Willpower Checks. Willp-ower is what you use to fight against mental, emotional, and magical effects, spells and powers.

-Answering Spirits: A shaman/mystic may ask questions of the spirit world that will actually be answered. The shaman may ask a number of questions per day equal to their Intelligence modifier (work with the DM for this). (Topaz)
-Spirit of Life: The spirit of a golden owl alights on your ally's shoulder and flutters off, carrying with it that friend's aches and wounds. This heals up to as many points as your Intelligence Bonus, and can be used once per combat, whether it is your turn on the scoreboard or not, and can be used to bring someone back from the brink of death if they are not over 5 points past their max hit points. (Topaz)
Defense Skills:
-Arcane Image: A spell caster can become pure magical energy, allowing them to take no damage from any one physical attack during combat. (Crystal)
