Requirements

Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Steel legionnaires do not grant any additional weapon or armor proficiency.

Legion Knowledge (Ex): A steel legionnaire collects knowledge and news from all over Ansalon by staying in contact with her cell and sharing news with others. A steel legionnaire may make a special Legion Knowledge check with a bonus equal to her character level + her Intelligence modifier to see whether she knows any relevant information about local people, history, faraway places, or recent events. The steel legionnaire may not take 10 or take 20 on this check;this sort of knowledge is essentially random. The DM determines the Difficulty Class of the check by referring to the table below. If the check fairs by 5 or more, the legionnaire produces false information, garnered second- or third-hand.

Favored Enemy (Ex): At 1st level. a steel legionnaire selects a favored enemy from the following list of foes who oppose the Legion of Steel: chromatic dragons, draconians, dragon spawn, goblins, Knights of Solamnia, Knights of Neraka, and minotaurs. The legionnaire gains a +2 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Survival checks when using these skill against creatures of this type. Likewise, she gets a +2 bonus on weapon damage roll against creatures of this type, and creatures of this type suffer a -1 penalty on their saving throws against spells and spell-like, supernatural, or extraordinary abilities the steel legionnaire uses against them. If the legionnaire already has one or more favored enemies (such as by having levels in the ranger class), her bonus against any one selected favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2. If she has selected a category of favored enemies (such as dragons, goblinoids, or humans) that includes the more specific favored enemy she chooses as a legionnaire, the bonuses stack when dealing with the specific foe. For example, a ranger / steel legionnaire who has a +4 bonus against dragons from her ranger levels and a +2 bonus against chromatic dragons from her legionnaire levels gains a total of +6 bonus against chromatic dragons. At 3rd level, a steel legionnaire selects a second favored enemy from the list above, and her bonus against one selected favored enemy (including the one just selected, if so desired) increases by +2.

Reputation (Ex): Steel legionnaires are widely regarded as champions of the common people. When dealing with working-class or poor individuals, steel legionnaires of 2nd level or higher gain a +4 circumstance bonus on Bluff and Diplomacy checks.

Apprentice: At 3rd level, a steel legionnaire has the option of taking on an apprentice. This apprentice is a cohort whose abilities are determined exactly as though the character had the Leadership feat (although she cannon gain followers as a result of this ability). The steel legionnaire is responsible for training this apprentice in the Legacy and the work of the Legion, as well for protecting him from danger and corruption.
