This article uses the Third Edition of the Dungeons & Dragons rules. Content may be incompatible with the latest version of the rules.

Aralos is a sailor formerly aboard the Golden Dawn. Following the death of the ship's captain, Aralos disembarked in Kingsport, where he met Hilgard and joined his quest to find Gavengard. While Hilgard sought treasure and his people's history, Aralos hoped to discover an ancient ship design rumored to be faster than anything currently plying the high seas.

A dashing swashbuckler, Aralos is daring in battle, hearty in celebration, and fearless with the ladies.

Combat

Aralos fights two-weapon style with his rapier and dagger. He likes to wend his way about the battlefield, seeking flanking advantages so that he can use his sneak attack.

Half-elf traits: Half-elves share the following traits:

• Elven Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-elf is considered an elf.
• Immunity to sleep spells and similar magical effects.
• +2 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells and effects.
• +1 racial bonus on Listen, Search and Spot checks.

Sneak attack: +2d6.

Evasion: When wearing light or no armor and subjected to an attack that deals half damage on a successful Reflex saving throw, Aralos instead takes no damage with a successful save.

Favored enemy: Animals (+1). Against creatures of the selected type(s), a ranger gains the associated bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot and Wilderness Lore checks. He also adds this bonus to weapon damage rolls unless (a) the target is immune to critical hits, or (b) the ranger is using a ranged weapon at a distance greater than 30 feet.

Ranger two-weapon fighting: When wearing light or no armor, Aralos can fight with two weapons as though with the feats Ambidexterity and Two-Weapon Fighting. This bonus does not apply to double-headed weapons.

Uncanny dodge: Aralos retains his Dexterity bonus to AC even when caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. He still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized.
