Scro Saboteur

	Description: The Scro Saboteur is a weapons expert skilled in the use of
explosives an poison to destroy bridges, enemy bases, spelljamming vessels
and other important military targets. The Saboteur is trained to carry out
his mission in a small amount of time and return to friendly forces while
causing the most damage to enemy(Elven) forces.

	Role: The Scro Saboteur represents the most deadly soldier amongst the scro
forces. Cunning to the core, the Scro Saboteur is seen as an elite warrior
among the scro, which in itself is a high honor. Scro live to fight and blow
things up; two things the Scro Saboteur excels in.

	Secondary Skills: Up to the DM

	Weapon Proficiencies: Any as per warrior class.

	Nonweapon Proficiencies: Bonus: Survival, demolitions(new). Recommended:
(General) Observation; (Wizard) Engineering-does not require the loss of an
extra slot, (Warrior) Set Snares, Survival.

	Equipment: Scro Saboteurs can purchase equipment as normal for their class.
Also, smokepowder bombs will be given out to the Saboteur upon taking a mission.

	Special Benefits: Scro Saboteurs work fairly often with explosives, and are
given smokepowder bombs. However, the Saboteur's commanders decide how much
smokepowder bombs the Saboteur will carry. Wasteful use of smokepowder is
extremely discouraged, and abuse of this benefit will result in the Saboteur
being discharged or worse, killed.
	Also, Saboteur's work with poisons, although not as often as with
smokepowder. Scro Saboteurs main targets when working with poison are food
and water stockpiles, ventilation ducts in military bases, and in
spelljammers. Although poison is much more common compared to smokepowder,
the DM is advised not to be overly generous to low level Saboteurs.
	At first level, Scro Saboteurs gain the natural ability to produce delayed
flame(described later) three times per day. This is an innate ability to
call into being a spell that will trigger their bombs. This minor ability is
gained from their training with the scro warpriests. The ability is useful
only for igniting smokepowder bombs, or setting fire to wooden buildings and
dry fields. The spell itself cannot cause significant damage if cast upon a
creature(1 hp of damage max). They gain an additional produce delayed flame
ability per day for each level they gain.
	Scro Saboteurs are also able to use wizard and priest scrolls, which come
in handy if the Saboteur has run out of his alloted delayed flame spells.
	Special Hindrances: Scro Saboteurs must return to a scro base or
spelljammer fairly soon after their mission in order to report to superiors
and to re-stock on bombs and poisons.
	Also, enemy forces are likely to attack a Scro Saboteur on sight, as the
ability to destroy is well known.

	Wealth Options: Same as for Warriors.



New Proficiencies:

Demolitions:
1 slot; Warrior
Intelligence, no modifier
Demolitions provides the character with an advanced knowledge in the use and
workings of explosives and detonation devices for the purpose of blowing up
bridges, buildings and sabotage. The character is able to determine the best
placement of the explosive device in order to maximize the destructive
blast. It also means the strategic placement of mines and booby traps. This
will increase the character's awareness of suspicious rope, string and wire.
