Spells:

Lvl 0 –

Stabilize - Upon casting this spell, you target a living creature that has –1 or fewer hit points. That creature is automatically stabilized and does not lose any further hit points. If the creature later takes damage, it continues dying normally.

Mending - This spell repairs damaged objects, restoring 1d4 hit points to the object. If the object has the broken condition, this condition is removed if the object is restored to at least half its original hit points. All of the pieces of an object must be present for this spell to function. Magic items can be repaired by this spell, but you must have a caster level equal to or higher than that of the object. Magic items that are destroyed (at 0 hit points or less) can be repaired with this spell, but this spell does not restore their magic abilities. This spell does not affect creatures (including constructs). This spell has no effect on objects that have been warped or otherwise transmuted, but it can still repair damage done to such items.

History:

Already blessed with a happy marriage, financial success, and four beautiful, healthy children, Montgomery and Barbara Tenneskir were overjoyed to welcome their fifth baby into the world. The celebration was short, however, when it became apparent that something was very wrong with baby Bastien.

The best physicians in Silvermont and the surrounding areas were brought in to assess the child and they very quickly came to the conclusion that he was very nearly blind. Mr. and Mrs. Tenneskir did their best to accommodate the needs of their youngest and things were alright for a couple years.

Unfortunately, when he became old enough to walk about on his own, it became harder to deal with his disability and on top of that, he began to suffer from frequent night terrors and episodes that they could only assume were seizures. Once again, the physicians were called. There were many consultations and many tears.

Barbara blamed herself. Perhaps she had done something wrong. She was getting a little old to have another baby. Perhaps she and Montgomery should have been more careful.

After hours of discussion and arguments and months of worry, it was finally decided that if little Bastien could never have a normal life, he would be better off somewhere safe, where people would be patient, understanding, and able to give him a bit of an education and purpose. And so it was, at the age of six years old, young Bastien Tenneskir was sent off to an isolated monastery where monks of Ilmater led quiet lives and ran a small school devoted to educating and caring for children with severe mental and physical handicaps.

Bastien thrived. He enjoyed the quiet peaceful life at the monastery and excelled at his studies. In spite of his near-blindness and occasional episodes, he proved to be a first rate scholar and a fine calligrapher. During visitation weeks, his parents always came to see him and on holidays, they brought him home so that he could be around his siblings.

For years, the arrangement worked out wonderfully for everyone. Bastien was content where he was and his parents were happy to know that he was safe and sound and at the same time, relieved to not have to shoulder the additional responsibility of a special needs child. But as he grew older, Bastien grew keenly aware of how different his family treated him compared to his brothers and sisters. Everyone spoke with pride about how his siblings were establishing careers, getting married, and starting families of their own, but when it came to Bastien, there was always a pause. It was never, “Bastien is doing so well in his studies!” but rather, “Bastien is doing so well in his studies, given his condition.”

He began to realize that while the monks were good men, they pitied him, pitied all the students in their school, and his parents, like everyone else’s, considered him a burden. That was why they had all been sent away. The revelation stung him to the core.

That was when the plan began to form.

Over the course of a few years, Bastien saved up the little bits of pocket money that his parents and family members gave him to play around with on trips home. At the age of eighteen, when he had enough that he would be able to buy some supplies, equipment, and a few nights in inns, he ran away from the monastery and made his way to the nearest town.

There, he bought himself some basic gear and prepared to set off on new adventures, determined to prove to his family and everyone else that he was just as capable as any of them.
