Hoard Manager Archetype

Hoard Manager

Dragons are often solitary creatures–but not always. As they amass power, the demands of their station require more and more of their time, and some matters must be delegated. This is where a hoard manager comes into play. Part agent and part bookkeeper, these dedicated individuals ensure that a fortune dragon's coins are stacked just so, that a conspirator dragon's books are in order, or that a vizier dragon's plans are properly kept up to date.

Their skills may seem unassuming, but hoard managers are often surprisingly capable adventurers. After all, it takes a certain amount of courage to tell an omen archdragon that their decades-old prophetic clay tablets will need to be either stored extradimensionally or thrown out. Some dragons even utilize their hoard managers as field agents, either to secure new goods for the hoard or to carry out their schemes.

Feats

Hoard Manager Dedication

Feat 2


archetypededication

Prerequisites trained in Society, employed by a dragon


You become an expert in Society and gain the Eye for Numbers skill feat. If you already have that feat, you gain a different 1st-level skill feat you qualify for instead.

Additionally, you're an expert in finding hidden objects and discarded trinkets quickly and efficiently. When you Search, you may use your Society modifier in place of your Perception modifier.

When you select this feat, choose a type of dragon to represent your Hoardkeeper, the dragon whose hoard you manage. Feats from this archetype with the Magical trait also have the trait of your Hoardkeeper's magical tradition (Arcane for Fortune, for example).

Feat 6


archetype

Prerequisite Hoard Manager Dedication


Your Hoardkeeper demands that standards be kept–and that you and any other hoard managers maintain those standards. As such, you can spot flaws in an opponent's weapons and gear at a glance. You use Eye for Numbers targeting a creature, then Feint or Create a Diversion against that same creature.

Down to the Last Coin

Feat 7


archetypeskill

Prerequisites Hoard Manager Dedication, master in Society


Even with a brief glance at a stack of scrolls or a pile of coins, you're confident in your ability to track any changes. When you use Eye for Numbers, you learn the exact number of visually similar items in the group, rather than rounding. You still can't use this to count things that normally can't be counted, such as grains of sand on a beach.

Your precision and confidence can throw off even trained foes. When you Create a Diversion with Society using the benefit of Eye for Numbers, you can target a single creature within 30 feet and use the following success and critical success effects instead of the normal results. If you do, the action gains the Auditory and Linguistic traits as normal for distracting words.

Critical Success The target becomes Stupefied 1 until it takes an Interact action to check if you were actually correct. Once the condition ends, they become temporarily immune to this effect for 1 hour.

Success As critical success, but the condition ends automatically after 1 round.

Feat 8


archetypeconcentratemagicalmanipulate

Prerequisite Hoard Manager Dedication

Frequency once per day

Requirement You have a hand free.


Your rapport with your Hoardkeeper dragon has advanced to the point where they trust you to use some lesser items from their hoard–as long as you return them safe and sound, of course. You pull one common magic item of half your level or lower that lacks the Consumable trait from an extradimensional portal into your free hand. If it requires investment, you may invest in the item immediately as long as you aren't at your investment limit.

You are obliged to return the item within 1 hour, which you can do as a two-action activity with the Manipulate, Concentrate, and Magical traits. If the item is not returned, or if it has been damaged, you cannot use this feat again until you spend at least one day of downtime working for (and apologizing to) your Hoardkeeper.

Hoardkeeper's Library a

Feat 10


archetypeconcentratemagicalmanipulate

Prerequisite Hoard Manager Dedication

Frequency once per hour

Requirement You have a hand free.


Your Hoardkeeper has an expansive library or a magical pool of knowledge that you can access on a limited basis. You summon forth a relevant tome until the end of your next turn or until you aren't holding the tome, whichever comes first. Choose a Lore. While consulting the tome, you count as being Trained in that lore.
