Son Of Odin
Making a Son Of Odin
A Son Of Odin is a warrior of the Norse gods. With the exception of feats of strength granted to him by the gods, he has a disdain for magic and those who use. A Son Of Odin can get along great with any class that relies solely on their martial prowess, respect Druids and Rangers as they are in tune with natural forces, respect Paladins and Clerics as they are embodiment of that which they worship much like the Sons Of Odin themselves. They somewhat get along with Sorcerers as they use magic as it comes naturally to them, just as the sword arm of a Son Of Odin is to him, but will often turn the other cheek for it's use. They hold a distaste for Wizards as they have no natural prowess with their magic. They do not like Rouges, as many Sons feel they are dishonorable. A Son Of Odin could talk with a Bard for days as they love to share and hear tales of battle, glory and honor.
Abilities: Strength and Constitution are a Sons Of Odin's key abilities. Dexterity and Wisdom are good to have, as they help the Son Of Odin move through and perceive the battlefield, and a sharp mind is good but not as necessary and they may try to be polite. A Son Of Odin usually keeps what they have to say short.
Races: Any, however because the Nordic religion comes from Humans, they are the most common race to become a Son. It isn't common for Dwarves to be Sons, and all other races view them as savage and barbarous.
Alignment: Any non-Good.
Religion: Sons of Odin must worship a god or gods consisting of: Odin, Thor, Loki, Eir, Hiln, Hoar, Ran, or Ullr.
Starting Gold: 4d6×10 gp (100 gp).
Starting Age: "Moderate" or "As fighter".

Ex-Sons Of Odin
An Ex-Son Of Odin is someone that willingly used or let someone use a friendly spell on him, with the exception of the Norse gods, or his alignment changes to a restricted alignment. The Son will lose all abilities except bonus feats, Norse Physique (and Epic, if applicable) and Impressive Bulk. In order to regain his power as a Son, he must, by himself, build a temple that will suit Odin, Thor, and Freya. From there, he must pray to them and bring them worthy sacrifices without stop for 7 days and 7 nights. It will be then that the Son will feel his power return to him. In the case of an alignment change, he must simply need to revert his alignment away from the restricted alignment, and make a prayer to Odin. Throughout either of these two paths, he can not receive any use of Atonement or abilities and spells that affect or disguise alignment.
