__TOC__
==Overview==
Tempus is the god of war and the lord of battles. What sort of conflict can one have without weapons at the ready? The battleforges of Tempus are the weaponers of the church, clerics who seem to be a bit too fond of "field-testing" their creations.
==Description==
One bard has wryly observed that battleforges are "the least banged-up of the clergy of Tempus," since battleforges spend much of their time in the weapon foundries. Their task is to make new weapons and armor as the church priests need or demand them.
The average battleforge wears a sturdy suit of plate armor with a blood-red sash worn diagonally across the chest from shoulder to hip. They favor warhammers and swords in combat. Battleforges never wear helmets.
==Role-Playing==
Imagine a blacksmith who creates a set of horseshoes and then cannot resist immediately putting them on a horse and riding it twenty miles. Battleforges come from such a mindset. They see the forging of every weapon or suit of armor as an act of devotion.
==Special Abilities==
Battleforges immediately start out with a suit of plate mail and the choice of one weapon.
By looking at any weapon, suit of armor, or shield, a battleforge can correctly discern its magical bonuses and any special abilities.
Using nonmagical weapons they themselves forged, battleforges can attack and damage monsters that normally requires a magical weapon to hit.
==Special Disadvantages==
Battleforges cannot cast spells from the Animal, Healing, or Plant spheres, nor can they turn undead.
