Poro
Description: Poro are priests who revere the dead and draw upon the experience of their dead ancestors to guide them through life. They usually serve a village as advisor but many poro merely honor their own distinguished ancestry.

Special Benefits: 1) The poes start out by rolling percentile dice for their Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma similar manner to fighters with 18 strength. This number is added to the candy level there after a further 2410 are rolled and added to these p tiles. When the percentile cos nach or exceed 100, a point is added to the ability and the excess is applied to the now ability score.
For example: a character has a 15/96 wisdom. He gains a level and rolls 2d10. The result is 14 points. The new score for wisdom is 16/10 (96 +4 for 100 to 16, then the remainder of 14 which is 10 added to the 16 for 16/10). These abilities may be increased to a maximum of 19 each through this method; 2) The poro has a chance of knowing the lore about a per- son, place, or thing when encountered. The average of the poros Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma is checked against the roll of a d20. If the roll is less than the average, then the poro knows the proper- ties, history, and identity of the object, thing, or person. The poro must study the subject closely for one full turn before this can be achieved; 3) The poro receives six starting nonweapon proficiency slots at first level, and gains one additional slot for every two levels gained thereafter.
Special Hindrances: 1) The poro may wear no armor and may not carry a shield; 2) The poro must meditate for two hours each day in addition to what he needs to pray for spells and rest. This meditation must be performed at the same time each day and if not performed, he acts as if one level lower in all respects until the meditation is performed. This loss is cumulative, so that if three nights of meditation are missed, the character acts at three levels below his level until he meditates; two levels lower until he medi- tates a second time; and one level lower until he can meditate a third time.
