Path of the Runic Marauder

In Ancient times, when a lone Dwarven stronghold stood against a horde of Demons set lose from the nine hells bent on the very destruction on the world. Runemasters devised a process of inscribing powerful magic runes on the flesh of their bravest warriors. Three runes and one master rune could be inscribed on warriors bodies but no more unless the warriors body would be sundered by the magics coursing through them. Originally discovered by Runemasters of Dwarfs, the secrets of the Runes have past to Ruemasters of other races over the millennia so that their people can benefit from have these warriors defending their lands.

At 3rd level, when you adopt this path you choose your first rune from one of two Runic pillars that are presented here, the Runes of Power or the Runes of Protection. At level 6,10,14 you will choose another rune.
