Mentys Serpentine, Oread Geomancer

Yea! After I wrote out all that stuff about the phylactery of Ozturk Akeley, Hand of the King Undying , I set about making a Occultist as a helper NPC for the game. I don't normally play a character in my own games, but I need a guy to help like, coordinate the PCs and provide easy repiping for the tenuous plot ( you have to tell them like 5 times because they don't catch on fast. If they're not being attacked, its like they don't connect shit ) . They don't need help fighting, they need help figuring shit out . So I made one of the coolest characters I've ever made for pathfinder : Mentys Serpentine, Oread Geomancer. Oreads are people made of minerals. He's an occultist ( geomancer is a kind of occultist that focuses on terrain ) specializing in abjuration and divination. Divination is extremely useful for a gm character . Anyway, he's made of clear rock crystals , with a blue ioun stone for a third eye and coloured gems inside his clear crystal body where his chakra are. He's a philospher and traveler who follows ley lines , performing energy work on the land. He's taken notice through his divinations that there's a disturbance in the ley lines since Melisenn Kororo has reawakened the star stelae with her sacrifices ( Shes attempting to open a portal to carcosa because shes a hastur cult leader ) ( this part is all part of the campaign book ) ... the star stelae are just giant rocks really , and rocks are Mentys's specialty. The occultist is a cool support class. Since I'm not a player I was able to choose all kinds of utility stuff I normally don't get to use since I'm worrying about being combat effective. I'm gonna throw them this guy so, the next time they decide to for example , go to sleep without a watch because they can't agree on anything ( Two are chaotic evil and the other is a paladin, one of the two chaotic evil is an egomaniac in real life and the other probably has depersonalization disorder or something ) he has an alarm ward ability. He's got locate object , augury, know direction . Basically the pathfinder version of a System Administrator or white hat hacker.
