  has acquired the following 
   
  Hound of Trithereon 
  Version 1.1 
   
  The most recent addition to the Yeoman pantheon is the god Trithereon (CG liberty, individuality, retribution).  The following of Trithereon, 
  although new, is a widespread phenomenon throughout the Sheldomar Valley.  The Yeoman national character has proven extremely fertile 
  ground for this faith—though the Yeomen create Lawful institutions, many of them are Chaotic in their hearts and prefer to cling to such free-
  spirited gods.  With his emphasis on freedom and individuality, the faith of Trithereon was almost custom-made to the democratic Yeomen, 
  particularly the young.  However, this chaotic slant often puts Trithereon worshippers at conflict with the Yeoman authorities, making them 
  “roguish” in the eyes of many Yeomen.   
   
  Active worshippers of Trithereon in the Yeomanry (often referred to has his Hounds) pride themselves on their community service and their 
  attachment to Yeoman patriotism.  Those who are actually granted divine spells by Trithereon (referred to as his Falcons), feel the need for 
  even greater commitment to his cause. 
   
  Worshippers of Trithereon are not required to become Hounds or Falcons. However, more passive worshippers do not gain any of the benefits 
  below. 
   
  Prerequisites 
  • 
  The PC wishing to become a Hound or Falcon must be an active worshipper of Trithereon—it must say as much on the PC’s character 
  sheet. 
   
  Requirements 
  • 
  Hounds must put up a 100gp initiation fee, showing their seriousness and dedication to the cause by staking some of their own fortune in 
  it. 
  • 
  Hounds must spend 4 TUs per calendar year, which reflects a PC’s active participation in supporting the Faith in manners such as 
  teaching weapon skills to commoners, escorting refugees from the Hold of the Sea Princes, assisting in the conversion of others to the 
  Faith, and so forth. This TU expenditure must be noted on an Adventure Record and signed by a LG judge or Triad member.  Failure to 
  spend or track these TUs by the end of a given calendar year leads to suspension from the Faith until atoned for. 
  • 
  Hounds may be “activated” during regional scenarios and be expected to perform the adventure without any form of paid compensation 
  (other than booty gained during the adventure) if the mission is of great importance to the furthering of the Faith.  Adventures falling into 
  this category will specifically say as much. 
  • 
  Although it is not required, Hounds are encouraged to tithe a portion of their income to the Faith. 
   
  Benefits 
  • 
  Hounds receive the direct blessing of Summoner, and clerics of Trithereon will perform marriages, funerals, blessings, and other 
  sacraments for the PC.  In addition, the DC for determining if a desired divine spell is available to a PC is reduced by 2, and the gp cost 
  of such spells is reduced by 10%.  (See YEO-R2, Purchasing Divine and Arcane Spells in the Yeomanry, for exact details.)  Note that 
  this is ONLY available to Hounds and Falcons, and the donating spellcaster must also be an active worshipper of Trithereon.  
  Furthermore, due to the decentralized nature of the Faith and its newness in the Yeomanry, there is a 20% chance that no Falcon of the 
  required level is available to cast the spell.  The Hound must then pay the full cost per YEO-R2. 
  • 
  Due to the emphasis placed on the breeding of dogs by the worshippers of Trithereon, Hounds and Falcons can have the ability to 
  purchase Yeoman Fellhounds, a hardy tracking and hunting dog native to the Yeomanry.  These dogs are identical to riding dogs (per the 
  Monster Manual) save they have an extra +1 hit point per die (or 2d8+6 hp) due to their increased Constitution (17 instead of 15).  These 
  dogs cost 125 gp, and the Fellhound’s upkeep costs 5 gp above and beyond the character’s normal lifestyle cost. 
  • 
  Hounds of Trithereon have access to the following Feats, provided they meet all other requirements: Improved Shield Bash (DotF), 
  Power Lunge (S&F).   
  • 
  Hounds of Trithereon have access to the Vigilante (S&S) Prestige Class, provided they meet all other requirements. 
  • 
  Hounds of Trithereon gain access to Gauntlets of Ogre Power. 
  • 
  Hounds of Trithereon may upgrade any of their magical armor, shields, or weapons to a +2 enhancement bonus per the DMG.  The 
  Hound must pay the cost difference between the old item and the improved one.  This may be done to as many items as they like.  If 
  capable of crafting the new item, the member may pay only half of this difference along with 1 XP for each 25gp spent.
