Air and Stone
Prestige class: Force Driver(Air and Stone) THIRD DRAFT
Followers of Air and Stone are often known as Force Drivers.
Force Drivers use Force to weld the two most disparate tangible fundaments into an uneasy union, the keen swiftness of Air guiding their aim, the heavy brutality of Stone aiding their strikes. They can use their art with any handheld ranged weapon, be it a simple river pebble, improvised club, alchemical bag, potion bottle, dart, arrow from any bow, bolt, javelin, missile from a hand onager, etc.
Force Drivers are masters of awareness, and their eagle eyes are legendary. In addition, their affinity with air means they are amazingly accurate over range, able to hit targets others will surely miss. At the same time, their affinity with Stone assures they hit those targets with driving force, easily as hard as any warrior swinging a greatsword can manage.
Force Drivers are growing rare in the Empire as magicians take the stage, but their mix of lethal skills will remain viable for a long time to come.
