Martial Arts Powers:
Demon Wrestling.
Like the standard wrestling skill, except tougher and filled with lots and lots of dirty tricks.
Gouging, biting, and illegal strikes all take place in Demon Wrestling
The character learns to surreptitiously deliver a gouge, jab, poke, or otherwise attack a pain sensitive area (victim must save vs pain). Also includes practice of acting innocent when accused ("who? me?").
The character learns to convincingly act like a foul blow did grievous pain and damage, complete with wincing, moans and groans
Control Revulsion.
The character's training consists of being exposed to the most horrible, graphic, and disgusting sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures that the trainer can imagine.
For example, not only would the character have to visit a morgue (preferably, immediately after it's been filled with several victims from a disaster like an airplane crash), but the character would be expected to sleep in a pile of bodies.
The character develops a certain, shall we say, resistance, to horror factor.

Familiar: Corzin Tree Runner
The Corzin Tree Runner resembles a large city rat in size and coloration, but with an additional, middle set of legs, and a long, prehensile tail.
The back legs are larger for leaping and running.
They are arboreal by nature, and are superb climbers and leapers in the trees with their long, clawed feet.
The middle set of limbs are used to enhance their climbing ability, using the extra set of claws for moving both quickly and securely up and down trees and bushes.
They also will use the extra limbs for a raking attack upon their prey, if given the opportunity.
They are a pack-oriented creature, with a vicious temperament.
They will attack anything intruding in their territory, threatening their young, or interrupting their hunt.
The Runners live high in the mature trees, using the limbs of the trees themselves as "tree roads" much like a game trail on the ground.
Experienced Rangers, Elves, foresters or anyone acquainted with fauna lore, may be able to spot the barren branches or worn bark on the main tree itself, used as the roads.
The Runners use the roads to track prey, or just to travel between tree tops, moving silently and swiftly among the leaves.
They are vicious carnivores by nature, and will also scavenge for food from abandoned corpses or drive off or kill other animals with food.
They are known to be unerring in their attacks, striking areas of the body that will bleed profusely, to bring down prey.
They are also able to track a blood scent for miles, and go into a blood frenzy if aroused by large quantities of blood.
They will also sometimes go into a frenzy if a large, powerful enemy attacks the communal nests, not giving up until dead.
Even a party of many well equipped, experienced adventurers is better off quietly slipping away when seeing a pack of Tree Runners in blood frenzy or realizing they are in the territory or homes of the Runners.
Limitations & Notes about the Familiar Spell:
This link is permanent, producing a rather impressive symbiotic relationship.
No matter how wild or mean the animal may have been, it will instantly consider the mage to be its friend, companion and master.
To him, the animal is always docile and submissive, because the two are now one; an extension of each other.
As such, both man and animal will understand each other completely.
For the mage, the familiar is now a sensory extension enabling him to see, hear, smell, taste and feel everything the animal experiences.
Thus, familiars make great spies, listening to conversations and prowling into areas not easily accessible to their masters.
Although the familiar understands and obeys the mage, it cannot actually speak to him.
Just as the mage knows what the familiar is feeling, so the familiar knows what its master is experiencing on an empathic and telepathic level.
If one is in danger the other will know it. The magical nature of the union also provides the mage and the familiar both with an additional six hit points.
However, if the familiar is hurt or attacked, its master also takes the same amount of damage even if miles apart.
If the familiar is killed, the arcanist permanently loses 10 hit points'.
There is also a 50% chance he will suffer shock from the ordeal.
If he does, he will lapse into a coma for 1D6 hours; another familiar link cannot be tried again for at least 1D4 years.
Two-way telepathic and empathic communication;
maximum range: 600 ft
Beyond this range the two cannot communicate but each will know if the other is in danger or hurt regardless of the distance between them.
The animal will also understand spoken commands by its master on an almost human level.
The mage will have a keen understanding and perception of his animal companion's reactions, growls, noises and body language

Track Blood Scent: can follow the scent of blood up to 200 feet away. 75%.
Combat: Attacks per Melee:
2 by bite or claw.
Special Attack:
The Runner has a special thermal vision that measures the heat from a humanoid or animal.
They attack the areas that are warmest, which are usually sources of blood near the surface of the body.
Equipped with long, chisel like teeth, they are guided by this sense and bite deeply at this point to slash open the vein or artery.
To make a called shot on the vital area, the Corzin needs a natural strike roll of 17-20.
If missed, the animal still bites, but does normal damage.
The bite itself is small, but deep, causing the victim to bleed profusely.
The victim, upon a successful hit to the area, will begin to lose 1D6+2 Hit Points per minute from the wound.
Any exertion or violent movement with double the rate of blood loss.
Each successful bite will bleed as profusely, until the victim bleeds out.
When the victim's Hit Points reach a loss of 75%, a save vs coma/death is needed to avoid falling unconscious due to loss of blood.
Even if successful, the victim is -4 to initiative, and -4 to strike, parry and dodge.
Speed and Attacks are cut in half, and skills are performed at -50% due to disorientation.
Areas to be hit are the Brachial and Ulnar arteries in the shoulder and forearm, the Carotid artery and Jugular vein in the neck, the Radial artery in the wrist, the Femoral artery and vein in the thigh, and the Saphenous vein and artery in the knee and calf.
Blood Frenzy:
if exposed to a large quantity of blood spilt by a large humanoid or animal, or if the colony or pack is fiercely threatened, Tree Runners can fall into a Blood Frenzy for 2D6 minutes,
Whenever any of these conditions are met, there is a 1-60% chance of a frenzy.
When affected by a frenzy, a Tree Runner gains +1 att, +2 dmg, +2 init and +2 strike.
In this frenzy, the Runners cannot dodge, only attack
Rake Attack:
Much like a cat may do a raking attack with its hind legs, the Runner is able to attack with both sets of middle and hind legs
The rake attack does 2D6+2 points of damage, but counts as two attacks
Damage:
Bite: 1D4 plus possible blood loss damage
claw attack: 1D6+2
rake attack: 2D6+2
Bonuses:
+3 Initiative
+3 Strike
+3 Dodge on the ground

+2 vs HF
Habitat:
Large, heavy forests, some less dense forests (rare), and dense undergrowth. They have occasionally been spotted in tall, old ruins in deep forests, with rumors of being spotted in villages or towns near the edge of forests.
Language:
Grunts, barks and growls.
Size:
14 inches long and a 12 inch prehensile tail.
Weighs 4 lbs
Notes:
The Corzin are pack oriented animals and will attack in tandem.
They will automatically go for the vulnerable areas of the prey, and are able to recognize when one vital area is hit, and shift to another attack location.
They are vicious in temperament, and in a blood frenzy are quite formidable.
Their mottled colorings of brown and black allow them to blend into dense foliage.
They have communal homes and nests, all of the colony caring for the young.
Females nest in hollow balls of woven leaves, grasses and twigs, giving birth to 9-12 babies, twice a year, in the spring and fall.
Gestation is 21 days and the young reach maturity in 6 months
