#REDIRECT [[Harper#Harper_Scout]]
 
* Alignment: Any non-evil
* Feats: Alertness, Iron Will
* Skills: Discipline 4, Lore 6, Persuade 8, Search 4
 
==Prerequisites==
 
In addition to the mechanical requirements, players will also need DM approval, where only after will they be assimilated into the guild.
 
To apply for a Prestige Class token, please [[Contacting DMs|contact DMs]] on the forums, via PM to Active DM's.
 
Please study the Roleplay tips below. Your concept ''must'' understand secrecy and display the ability to work with a secret organization, as well as show why the Harpers would be interested at all.
 
===Roleplay===
 
If you want to take the prestige class Harper Scout, and to be counted as a full-fledged Harper for systems purposes you need to get a token from a DM (first meeting the requirements above).  However, the Harpers have many allies, and you can play an ally of the Harpers without having the token or taking the class.
 
You could play a starting character as an agent of the Harpers, although getting in contact with the existing Harpers on Arelith island might take a very long time given their secrecy.
 
Players on Arelith do not need to fear that the class Harper Scout is metagamed from the playerlist, as the player's build is hidden.  The class abilities are also quite subtle, so if you're careful it won't be obvious that you have the class.
 
=== The Harper Code ===
 
* ''Harpers work against villainy and wickedness wherever they find it, but they work ever mindful of the consequences of what they do.''
* ''All beings should walk free of fear, with the right to live their lives as they wish.''
* ''The rule of law aids peace and fosters freedom, so long as the laws are just and those who enforce them lenient and understanding.''
* ''No extreme is good. For freedom to flourish, all must be in balance: the powers of realms, the reaches of the cities and the wilderlands into each other, and the influence of one being over another.''
* ''Whatever it takes, a Harper will do. Pride never rules the deeds of a true Harper.''
* ''Freedom is a multiversal right, though Harpers can spare themselves less freedom than those they work to protect when the need presents itself.''
* ''Harpers police their own. A Harper who hears the call of personal power can no longer hear the sweet song of the harp. A Harper who seizes power, and holds it above all else, is a traitor to the harp. Traitors must die for freedom to live.''
* ''Without a past, no being can appreciate what they have, and where they may be going.''
 
== Arelith Changes ==
 
There are five sub-classes of Harper Scout.  You can choose one of the non-basic ones by speaking with the secret Harper NPC trainer.
 
Harper Scouts can vote in every election, even in places where they are not a citizen.  The other Harper classes get this ability as well, but only with a full 5 levels in the class.  However, no Harper (nobody with the Prestige Class permission token) may stand for election as a settlement leader.  If the Harpers wish to rule directly, they will need an ally to stand in their place.
 
Harpers examining characters will get feedback if the person they are looking at also carries a Harper Pin (the Prestige Class token).

== Known bugs ==
The Harper Paragon can't select Divine Might, Divine Shield or Turn Undead unless they have levels in an existing divine class. [https://www.dropbox.com/s/may4llgl0iscqja/cls_feat_harper.2da This 2da file] fixes this, but needs to be saved to your local override folder.
 
== Notes ==
*When Harper scout levels are taken after level 20, more feat choices (besides curse song and favored enemy) are available as bonus feats at class levels 1 and 5. The full bonus feat list is: curse song, epic skill focus (all but animal empathy, perform, use magic device), epic will, favored enemy, great charisma, great dexterity, improved combat casting, and lasting inspiration.
*While curse song is a bonus feat for Harper scouts, a character without bard levels will be unable to make use of it.
