Abilities
False Faith — Abridan is an ex-cleric. While he's lost the magical abilities that come from his connection to Pharasma, he can still use the major staff of healing or any of his scrolls by tricking the item. Since he can't cast spells, he can't recharge his staff, and uses its remaining charges only as a last resort.
Marked by Urgathoa (divine, evil) —
Trick Item (manipulate) — Abridan attempts to trick his staff or a scroll by attempting a Religion check against the item's Trick DC.
Success For the rest of his turn, Abridan can spend actions to activate the staff or scroll as if he could normally use it.
Failure Abridan can't use the item or try to trick it again this turn, but can try again on subsequent turns.
