The chaotic neutral fantra, whose name means "guardian," bears
the weapons of the church. Fantras belong to a nomadic culture, the
members of which call themselves meadlennes (?tribe members?).
Fantras sometimes see themselves as guardians of their entire people, their protective and comforting nature giving them a charisma
score bonus of +3 when dealing with other meadlennes. Fantras and
their people care only for their god and themselves. People not of the
same tribe and whose religious beliefs differ from those of a fantra
are called attlennes (?outsiders?) and are regarded as no different
from intelligent animals. Should a fantra ever aid an attlenne without good cause  (i.e.,  without aiding the meadlenne tribe in some
way), he loses his status, is excommunicated and exiled, and becomes forevermore an attlenne and a normal fighter.

Fantras only wear armors of chain mail quality or lighter, and
they only carry wooden shields. They have few personal possessions,
because they must carry all of their equipment on horseback or in
carts when the tribe moves. Fantras prefer mounts with stamina,
depending on them often for their lives.
Wisdom is the prime requisite of a fantra. A wisdom score of 17
or greater adds 10% to earned experience. Strength and constitution
are secondary requisites, adding an additional 5% to earned experience for a total of 28 or more. Fantras receive spell bonuses and
chances of spell failure according to their wisdom scores as clerics do
(see  Players Handbook,  p. 11, Wisdom Table II).
Nomadic fantras never build strongholds. At 9th level or above, a
fantra might attract tabaxi or atomies as followers, but otherwise he
works only with other fantras.

The special abilities of a fantra are:
1. Immunity to normal diseases of all types, excluding magical
diseases and lycanthropy.

2. A 10% chance per level to identify plants or animals, automatic
identification coming at 10th level and above.

3. A 15% chance per level to identify pure water or nonpoisonous
wild foods, automatic at 7th level and above.

4. The ability to concoct antidotes from natural herbs and roots.
The antidote has a 10% chance per level of the fantra of neutralizing
the poison in 1-4 rounds. This ability assumes the availability of
proper herbs and roots. Concoction time ranges from 2 rounds to 2
hours, depending on the complexity of the poison (and therefore the
antidote). The fantra must know the exact nature of the poison to
concoct a suitable antidote,

Unless otherwise indicated, all fantra spells correspond to the
cleric spell of the same name and level. A number after a spell indicates the spell is normally of a level different from that at which a
fantra learns the spell. A letter after the spell indicates that the spell
normally belongs to a class other than the cleric (d = druid, f =
special fantra spell). New spell definitions follow, in the format of
