Runecaster

Though originally developed by the dwarves and giants, the ability to create runes of power has spread far beyond the hills and mountains. Those who choose to master this ability, known as runecasters, can create incredibly potent symbols that last for multiple uses and can be triggered without so much as a touch. An established runecaster's belongings are usually adorned with many runes, which make them not only impressive-looking items, but also true threats to thieves.
Since a majority of those who practice this technique are dwarves and giants, it is not surprising that most runecasters come from the cleric or adept class. Some rangers and paladins have also chosen to become runecasters, particularly since the Thunder Blessing has resulted in many young dwarves leaving home to explore the wilderness. A few rare druids have chosen the path of the runecaster as well, although generally only in places where druids are so scarce that they have to rely on runes to protect a large area. Runecasting clerics and paladins use their abilities to protect their temples and holy items, while ranger runecasters use them to guard trails, protect lairs of threatened animals, and defend natural refuges.
