<p>On the topic of the bracketed bits however, there were a couple of questions and suggestions for you that you haven't responded to or addressed.</p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Tupilek wrote:</div><blockquote><p> Oratory B2 (Duel of Wits skill, and for addressing/persuading a crowd) </p>
<p>Suasion B2 (Verbal art of the priest to convince others to act on your behalf. I’d probably focus on Oratory instead than having two B2 Social skills, but up to you) </blockquote><p>As I commented above, you could probably collapse these two skills together as they're similar. It's up to you though, as with the FoRK rules (which I believe were in the hubs and spokes rules section) having two similar skills can actually be beneficial.
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Tupilek wrote:</div><blockquote><p>Doctrine B2 (knowing the tenets of your ‘religion’) </p>
<p>Ritual B2 (Your skill at performing Rituals, Funeral rights, Consecrating Ground, etc.) </blockquote><p>I'd permit you if you wanted to also collapse these skills. Doctrine is normally a required skills, but I'd say for the sort of 'religion' you're in Ritual makes more sense. Again with FoRKs it might be beneficial to keep them (Doctrine is basically a theoretical knowledge, whereas Ritual is the more practical application of said knowledge)
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Tupilek wrote:</div><blockquote> Steel: B6 (you seem to have been counting the ‘severely wounded’ as a positive, but I wouldn’t say a hunter would actually qualify as equivalent to bandit/soldier/knight etc. If you want to remove the severely wound from his history then both your steel and health will increase by 1. Like Zooi said however, a B6 Steel is pretty impressive already.)</blockquote><p>You wanting to keep the arrow to the chest in your background?
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Tupilek wrote:</div><blockquote>Gear: Clothes (1), Shoes (1), Traveling Gear (1), Javelins (5), Light Mail (10), Mammoth Hide Tent (2)</blockquote><p>The weapons should be Javelins x6, Mammoth Tusks x2 (5), you get all of that for the one expenditure :) and uhh... you bought the Tent as property then?
<p>Were you going for the Half-Sleeves and Half-Leggings option I mentioned? </p>
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Tupilek wrote:</div><blockquote>Relationships: Bampfwick (8, Hated -2)</blockquote><p>Just so you're aware, by buying her as a relationship, it means you've seen her more than just the once, and she has taken notice of you personally. She will be a thorn in your side, and if you ever succeed in killing her then the relationship will disappear.
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Tupilek wrote:</div><blockquote> Circles: B2 Resources: B1</blockquote><p>Uhh hmm, unfortunately gear and relationships don't count for Resources, so you'd just have a B0 Resources (the 2 for your 'property' /15, round down = 0)
<div class="messageboard-quotee">Tupilek wrote:</div><blockquote>I only carry what's needed to survive, but I always carry what's needed to survive.</blockquote><p>You could probably shorten that to just the last half, as that's the important bit for the instinct.
</p>
"I always carry what I need to survive"</p>
<p>If you could answer/fix those things that'd be appreciated.</p>

<p>As for the traits, as written, no, not unless you changed his lifepaths (and likely added several) to get extra trait points.

<br />
If Tupilek's 'immortality' is more a result of the touch of Mammoth, rather than 'elf-blood' which is the impression I get from your description there is a Human Only Trait called <b>'Vigor of Youth'</b>, which basically means you don't take Stat penalties from aging. Which is all Elven Immortality is really, which is why I was describing it more as agelessness. Neither Elves nor Orcs are genuinely Immortal, they can both still die, they just don't die of OLD AGE. Honestly, Suicide is actually a pretty common cause of death for both races.</p>The bad news is 'not unless GM-Peanuts house-rules it'.

<p>They should be more like greatclub or greatsword level. At least equivalent of a full sword, not a little knife. I imagine Tupilek basically having the blunt/mouth ends of the tusks jutting like 4 inches above his shoulders, the a set of leather straps to go around his biceps, and forearms. Then handles drilled into the tusk for his hands to grip. So kinda like a cross between a <a href="http://www.trueswords.com/images/prod/c/billy_club3_540.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tonfa</a> and a <a href="http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00glossarydata/terms/katar/katar.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Katar</a>.</p>
<p>I know this might sound ridiculous, but is there any way to get both Massive Stature and Immortality? I love the image of this mammoth of a man, old and scarred, slowly losing his war, but unable to stop fighting it despite all indications that he cannot win. Bound in holy service to a god-like animal spirit, he fights on long after those he loves have all been killed, and hope has dwindled to a guttering flame in an endless stygian night.</p>Yay!

<p>-=-=-=-=-=-</p>
<p>Alright Black Dow, time to give you some attention :) All of the information so far has been for human characters, so there’s a few things you need to know about Orcs specifically (I’m bound to miss something, so forgive if this isn’t complete). Since you were raised by Orcs but have spent a good deal of your life amongst Humans you will still use some of the Human information.</p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>That’s the common traits (which you get for free) but if you can afford it I would suggest you get this one too:</p>
<p>Enemy of the Sun (Die Trait) – 3 pts
<br />
The greatest, most fearsome Orcs have been bred to resist the pure rays of the sun. They may travel by day and suffer no obstacle penalties as under the Cold Black Blood Orc common trait.</p>
<p>-=-=-=-=-=-</p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>My suggestion flavour-wise would be Born Chattel, Cutter Slave, Goblin, Bondsman, Strider. Final totals – 33 years old (the older an orc is the better his stats) – 23 Resource Points - +4P Stats – 2 general and 15 lifepath Skills – 9-5 Traits</p>
<p>My suggestion mechanics-wise would be Born Chattel, Goblin, Bondsman, Strider, Strider. The Chattel and Black Legion lifepaths (the orcish ones above) are pretty terrible for skills and resources, but they are appropriately flavourful. Still taking Strider twice will get you 26 Resource Points and 2 general and 22 lifepath Skills, and you won’t have the horrible Exhausted Trait (Back-Breaking Labour isn’t actually that bad a trait though). :)</p>Black Dow wrote:Peanuts will keep an eye on things and should things change I'll definately be back.

Alright Black Dow, time to give you some attention :) All of the information so far has been for human characters, so there’s a few things you need to know about Orcs...GM-Peanuts (alias of Peanuts)2012-10-13T21:38:16ZRe: Forums: Recruitment: Burning Wheel in GolarionZöoi Dawn'sgift (alias of Irnk, Dead-Eye's Prodigal)https://paizo.com/campaigns/BurningWheelTheChillLands/recruiting&page=2#802012-10-13T21:30:42Z2012-10-13T21:30:42Z<p>@GM-Peanuts: For 'the Kid' I think switch Speed & Agility, that will also bring my Brawling up to B2. For 'Killer', how about taking Sword down to B5. That will give me the additional skill point I need for Two-Fisted Fighting Training <b>&</b> give me a bit more to shoot for with the 'I will <b>become</b> the best sword'swoman in the world.</p>
<p>I will probably tweek my beliefs & instincts a bit once I have thought more about the additional background info & the other PC's. <span class=messageboard-ooc>Hopefully we will hear from Doomed Hero & he will get in on this as well.</span></p>@GM-Peanuts: For 'the Kid' I think switch Speed & Agility, that will also bring my Brawling up to B2.

<p>I took the liberty of updating the first line of your background to fit with the new setting information. Please check it and make sure it sounds okay to you.</p>

<p>Alright, so I have reworked the character sheet and posted it above. Interspersed are several comments and explanations from me, elaborating on skills etc.</p>
<p>The background looks cool, though it doesn’t quite match up to the lifepaths, but that’s not that big a deal :) The first belief looks good, but the second two don’t really have a specific goal, I’d suggest changing the third at least to something like the below (which will help tie you into the starting adventure):
<br />
<li>I will oppose the Witches and their allies until my dying day; the elders of the tribes believe we must find allies of our own in order to fight back, I will do what I can to see they are successful.</li></p>
<p>Your second instinct could make things a bit difficult, you can leave it as is, but considering that two of the other party members are an Ulfen and an Orc this might be a bit insular.
<br />
Your third instinct could perhaps be a bit more proactive (and combined with the above to free up your second instinct for something else):
<br />
<li>I never lower my guard around strangers.</li></p>
<p>As for Resources I added it to the sheet, but you should have 28. You’ll want to spend three points on the standard Clothes, Shoes, and Travelling Gear, it’ll be 5 points for some Javelins (about 4 – 6 would be reasonable) and your mammoth tusks, leaving you 20 for other gear.</p>
<p>On the topic of armor, as I commented above, you can wear Reinforced Leather armor without the Armor Training skill without penalties. You only need that skill if you want to wear mail or heavier armor. Even with the Training any armor above a Gambeson will cause penalties to some skills due to what the system calls ‘Clumsy Weight’. If you want to keep the Armor Training then I’d suggest just going for a Light Mail, or a Heavy Mail with Half-sleeve/leggings (means your arms and legs are less armored, but you take fewer penalties), or you could do away with the arms and leggings entirely, which makes the armor half price, but leaves your limbs vulnerable to attack (which can incapacitate you just as well as torso or head could)</p>
<p>Light Mail is 10 rps, Heavy Mail is 15 rps (or 5 and 8 with just the breastplate and helmet)</p>
<p>Then you have Relationships, Affiliations and Reputations to buy too. If nothing else I’d suggest you have at least one or two Relationships. See the post up-thread with the rules for those.</p>[Spoiler omitted]

I certainly hope you'll reconsider at some point, since I haven't heard from Doomed Hero again we're looking a bit short on players (going to send a PM to Doomed Hero to see if he's still interested, might have just forgotten about this).</p>
<p>So yeah, if you want to reconsider then that would be great.</p>
