About Fertibert

Crotchety wizard Fertibert has always seemed older than his years. While his wife Nubinia was alive, this was expressed as benign and tolerant sarcasm towards his fellow beings. Since her death, however, Fertibert has become what one might call grumpy. His favourite word appears to be "damnfool".

After becoming a widower, Fertibert retired to the mountains with only his goats for company. This may not have been as fulfilling as he expected, because he has allowed himself to be called out of retirement by his Pathfinder colleagues. Rumours about the goats linger.

Though he has an acquired respect for Osirian customs, mostly from his wife, Fertibert's real loyalty is to knowledge itself.

Fertibert wears sturdy, weatherproof clothes and boots with various pouches about his person. He prefers the open air and temperate climates and is liable to give an earful to anyone who complains about a bit of harmless rain. Easy to say when you're the one who knows Endure Elements.

Spells and feats:

Prepared spells:
1st level: mage armour, magic missile, colour spray
At will: detect magic, disrupt undead, ray of frost, dancing lights
In spellbook: cantrips, spells as above as well as burning hands, endure elements, obscuring mist, shield, shocking grasp, true strike

Feats: combat casting, great fortitude, spell focus (evocation)
Special attacks: Hand of the Apprentice (7/day, +4 ranged)
Other: arcane bond (cane), cast one level 1 spell from spellbook once per day

(Note to self: should he have any 2nd level spells at this point? How about faction feats?)

Skills:

  • Appraise 7
  • Handle Animal 1
  • Knowledge (arcana) 8
  • Knowledge (engineering) 7
  • Knowledge (geography) 8
  • Knowledge (history) 8
  • Knowledge (local) 8
  • Knowledge (nature) 7
  • Knowledge (planes) 7
  • Spellcraft 8

Note to self: want to take ranks in Survival and Bluff (for characterisation) and Profession (arcane scribe) next level. I reckon he makes a living by making beginner's spellbooks.

Other stats:

HP 13
Fort +3
Will +5
AC 10, touch 10, flat-footed 10

Fertibert is only a little altered from the pre-gen wizard.
