Wow thanks, created the character back when legacy frist came out, will update today after reviewing


I submit Nasir

Background:

Nasir’s parents own the most successful inn in all of Katapesh hosting talented performers and entertainment of the highest quality. As a little girl, Nasir would silently creep downstairs after her bedtime to watch the beautiful dancers that performed in the common room. By far the most amazing of these was the legendary Halim al’Vizhir, her movements seemed more than human, almost magical. That was where Nasir’s obsession with dance and music began.

When she turned 13 her parents finally, after much haranguing, agreed to allow her to study with Halim, the dancer pleased to find a student who approached dance whole heartedly. She thought her to listen not only with her ears, but with every fiber of her being, how to abandon herself to the primal music of life, and most of all, how to express it with her body. Hours they would spend dancing, learning the subtle movements of hands and arms, the sway of the hips and twist of the torso that turned the dancer into a conduit for the primal rhythm of life itself.

It would be her other interest however, that would lead her to leave her home. Her father possessed a sizeable personal library, and Nasir grew up devouring the tales of Lucky Farouk and reading of the Pathfinder Society. She dreamed of adventure, a dream that took root in her soul and grew the day Pathfinders stayed at her parents inn. As she mastered her art, the dream grew, unrelenting, until on her 20th birthday she set out for the distant land of Absolom to apply for membership. The application went well, granting her full membership and her first assignment; join Garavel’s group to investigate ancient structures in the area and determine the reason for Kelmarane’s abandonment. Determined to impress her new brotherhood she has set out to discover the secrets of her homeland.

Personality:

Nasir is a creature of passion, living life to its full extent every opportunity she gets. Filled with an insatiable appetite for new experiences and knowledge, she looks at everything with eyes eager to learn something. Her greatest love is music, and she will leap at any opportunity to dance.

Description

Spoiler:

If one word were used to describe Nasir, it would have to be luscious. Blessed with sun-kissed skin, scintillating curves and an hourglass figure that boasts a little extra sand in all the right places, her body appeals to the eyes and calls out to the arms. Long dark hair frames a beautiful face featuring dark smoky eyes, a full sensual mouth and the profile of a desert queen. Her walk, her laugh and even her breathing carry a subtle yet intoxicating rhythm, a melody that seems to harmonize with the observer’s heartbeat, calling out to them to join the dance. Male or female all find it hard to look away.

Nasir, you might want to look at the skills you have listed on your character profile. It looks like she's built using D&D 3.5 rules and not Pathfinder. She has way too many skill points for a first level Pathfinder character.

Yeah the characther was built a while ago, I'll happily redesign her if there's interest.Also those are skill modifyers listed, in most cases there'e aren't points in a lot of those skills just ability mods.


Interested here's my character from a previous attempt at the adventure path that didn't pan out.Considering retooling slightly to either the Celebrity or Dawnflower Dervish archetypes.

Nasir seems to not hear the warning shout, in fact she does not seem to hear anything. Her fluid movements stops, a sudden jarring end that is a clear indication that something is wrong.

Her eyes widen her full crimson lips work onece, twice, alttemplint to produce sound. She sways, a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of her mouth as she looks down at the end of the arrow puckering her bare skin.

She feels the darkness closing in, the music fading as her body begind its fall to the ground.

Nasir is at exactly 0hp. Bardic effects will last 3 more rounds

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Determined to keep the little monsters occupied, Nasir's hands and body undulate during her whirling gyrations, tracing patterns in the air. Rhythmic Casting

Motes of swirling color seem to flow along her body,drawing the eye to the spectacle that is her beauty.Using prestidigitation to add to the distraction

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Seeing the benefit to her companions Nasir drinks a potion of Mage armor, provideing her with some much needed protection as she remains in the open, drawing the fire of the little beasts.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir still to act this round.

Sorry, trying to move to new apt in middle of work week

Nasir attempts to counter the vile little beasts effect, providing a boost to her allies. An eeirie music fills te air as the nubile dancer hurls her body into a frenzy of scintillatingmovements designed to inspire, callings to the blood and sending a rush of heat with it.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir stands at the ready II28 her whip ready to stike the first creature to approach. Readied action to attack first to come within 15 ft

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

"Perhaps I have a distraction."

Nasir closes her eyes for amoment, her body swaying alluringly as he hands trace sigils in the air. Her movements come to an end as she exhales in a puff of air blown towards the indicated location.

At the opening a sound, similar to the yipping of a few pugwampis fills the air, echoing throughout the area.

ghost sound

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir uncoils her whip dagger preparing to respond.

As Nasir follows the others she is taken by the beauty of the ancient mural. Her eyes drink in the scene, as she searches her memory for any reference of these magnificent images.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

"There should be more dormitories, and probably a dining hall probably through the archways on the other side of this corridor. The focus of the building will be the chapel. The main part of the building'll be the chapel, the large structure at the north-west corner of the building.

I'm pretty sure it's the biggest chamber. It might be more than one level.

There's probably another large chamber or space, a scriptorium, garden or courtyard, probably quite centrally located, so North of here."

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Knowledge Engineering 1d20+2=20

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

"so...much...knowledge. All gone to waste. Filthy little vermin!"
Nasir speaks with vitriol, for the first time any of you can recall.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir walks along, giving another sidelong glance of wonder to the druid.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

"He is magnificent!"

Nasir coils her whip-dagger around her shoulders as she produces a notepad and scribble furiously.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir completes her dance, looking at the hunting cat with open wonder.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir dances forward her whip whirling around as she flicks it forward at the advancing ape. 1d20=14, 1d6=4

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Still performing Nasir waits until one of the apes gets withing 15 ft, lashing out. Ufortunately avoiding the debris and maintaining her performance requires the majority of her concentration.

1d20=7, 1d6=1

"Perhaps remaining as a group would be best."

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

A slow smile creeps across Nasir's beautiful features.

"Does anyone have caltrops perhaps? Or those tangle bags? We can leave surprises for the little monsters as they try to escape."

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir looks at Mus'ad. "Perhaps if you were to use spells that hit everything at once and do not require aiming. Leave less up to luck."

Web,Colorspray,Burning hands(especially after casting web)

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir gives the group her insights on the structure and the likely location of the entrance.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir thanks Farasha for the return of her scimitar.

As the group approaches Nasir makes a quick sketch to the temple, taking note of it's condition.

She studies the structure intently observing its design and wear, seeking possible hazards, and considering possible entrances that the group or the pugwampi's may use. She spent much time entering old places in her teen years when her parents were busy, and it is this experience she calls upon now.

Nasir spends some time trading stories whit the guards she spoke with earlier and flirting heavily. Diplomacy 1d20+5=23

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir bows with a flourish, bringing her hands first to her forehead, then over her heart.

"It is most gracious of you my Lady. We are honored to be in your service."

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

At the mention of the lost temple Nasir perks up hanging upon every word. She virtually vibrates with excitement at the prospect of exploring it.

Sense Motive on Dakshi 1d20+2=5

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Her sketch complete and notes taken, Nasir resumes her place at the back of the procession in order not to affect the night vision of the trackers.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

"I usually prefer my enemies not be close enough to need to use my scimitar in combat. It may be highly ornamented but trust me it bites as well as any other."

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Picking up her wayfinder, Nasir goes over to the bodies of the creatures and taking out her notebook begins sketching the little beasts and making detailed notes.

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir whirls through her dance and uncoils her whip, the dagger end flashing wide of the little creature.

1d20=10, 1d20=3 No point to rolling damage

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Nasir begins moving rhythmically, her dance filling her allies with fervour.

Nasir: ** spoiler omitted **

[/ooc]

DM

Spoiler:

The potion belt lets her draw it as a free action, but you're right that drinking it is standard not move equivalent.

Since everyone used the bonus on their rolls, she'll dance on the first round, and draw the potion and drink on the second round. She'll make any attack of opportunity that come up since her daggerwhip is in her right hand.

Perform check to maintain dance while drinking potion(replaces concentration; therefore spellcraft 1d20+7=26, 1d20+7=22

(F Keleshite Human Bard 1)

Recovering from the cut on her leg Nasir drops the wayfinder at her feet grabbing and consuming a potion from her potion belt.

Potion of mage armor +4 to AC NOW 16

As the shimmering fields envelops her body she begins to move, a rhythmic motion that lifts her allies spirits in an attempt to counter the misfortune created by the little beasts.
Inspire Courage +1
