Background:

The child of adventures, Sebastian grew up surrounded by artifacts and stories. Attempting to please both his sorcerer father and warrior mother, Sebastian dabbled in many subjects at school, picking up some swordcraft, magic, and book learning.

Upon graduation, Sebastian was drawn to the Riddleport area to study the Thassilon rune stones in the region. The journey did not go well as he was robbed of most of his money by the pirates he accidentally signed on with to get to Riddleport. As he was about to be robbed and put ashore, he challenged the Captain to a duel, thinking himself not a bad fencer. But the crew simply laughed and mobbed him, but left him his sword (a girt from his mother) and his reference books (a gift from his father) for his 'spunk'.

He used a hidden reserve of coin to buy supplies and set out to the hinterland to map and document standing rune stones. Recently though, while out scouting for new stones, he returned to his camp to find that it had been ransacked. Left with what he was carrying, he dejectedly returned to Riddleport desperate for any means of making money so that he might be able to 1)live and 2)return to his studies.

Sebastian is book smart, and world naive. In school, he learned to fence, and discovered, in the world out there he will need to learn how to fight. His ivory tower existence has come crashing down around him as he finds himself nearly penniless and surrounded by thieves.

Appearance:

Sebastian has rugged good looks of a Taldor young noble, but he looks a bit haggard as if exposed to too much sun, wind and stress. He stands 6 ft tall, 160 pounds. His long black hair is tied back with a ponytail. Wire-rimmed spectacles are worn when reading. His mother's sword he carries on his back and a collection of reference books in his satchel.

Naturalist ability:

Naturalist (Ex): An archivist who has identified a creature with a Knowledge check appropriate to its type can use performance to share strategies for defeating it with allies in combat. The archivist and any allies within 30 feet gain a +1 insight bonus to AC and on attack rolls and saving throws against exceptional, supernatural, and spell-like abilities used by creatures of that specific kind of monster (e.g., frost giants, not all giants or all humanoids). This bonus increases by +1 at 5th level and every six levels thereafter. This language-dependent ability requires visual and audible components.
Common Creature = 5 + CR
Average Creature = 10 + CR
Rare Creature = 15 + CR
