<p>Thank you, Lucendar and the Sand Stalkers for selecting Mundinus the physician. I like to think that his efficacy as a healer and champion for the living is even more potent than that of a Sarenrae priest - he will certainly think so of himself. (a doctor with a God complex - maybe?)</p>
<p>Originally I was going to make a half-orc cleric of Sarenrae - but then I started reading your adventure thread and got to know Brebork. His character concept inspired me to make this character. Why not then create a backstory in which Brebork himself was the inspiration for Mundinus?</p>
<p>I am eager to make any adjustments needed to fit Mundinus into the tale. He still needs equipment etc..... </p>

<p>As you say, Sir - the victim was killed cleanly with a decisive cut to the throat. If that is the case, what purpose did it serve for the killer to follow up by savagely gashing the body and making a bloody mess? A compelling question. Or were there two perpetrators? Maybe it is a red herring to confuse us.</p>
<p>I was able to detect a lingering aura of conjuration magic in the room....it seemed to be a residue from a low level conjuration, so I am doubtful that we are dealing with a summoned killer or conjured escape. I am trying to think of what kind of spell or effect it was. Of course I might be wrong...I am not an expert in this kind of magic. </p>
<p>The glass shards are only inside the room, suggesting that someone or some creature came in from outside. Unfotunately it appears any tracks outside have been trodden over or washed away. And what of the girl who screamed. Did anyone recognize her from her voice. Where is she now"? </p>

<p>She is a starchild and a wandering elven Astronomer. Seven years ago she found herself walking under a canopy of stars along the shores of Lake Kavapesta , having forgotten her past and with no recollection of how she arrived there. She does not even know her name. She remembered how to speak her language and some basic survival skills...not much more. Her fine raiment and manners drew the curious attention of locals and she soon found herself the guest of a hedge mage, who was interested in her story. He took her in and invited her to stay. No magic or or inquisition has been able to penetrate the darkness of her amnesia. She remained as a guest of the mage, who was impressed by her intellect and invited her to stay as an apprentice, help him with research and study in his library. </p>
<p>For some reason she is drawn to and fascinated by the night sky. She is a careful observer of the heavens and the minutiae of celestial mechanics. She is on a quest to build a powerful lense with which to better observe unusual celestial objects in the sky. For her project she requires wealth. Lots of it. Over seven years of study she has mastered the arts of Divination to an impressive degree and has grown weary of the mage's company. The time has come for her to venture forth and seek her own fortune. She has come to Daven's Rest because she heard that there may be ruins to plunder in the area. She has also heard that successful adventuring companies are known to gather here from time to time.</p>Do you have room for a Diviner?

ABILITY SCORES
<br />
I had forgotten to account for the racial modifier to Charisma. If I make Charisma the 8 he would drop to 6. I know he's not pretty but he's no beast!
<br />
Unfortunately I had to make INT the 08stat ...so now he's a both little ugly and a little stupid. He can live with that. He gets a boost to DEX and loses a point of STR.
<br />
[Spoiler omitted]
<br />
I removed the brand from his face to boost his dwarven charm.
<br />
Stealth and Swim are gone. </p>
<p>2.The Tankard of Prester Farnham the Slave . </p>
<p>Thanks, jlighter for letting me take this item.
<br />
Without a cleric in our group we need some divine favour...and the backstory for it reflects my preference for the Liberation domain in the Cayden Cult in contrast with its more swashbuckling, drinking-hall tone. Please check the item description as I made some adjustments. Please clarify: I think the power to purify food/drink resides in the item itself (perhaps it entered the tankard when Prester Farnham died - who knows?). zGraggen just knows the rituals to activate it. Is that how you see it?</p>
<p>I know that without armour and gear this character may struggle at first.....but he's a Survivor - and he can fight with his hands!</p>
<p>3. z'Graggen's present condition of health.
<br />
I hate to put him at even more of a disadvantage at the beginning of the campaign - but somehow I think it fits him to arrive like this. I await the DM's ruling. </p>

<br />
I think I fixed it.</p>

I hope you like the Barbarian! He will be a good cook for the party.

I can see the makings of a motley crew here. Great characters everyone!</p>1. ABILITY SCORES
I had forgotten to account for the racial modifier to Charisma. If I make Charisma the 8 he would drop to 6. I know he's not pretty but he's no beast!
Unfortunately I had to make INT the 08stat ...so now he's a both little ugly and a little stupid. He can live with that. He gets a boost to DEX and loses a point of STR.
[Spoiler omitted]
I removed the brand from his face to boost his dwarven charm.
Stealth and Swim are gone.

<p>Since his CON is going to be 20....and since he is a desperate slave on the run...that would make him a Barbarian! rather than a Ranger.

I invested a skill point in HEAL. If you allow it, can he have this as a class skill using one of the available traits? ("Wilderness First Aid")</p>
<p>As for the blessed tankard and its associated trait. Can he have this in addition to the two traits he already has? It is not a family heirloom. (He would have lost all of his possessions as a slave.)

I also used to play a long time ago when people actually had the time to gather together in basements to do this.
