At Age 10 you develop jaded tastes for exotic and possibly expensive pleasures. You tend to be rude at times, knowingly or unknowingly.
Age 4 Event: An adolescent event happens Roll 1d20 for that chart
Age 18: Something Wonderful occurs: Roll 1d20+3
Age 18: You tattoo your face Roll 1d10 for what it is and a 1d20 (If result is a 20 it is an unusual color so roll a d20 again. If that is a 20 then roll once more)
If you want your tattoo of something specific you can choose it, like Besmara or something.
Wow that would have been a good channel roll or fireball roll.
So the event is a War. A battle in some war caused your entire family to die. (The battle came to your town?). I guess after that you inherited everything!
You have a personality trait to roll for this 2d20
ow last up for you then is your significant event of adulthood, aka what you did to get to first level! Roll 2d20+2
I keep trying to figure out how heavy a gold fiddle would be... Presumably, it's hollow so it can be played..
Besides, most of the soul trade is done by daemons in Abbadon, as I recall.
I'll pick the tattoo as part of the build... I don't imagine I'm lucky enough for it to be usable as a divine focus?
About the tatoo, it isn't usable as a focus as is, but you could always do the Birthmark trait and change the fluff to the tattoo. (Unless there is something else out there in the ever growing list of stuff that could work too.)

At least we don't have to worry about aging too much here (at least, I hope not) .. I remember building Twilight 2000 characters back in the day that were unusable... because, for example, your heavy weapons guy that managed to get the skills you wanted would no longer be able to lift the weapons he'd specialized b in because the system decided he was in his 50s when war broke out.

Tition
You were Born on Gozran(April), 18 at 5:16 a.m. Sign of the Bridge. In a hospital/healer's guild. You were a legitimate child, lived only with your immediate family which included your mom and dad. (Not Extended Family). 3 siblings, Older Sister, two younger brothers.
Your character was born and raised in a Civilized culture. (Civilized cultures are noted for Central governments, royal civil engineering, wizards, thieves, naval warfare, and of course taxmen. Examples would be Feudal Japan, or Tolkien's Gondor.) Civilized folk feel more comfortable in the city than outdoors. Your family when growing up was Well-to-do. (That is the upper end of the merchant class. You typically had household servants, private transportation, and traveled.)
Your father had two jobs when raising you. Primary Occupation of your father was a stone cutter. Secondary was a Fletcher. Your mother was originally from a poor family (Low income, no property, luxuries include clean water, pets, heat, etc). Your mother was supposedly killed but your father spent the money to bring her back to life and she claimed to have another soul that came back with her!
At age 12, war breaks out and kills everyone in your family. You inherit a large sum of money. After inheriting the money you become thrifty and greedy.
At age 18, you left your home unexpectedly and came back after 5 days. (Tie into your life of crime?)
Adult: You started a life of crime because you wanted to defy authority so you joined an organized thievery guild. (Stealing and smuggling). You become well known for this. You did many jobs for the guild and were better at one thing. You discover a prominent and popular government official is really the head of the guild. The official thinks you need to be silenced! You become self doubting.
Try to tie as best you can the vents in your background. The traits are a suggestion and don't have to rule you, then can be a strong trait or a minor trait as you desire. Figure out how you ended up in Eleder.
The adventure will begin where you get a letter delivered to you that says:
"Greetings, and I trust this missive finds you in good health! My name is Lavinia Vanderboren, and I humbly request your attendance at dinner at my estate on Festival Street and Blue Skink Lane tomorrow evening. I think I can present you with an opportunity uniquely suited to your skills. Please inform the carrier of this letter of your response to this invitation, and I hope to be speaking to you soon!"
Starting bonuses
You starting money will be 1650% of starting gold (Brawler would get 5940gp in this case)
Sign of the Bridge
Pick one skill off the thief class skill list to be a class skill for you.
I was thinking Child of Shadow for your Campaign Trait. (Second post in recruitment).
Religious Experience:
Type: Water God (Or choose if you like)
How it began: An inner Need. You feel like you need to seek out this religion.
Event #1: You join the religion. Roll 1d10 to strength of devotion
Event #2: You believe you are are a re-incarnated hero of the religion
Event #3: You study the religion for 2 years
Said d6 up there... But here you go. ;)
Typo on the chart. Words said d6 chart is a d10. Eyes didn't pay attention!
Devoted Follower!
I'll sum everything up for you in a more organized way a little later and you can use that to form your back ground by tying things in where you can!
She is middle class, far below your new station. It is assumed you are still together as a couple even if she may not be here, you can play with that as you wish.
I'll sum everything up for you in a more organized way a little later and you can use that to form your back ground by tying things in where you can!
Cool, thanks. I will try to start getting him together. I don't have much time because of RL interfering with my PF for the next two weeks.
