101 to 145 of 145 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | next > last >>

Profile updated with some light background. Also added an alignment (CG) and realized I've not done gear...


Yeah I have not done gear either, but would like to engage with the GM on what kind of things I can get that helps the distilling, riping, fermenting and aging process for alcohol.


I have adjusted my character to 35 pt buy. Just let me know if you want me to change anything.
Oh and good luck everyone.


Good luck everyone, I'm not going to be ready in time, which is a shame given my rolls. Have fun.


Okay so I rolled poorly and I'm way too multiple attribute dependent to have a number of skills below ten if that's okay. (and lord help me if there was going to be charisma or wisdom damage).

Here is Magran. He is a human rogue on the run (restless wayfarer), but with your permission I would like to change him to a ninja. I think its abilities would suit him better. But if not, I can probably get around it.

Here is the backstory. The crunch should be in the profile shortly.

Background:

“NO! FOOL! You will never been an assassin!” the old man shouted

Magran wiped the blood off his forehead while sparse room spun around him. He lay there sprawled out on the wooden floors that had been all he’d known since he could remember.

“Worthless. Can’t even hold a knife properly!”

Grandfather Shoin scoffed. As he struck him another time across his face.

When Grandfather Yutaka struck him, he couldn't even see him move the first time, when he hit him in the temple with his dagger’s hilt. Magran picked up his blade and attempted a few feeble swipes at the man but as always the man was too fast for him, especially in his current state.

Shoin was the only person he ever saw regularly He was apparently a master assassin who trained all over the world when he was young and knew a number of strange, mystical techniques and exotic weapons. He was kept separate from the others they were training. I was like his every single day since Magra could remember. Even a slight error brought harsh punishment.

It was at that time, 12 year old Magran first considered leaving the temple. Since early childhood, he was trained to be a killer; an infiltrator with skills honed to hunt down enemies of the glorious nation of Vudra.

By that age he had forgotten his parents, though he knew Shoin was not his real grandfather. He began to understand that every misstep would make him suffer. ‘Suffer now so you do not suffer when it matters’ his trainer said, though failure seemed like its own punishment. Whenever he fumbled on a trap, he’d be gassed, cut by blades, or his hands would be trapped in some mechanism all while Shoin chastised him. Every time he made a noise while walking, Shoin would strike him in the head with a stone—he rarely missed. Any time he failed to spot a detail, he’d be whipped. Showing emotion was severely discouraged. If he wept any punishment he would have had already would be worsened tenfold.

A true assassin would die for any of these mistakes, and showing any weakness was the worst mistake one could make. It seemed throughout training he died many times, but it was getting to the point where he wished he had. Magran had to escape.

Despite his conditioning and the patriotism hammered into him by Shoin, he had no desire to kill and potentially die for people he didn’t care about and certainly didn’t care about him. He knew there had to be a world outside of this dismal place.

His training continued for many more months. He forgot the date of his birth, but looking back, he must have been about 14. When he was 14, he hurled the knife at Shoin, and by some miracle, it grazed the man on the cheek. He shrieked as Magran slipped out of his little prison of a room, ran past the temple guards, and escaped into the city with nothing more than a dagger and the clothes on his back.

He lived on the streets of Vudra, he stole food to get by, and would break into the houses of those better heeled that him to take whatever he needed. He preferred not to use force, but if he had to, he did that too. As he plotted his next move in the city, he knew his handlers were hot on his heels. He saw men who worked for the temple, and he knew the only solution would be to keep moving.

It was difficult, sometimes even more difficult than life with Shoin, but at least then he would be free. He hopped from city to city until one day he arrive at the port city of Niswan; the capital of the impossible kingdom of Jalmeray. He saw the city’s glorious pagodas. He saw beings he never saw before: the gnomes, dwarves, elves, and stranger things—he even saw one of the fabled Jann and it was at that point that he realized that the world was a larger and more exciting place than he ever could have imagined.

He needed to keep moving, but it was starting to become less out of need and more out of habit. Magran stowed away on a ship a land called Taldor. He knew nothing of their customs, but he was determined to keep moving. He learned their language, and just enough of their customs to not stand out. He was taught to pick up on these things as a boy. Every settlement he went through he would take what he needed and move north. The goal was to get as far away as humanly possible and in this case, the further north, the better. Jalmeray was considered a Southern country after all.

The further away he got, the easier it was to settle down for a while. He actually started talking to some of the people there and cavorting in their public houses. Eventually he settled down in the smaller settlement of Heldren. It seemed like the perfect place to settle down until he could move further on.

Description: Magran is a short, wiry youth with Vudrani heritage who is clad in filthy rags like a common vagrant. His skin is pale for a man from as far south as he is because of a lack of sunlight exposure. His lanky figure hunches over half the time because of minor cases of rickets he had as a child.

His clothing is dark or grey to blend in better. His face and back have numerous scars. His back also has a large blue tattoo in the shape of a hand, and on his left ear he sports a small copper earring. His dark eyes are fixed into a cold, blank, distant stare like a catatonic man.

Personality: Magran is very task and detain oriented young man who will do whatever he needs to in order to survive. Despite being only 17, he’s quite jaded concerning the state of the world; however, when it comes to traveling, his eyes light up, even if only for a moment.

Since he’s seen that first pagoda, he knew it was his fate to wander the world, and even if he was on the run from powerful men, it didn’t mean his leaving was a mistake. There is a large world up north and he fully intents to see everything it has to offer. If he could venture out with a heavily armed group, he would be set.

Magran doesn’t hesitate to steal or even kill in extreme circumstances because he was conditioned that way, but as he gets further away from Jalmeray, he feels himself getting calmer. While his manners seem rather erratic and paranoid, they were not as bad as they once were.

Still, he occasionally twitches, speaks too quickly and flinches at any sudden movements. It does not take much to get Magran into a fight-or-flight state of mind. That’s more or less the mindset he’s lived with his entire life.

I hope that your 35 is a typo for 25, because I specified in character creation that character stats were to be generated using 25 pts.

I shall check my sourcebooks that allow for such things and get back to you on that.

Whipping up a dwarven ranger

I had originally randomed up a kitsune would that race be okay? I still plan on finishing Granner, but now the idea of a kitsune is stuck in my head.

A kitsune is fine, too...

Yea its a typo. If you look at my toon it does add up to 25. Sorry about that.


Made some changes. Put him down as a Neutral Human(Vudrani) Ninja.


4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 4) = 1715
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5, 3) = 1411
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 3) = 1715
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 2, 1) = 1413
4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 1, 5) = 1312
4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 4) = 1310 reroll
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 3) = 108 lol. Think I will stick with 25 point buy.

Silver Crusade

Liyest Toumbar Troubadour extraordinaire at your service

4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 4, 2) = 15 13
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 6) = 13 12
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 5, 5) = 20 16
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 3, 1) = 13 12
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 5, 6) = 17 16
4d6: 4d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 5, 5) = 13 12

Seems good. I'll work up the stats and hopefully have him done quickly


Gundar Two Axes wander into Heldren from his home in the north to try and find out why it is colder than it usually is. Not that it bothers him all that much, but some seem to think it is sort of chilly.

Silver Crusade

Liyest is a travelling Troubadour travelling the lands to ply his trade and search for signs of his Ifrit father. His Elvish mother told him that the last she heard his father was heading to Taldor and it made sense to Liyest that he should start at the hotter southern Taldor.

Fiercely loyal to his companions Liyest specialises in assisting, with his Bardic abilities, knowledge, bow and spells. He will be found in the thick of any situation always getting involved, always helping, even if it isn't known that his help was needed yet...

hmmm deciding on whether to Bard or Shaman


Here is the Nine's entry to the mix.

A kitsune Ninja!

Its 98% complete, i just really need to check the math on my gear.

His backstory and general mannerism as in the profile. Good luck to all!

If you need an rp sample or anything let me know!


Out of curiosity, about what time will this close on Saturday?


here is my monk submission. I have him as LN instead of LG, because he is out to protect the town of Heldren and help out the citizens of it at all possible. Though this does not mean necessarily that he would protect other towns or help out others, although he might because that is what his allies might want or because that is what the people of Heldren might want. He is more for the community and following orders and law than what he is for helping out people in general and slaying evil. Though he certainly won't hesitate to slay evil.


4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 5) = 15
4d6 ⇒ (2, 5, 3, 1) = 11
4d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6, 1) = 9
4d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3, 6) = 18
4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 4) = 15
4d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 6, 5) = 22
4d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 2, 4) = 14

I'll tak that for my shaman.


Here is my shaman.

Dentor was raised by a tribe of orcs and trained under the tribes shaman before being driven out.

Now Dentor roams around aiding those in need.


Alright, here is my (Feuerrabe's) contribution. PB 25.

CG female elf ranger 1

Going for archery, even though I took "Weapon Finesse" as first feat. It's going to remain my only melee related feat.

Balancing the money and the equipment to avoid having a medium load was quite a pain, so I decided in the end to pick shortbow, shortsword and leather armor instead of longbow, rapier and studded leather armor, so that I could afford a horse. It's not ideal, but I think it fits the character if she has a horse to start with. In the end there was little money for winter equipment of course... though I feel a little silly coming up with winter stuff in southern Taldor.

The story stands for now, though it's entirely possible that polish it a little. So far it tells the story of a wandering spirit who doesn't really know where she belongs - or were she wants to belong - but has found her taste for adventure.


Character submission ends at midnight tonight. I will review all submissions and return to you all tomorrow with a verdict as to who will be in the campaign.

I wish all of you the best of luck.


Thanks for the update and well wishes, GM_Fenwick.

And, good luck to all! :)


Good luck!


Made some last minute adjustments... I originally calculated only 150 gp while I have 175 available, replaced the leather armour by studded leather, pushed some inventory around and lowered Cha from 11 to 10 in order to raise strength from 12 to 13.


Good luck all.


Best of luck to everyone.


Good luck with the pickin'


Good luck, everyone!


Just finished up the background, realizing I had left the end portion incomplete until I double checked it over.

Anyway, good luck everyone.


Submitting an orphan character from another Reign of Winter that didn't get very far.


Yes, good luck all!
