The Half Dead City (Mummy's Mask Part 1) (Inactive)

Game Master Chainmail

The Half-Dead City
(1 of 6): In Wati, the half city, the church of Pharasma holds a lottery allowing explorers to delve the tombs of the city’s vast necropolis in search of the nation’s lost glories. In the course of investigating dusty tombs and fighting their ancient guardians and devious traps, the heroes encounter a rival adventuring group intent on keeping one tomb’s treasures for themselves. At the same time, the heroes learn that a potent artifact, potentially capable of animating the dead, has been stolen from the tomb. Can the adventurers defeat their rivals, or will they join the undead defenders of the city’s necropolis?

Yes. I will post mine soon. It's a skill-monkey alchemist. Gotta finish that sheet!


Hello, my name ist Albretch Fon Breugel of Alkenstar. I am an experienced alchemist, coming to Osirion in ze hope of advancing my science und my art!

Say hello to Albretch Von Breugel! I've built him as a skill monkey alchemist (with some bombing capabilities) who percieves himself as both an artist & a scientist. He has taken the "inquisitive archeologist" campaign trait. He is not terribly optimized, but he should survive (I hope). The only thing missing is items, and those will be finished soon. If you've got any comments, I will gladly hear them! The backstory can be found on this alias's profile. Sidenote: I have taken a story feat (magnum opus) that fits with the backstory, but it will need your approval.

Sczarni

Heck ya! making a character soon!

By the way, I was reading the older posts. Albretch, despite appearing to be old, is quite young (let's say his appearance is one of several reasons he has low cha). It makes for an interesting shtick; the man with the appearance of an elder and the curiosity of a youth.


To throw another wrench in the process and help with background, please describe what personality type your character is from the Myers-Briggs scale.

Link to basics of Myers Briggs

If you want, take this and answer as your character. It will tell you what type your character is.
Great test

I recommend, if you don't know your personality type, do it for yourself. It is very insightful.


I haff passed your test. Apparently, I am INTJ?

I did the best to give answers as Albretch. He turned out more mastermindish than expected... Funilly enough, I've used that same site to evaluate personality of characters before.
As for the weird speach, I am trying to give him a german-ish accent.


Google docs map I have linked in the campaign tab is what I will be using. Background post is ready in the gameplay tab for the four selected to enter the lottery.

As interest may have waned, post again with an alias and your personality type (should include 4 letters!) to be added to the roll call. Some may have lost interest and moved on to greener pastures.

Currently we have Albretch Von Breugel - Alchemist INTJ


The Google docs link is to a spreadsheet with just one cell used?

Anyhow, I took the test for Randaren. Came up with ESFJ. Which seems reasonable, except that they need to have people around. Given that Randaren's a desert druid who will have spent long spans of time alone in the sandy wastes, that part seems questionable.


Sabekh ib Badri, Skinwalker Rogue (with planned cleric dip).

ISTP - The Mechanic fits pretty well. Curious, a problem solver, not afraid to skirt the rules.


Hoi! ENFP...


May I present Pfilian Archibund Merstang IV for this campaign. I have not had the time to throw together the crunch, but here is a rough background.

Pfilian Archibund Merstang IV - Bard(dervish dancer) (eventually intending to go Shadowdancer) - CG - skill/secondary melee/secondary healing

Myers-Briggs - ENTP -- The Visionary, which is fairly close.

Background:

The short, and rather tubby, halfling takes a handkerchief from his pocket and dabs his forehead removing some of the sweat. However as soon as he places the handkerchief back in his pocket the sweat returns.

Damned land. He silently curses whichever deities created this superheated nation. Go to Wati. . . Make your fortune in Wati. That is what everyone said. Nobody told me it was so bloody hot here. I should have just stayed in Katheer.

With that, he takes his cane from under his arm and hobbles slowly toward the edge of the barge as it slowly approaches the Wati docks. As the barge approaches the city, he sighs: Certainly a lot smaller than Sothis and centuries behind Katheer, that is for sure. Heck of a lot prettier than Egorian, but everything is prettier than that Infernal city. As he recalls the city he escaped from several years back, he looks over his shoulder, always suspicious that some escaped slave hunter will be there watching him.

When he arrives at the dock, Philian grips his cane and hobbles off the barge with a distinct limp. At the end of the dock is the guard station where the city guards check in those arriving by water, just as normal guards at any other entry point to the city would.

The guard stops the limping halfling:
State your name and purpose in Wadi.

Philian puffs out his chest and raises his head to its full 2’ 10” looking up at the guard from under his wide brimmed purple hat with its colorful peacock feather.
I am Philian Archibund Merstang the Fourth he says proudly. I am here to join those exploring the ancient burial grounds of this great town. Despite his opinion that Wati is not much more than a hamlet compared to the great Katheer, he keeps his face completely serious as he says this.

The guard looks Philian up and down, ok he looks down and farther down, and then lets out a hearty laugh. You? You a halfling that can hardly walk? You think you will explore the ancient necropolis. The guard apparently finds this so absurd that he waves Philian through without even asking for the toll.

Sighing Philian quickly heads into the city before the guard changes his mind.
[i]Interesting, lax guards such as that would be quickly punished by their Hellknight commanders in Cheliax.
As he thinks of this, he quickly recollects the path that has brought him here today.

- - - -

It began fifteen years ago, just after he turned twelve. Born a slave to a minor Chelaxian noble, he was destined for a life of servitude. Cooking meals, cleaning, and when the nobles desired, entertaining them. At that time, the name given him by his owners was Halfius. He hated the name, but what choice did he have. Anyway, just after turning twelve, he was sent with the nobles daughter, Druia Wintrish, to accompany her on a trip to Westcrown to visit her grandmother. Why they chose Philian, he did not know, but just before reaching Westcrown, the small caravan was attacked by Andorans who were freeing slaves. Philian survived, he does not know what happened to the girl, not that he cared as she was one of the cruelest people Philian had ever met, may her soul forever burn in Hell.

Under the dark of night, these brave Andorans smuggled him and several other freed halfling slaves to Almas. Unfortunately, all was not fun and games in Almas. Although he had been a slave in Cheliax, he had always had food and a roof over his head. Not so in Almas where he soon found himself living on the streets. He begged for food, and when necessary stole what he needed. He was soon running with less than upstanding members of the Almas society.

By the time he was fifteen, he had been in prison on several occasions, fortunately never for anything serious enough to have him killed. Deciding that this was not the place for him, Philian, who was still called by his Cheliaxian name of Halfius, decided that he needed a new start. One night he stowed away on a ship heading to Absalom.

On the trip to Absalom, he listened to how others talked and referenced each other. In doing so, he decided that if he was to be a new person, he needed a new name. Thus, when he snuck off the ship in Absalom, he did so as Philias Archibund Merstang IV, the son of a merchant from far away Magnimar. Not that he knew much about the Varisian city, but he figured he could learn enough to cover his story.

In Absalom, he decided to visit some of the temples to see if they could help him with employment, or at least food. The two temples he found most interesting were the huge temple of Sarenrae, and the a small shrine to the Varisian deity Desna. Sarenrae represented the fire and desire to fight Infernal powers such as those in Cheliax. To him, Desna represented the luck he had to escape Cheliax and be able to start again.

Unlike in Almas, in Absalom, Philian found honest work clearing tables in a small tavern. It was not the greatest job, but it earned him enough for a small room and food to fill his stomach. When not working, frequently in the morning, he would visit the two temples and learn what he could hoping to some day perhaps be asked to join one of their faiths. He was never asked, but by watching the Sarenraen warriors fight, he learned much about the fluid dancelike fighting style they used.

Not only did he learn the fighting style, but also he learned to dance himself. Something which quickly brought back memories of entertaining in Cheliax. Before too long, the tavern was paying him more to entertain its patrons than he had ever earned clearing tables and dishes.

Five years he remained in Absalom, meeting people and earning enough for a simple and somewhat comfortable life. But that all ended one day when he was performing at a tavern in one of the better parts of the city. He looked out at the crowd and who did he see but the eldest son of his former owner, Pertrivius Wintrish. Lets just say that before the night was over, Philian and his few belongings were on the first ship leaving Absalom. Several days later, the ship arrived in Katheer, the famed Qadiran city.

For the next five years, he lived and entertained those in Katheer while furthering his studies of Sarenrae and her followers fighting techniques. In Katheer he began to speak with adventurers heading into Qadira, returning from the mysterious lands to the south, and coming from even more exotic places. This created a desire in Philian to be an adventurer himself, a desire likely further fueled by his studies of Desna.

During his time in Katheer, he also continued to evolve his persona. First, he took a particular liking to the swashbuckler appearance of many of the pirates, er, ship going merchants. In addition, he found that many elderly nobles and merchants who commanded the most respect carried canes. Thus, he went and found a fine cane which he used when he walked in public. Finally, he decided that if a person had a cane, then the person should have a reason to carry a cane. Thus, he developed a pronounced limp. Although not perfect, he has spent several years perfecting his pretend limp and the use of his cane.

After five years in Katheer, he recently learned of the opening of the necropolis beneath the Osirian city of Wati. Philian quickly read about this city and decided that this would be where he would become famous. Thus, did Philian Archibund Merstang IV, with his limp and cane, carefully developed over the years in Katheer solely for his own eccentric reasons, hire passage on a ship to Osirian and thence on a barge to Wati.

Just straight character creation, right? None of the regional bonus languages?

Will be playing a bard foreign treasure seeker - that shady type that always seems to get into areas where contraband is traded, but unlike the intellectual types this one will be a tough nut with a smattering of the necessary knowledge's.


Helamans entry: A vanilla bard.

Borden is a man's man. He is honest about his dishonesty and unapologetically open about his faults: Ale swiller, bull-s@*~ artist, whore monger and brawler. Oh, and add to that, 'failed Pathfinder', 'treasure hunter' and 'tomb robber'. He'll drink with any man that will buy a round in return and fight any man that gives him cause.

A native of Absolom Borden ended up here about 2 years ago, not long after washing out of the Pathfinder Society. One too many failed examinations (caused by whatever carousing he could manage to cram into that dreary existence) had led to the Society washing its hands of him but he still had the skills and it wasn't difficult to secure transport to Osirion at all.

While in Osirion Borden has applied himself with a rigor that would have surprised his old teachers. He has become knowledgeable in the history of the region and has a keen instinct for its artifacts. He is exactly the sort of foreign expat that the Osiriani rulers despise - loud, disrespectful of the local commoners (though he is unfailingly polite to anyone who can help him) and with no regard at all for historical claims of ownership when it comes to the countries antiquities.

After scraping through the last few months on the back of a lucky score and paying for drinks at his preferred watering hole by being a colourful story teller, Borden is hoping that with the lottery he can make his fortune.

This guy is hardly optimised, taking Improved Unarmed Strike as one of his feats. I am thinking about a drawback

Shadow Lodge

Doing the same thing as Tirion.

Raziya Niloctus, Scaleheart Barbarian.

Test results = ISTP (The Mechanic)

Silver Crusade

Hmmm. ESFP entertainer (performer I guess from the above). most interesting.

Did it as Borden and came out as ENFP - The Inspirer/The Journalist, but I read the Sixteen Personality Types and thought he's also a bit ESTP - The Doer and so took the test again as the character, dialing back on some answers I hedged on and amplifying others that I thought should be emphasised... And came out ENFP again. Go figure.


This is Faisal Ethelwyn. He's an old school elf. No half this or that. He will combine steel and magic to get the job done. Here is his description and background. I will finish out the stats at a later time. I feel that the character fits the AP perfectly. Give it a look, please.

Background, Appearance, and Personality:

'Tis true that we are in great danger;
The greater therefore should our courage be.
-Henry V

The strange and arcane had always fascinated Faisal Ethelwyn. That had been the main reason he had decided to train as a mage . . . well that and the fact that his adoptive father, Belben Graros was a minor practitioner of the wizardly arts.

His father was a sage and a historian that used spells to bolster his studies and help with identifying the objects that he would find on excavations and then later sold in his shop. Faisal, however, was not satisfied merely cataloging his father's discoveries, he wanted to be making his own. So, with the blessing of his father, Faisal studied for years with wizards as well as soldiers to mix steel and magic.

Day after day he longed for the adventure he read about in books that his father kept. So, when the chance came to join up with a caravan leaving the city, Faisal signed up to work as a guard. Time passes quickly on the road and within a year the young elf had matured greatly. His sword and skill as a wizard had, on more than one occasion, saved his life and the lives of those he traveled with. Brave and fearless (some would say foolhardy), Faisal is never happier than when he is crawling through the darkness in search of this artifact or that treasure.

Save for his spell components, a journal, and supplies for the road, Faisal carries little else. He learned long ago, through hours of training, that a heavy pack only gets in the way and slows one down. One possession, however, never leaves him.

The ring is made of silver, the stone of onyx. It was a departing gift from father to son. Having been passed down for generations, Faisal was told that the ring held powers that, in time, he would learn to use. A comfort in the dark, lonely parts of the night, Faisal often speaks to the ring. He speaks as if it was his father, telling of his latest battle . . . his latest find. He knows that it is silly and he often chides himself for it, but doing so makes him feel like he is not so far away from the one he loves most in the world.

* * * * *

Faisal is nearly six feet tall with long blonde hair that he wears tied back so it does not block his vision, allowing his green eyes to take in any situation with a glance. His frame is lithe but strong. And he is quick of mind as well as foot. His speed and dexterity are the traits that he prizes most and is the most likely to show off. A dusty well-worn pack and how his hand rests comfortably on the hilt of his sword belie his youthfulness.

At first blush, one might think of him as just another sword-arm walking around, until they notice the many pouches that adorn his belt and the spell-book strapped to his backpack.

* * * * *

Faisal Ethelwyn is warm and generous to a fault. His soft heart has led him down many a path that most would not travel and even less would survive. Quick with a gentle word, he will go out of his way to help those he perceives in need. He is funny and has a rapier-like wit that disarms even the most ill-tempered. And those that have traveled with him can easily attest to his loyalty.


As far as the personality test goes, Faisal would be. . .

"The Idealist"- Quiet, reflective, and idealistic. Interested in serving humanity. Well-developed value system, which they strive to live in accordance with. Extremely loyal. Adaptable and laid-back unless a strongly-held value is threatened. Usually talented writers. Mentally quick, and able to see possibilities. Interested in understanding and helping people.


Currently we have:

Arcane:
Albretch Von Breugel - Alchemist INTJ
Faisal Ethelwyn - elf mage - idealist

Divine:
Randarel - Druid - ESFJ

Martial:
Raziya Nicoltus - Scaleheart Barbarian ISTP

Skilled:
Dusty Fireseeker - Bard - ESFP
Borden Read - Bard - ENFP
Pfilian Archibund Merstang IV - Bard(dervish dancer) - ENTP
Sabekh ib Badri --Skinwalker Rogue --ISTP

Defy being stereotyped:
Umbryl Char - Magus - ENFP

Others have specified interest, but not after the 'reaffirm your interest' post

Four days to go until cutoff.


Hey, we need one more bard for an all bard party.


Don´t forget me! ENTP here^^

Can I throw another in?

Never heard of a "nother" before. Is that a new bard archetype? We need another bard so that the whole party can be bards.


Helaman is Borden Read so he's already one o yer Bard types. You can pretend Umbryl's a Bard if ya like tho....

Grand Lodge

Strong competition on the bard side... Though a party of bards, magi and inquisitors would be all sorts of awesome. Thinking of a martial app as well though I REALLY like Borden.

Silver Crusade

Actually Dusty is a cleric. The results of the test came out to an entertainer, but I'm still a cleric.

Just sayin'


Hi Helaman here.

Every wonder what Sheldon Cooper of TBBT would be like if you took away the arrogance and the snide remarks but left the innocence, the love of structure and difficulty to understand people? Add a desire to serve and a sense of duty.

Meet Dunstan - Paladin Banker of Abadar.

I think I could have fun with this. I am tempted to remove the Sense Motive (already at a low point) in favour of another skill, Perhaps Knowledge Local (which covers Laws) to really have some fun with it, but Paladins need to be able to read people too - even if they are bad at it.

I am, again, tempted to take a Drawback (and hoping the GM would be merciful because it will be used on a pretty mundane trait) in favour of a trait that boosted his Profession: Banker skill from its pretty dismal point at the moment. Not that I think I will EVER use it but it would be nice to have it higher.

ESFJ - The Caregiver ((Extraverted Feeling with Introverted Sensing)

Warm-hearted, popular, and conscientious. Tend to put the needs of others over their own needs. Feel strong sense of responsibility and duty. Value traditions and security. Interested in serving others. Need positive reinforcement to feel good about themselves. Well-developed sense of space and function.

The ESFJ takes their responsibilities very seriously, and is very dependable. They value security and stability, and have a strong focus on the details of life. They see before others do what needs to be done, and do whatever it takes to make sure that it gets done. They enjoy these types of tasks, and are extremely good at them.

ESFJs are warm and energetic. They need approval from others to feel good about themselves. They are hurt by indifference and don't understand unkindness. They are very giving people, who get a lot of their personal satisfaction from the happiness of others. They want to be appreciated for who they are, and what they give. They're very sensitive to others, and freely give practical care. ESFJs are such caring individuals, that they sometimes have a hard time seeing or accepting a difficult truth about someone they care about.

There are some bits about the type that I wont be running with including being good at sensing others needs and a desire to be in control. Dunstan will not have these traits.

He is not Lawful Stupid or Thuggish good. He is anal, true but I'll try to maintain that at Quirky level rather than 'messing with everyones fun' level. I'll endevour to manage it so its funny and an endearing (possibly frustratingly so) quality rather than a pain in everyones arse.

Background wrote:


The Bank of Abadar is a world wide institution and as such many of its clergy find themselves, from time to time, called to serve in foreign lands. A kind of divine resource management if you will. Everyone profits - the Church is able to call on additional or specialist resources where and when needed and the clergyman has the opportunity to visit new countries and cultures, and learn from the experience. It is all very civilised.

Dunstan is one such member of its clergy. Being trained, but as yet unproven, as an undead hunter he has been transferred from Taldor to Orsirion, where these skills are potentially in some demand. He also had a good record as a Banking Temple guard and it was thought he may be able to grow his expertise in 'site security' among other things. His stint as 'Banking Processes Subject Matter expert' was not something that his home branch mentioned as they shuffled him on.

His application to enter the lottery was made at the request of his new superiors. The cog that is Dunstan is not meshing with the gears of the local church structure as his new superiors would wish. To waste the man brings no profit but if he is successful in his bid? Why who knows what gains could be made?

Edit: I still strongly want to play Borden Read but if its a choice of not playing at all or having a shot using Dunstan here? I think the character could be fun to play and to be played with by others.

Silver Crusade

Sigh. Maybe I should multi class as a bard.

Grand Lodge

Then I could play Borden for the all bard party. We could form a band. Maybe I need to change my performance? I'd ask who is going to be the 'Front man' but in a party of bards, thats all we got.

Scarab Sages

I am still interested in this venture, and I have been reborn as an inquisitor of Osiris. My test yielded an ESFJ result-the caregiver.


Vy would von (one) need music alone (zo (though) I vill (will) admit ze dervish dancer goes for sight)? You need to attract ALL of ze senses! My art, vich (which) can astound sight, touch, smell & taste (zo (though) be careful of ze possibility of poisoning), needs an additional phonetic component. Vith (with) our powers combined, we could astound all ze senses!


Philian has Perform(oratory), which I suppose means that we will be a rap group. A rapping dervish dancer.


I had thought about making Sabekh a snake charmer using the Carnivalist archetype.

Shadow Lodge

Raziya has Perform(killing) as a class skill, I think. I can move points around. ;)


Wow, surprise this hasn't started yet. I might resign up. I scored ENFJ, but bard is not my style of playing if that is what it comes out to be and I use to be INTJ as I did take this test before many many times. Neither is monk.


I am Fatima Bukhari of the pahmet dwarves, sent to far Wati and there inspect the work of the Ruby Prince. The greatness of civilization lies not in that which they do for the present, but rather, how they prepare for eternity. The dead care not for the rise and fall of nations, for the needs of the present, nor the ebbing self-esteem of a people just recently freed from servitude.

The black of the new moon saw the Ritual of Kohn and one has been chosen in the Temple of the Sun to journey north. There, this acolyte shall join the hordes from across the sea, that they may safeguard the relics of the honored dead. To this end, I present myself in the city tomorrow, hidden amongst the merchants, scholars and tomb raiders, that I might protect the beds of our dead from the machinations of the Ruby Prince.

Fatima is a pahmet dwarf, come to protect the necropolis of Wati from the teeming hordes of foreigners. Her inspiration was in the Knights of the Cruciform Sword of Indiana Jones or the Haitji of The Mummy.

She is a ISTJ - The Duty Fulfiller like most dwarves, having been given a mission and determined to see it through. Like most dwarves, she is a moral pillar despite being extremely distrustful of the motives of others. She should get along fine with a party, provided they are not there to strip search the necropolis while smuggling everything they find to Cheliax.

She is a zen archer and will fill the role of ranged damage/skilled character. I have focused primarily on knowledge of Osirion (Local, History and Religion) as well as perception for finding clues/traps. She will concentrate on archery for her future feat choices.

I appreciate the opportunity to apply. This avatar is empty but the link at the top will take you to Fatima's packet, a four page document that should tell you everything you need to know about her. (I'd have submitted her a week ago, but I've been working on the afore-mentioned packet).

If there are any questions I can answer, please don't hesitate to ask.


NO NEED TO MAKE AN ALIAS--BUT A BACKGROUND IS REQUIRED
Myer Briggs profile highly encouraged

Currently we have:

Arcane:
Albretch Von Breugel - Alchemist INTJ
Faisal Ethelwyn - elf mage - idealist

Divine:
Shafira - Druid - ENTP
Randarel - Druid - ESFJ
Dusty Fireseeker - Cleric - ESFP
Khu - Inquisitor - ESFJ

Martial:
Raziya Nicoltus - Scaleheart Barbarian ISTP
Dunstan = Paladin - ESFJ

Skilled:
Borden Read - Bard - ENFP
Pfilian Archibund Merstang IV - Bard(dervish dancer) - ENTP
Sabekh ib Badri --Skinwalker Rogue --ISTP
Fatima - Dwarf Zen archer - ISTJ

Defy being stereotyped:
Umbryl Char - Magus - ENFP

Grand Lodge

If there was one AP you could play a stereotypical scimitar magus and not feel bad about it, this is it. Surprised there aren't more Magus entries.


I present Gabriel - the chosen of Pharasma.

He is currently 20pb, as most games here are 20pb and I created him without specific recruitment thread in mind. I will update him to 15pb if choosen.

From the description above, he is probably ISTP - The Mechanic, although he is not good with mechanical things.
But the test result for this character was INTJ - The Scientist. That might be a bit true, he is just not scientific at all.
He could even be ESTP - The Doer. He just does not have any people skills to speak of.

So he is probably something between the three.

As to the way he met the others in the adventuring group - he is a quick replacement for someone on the team who died (or disapeared or just decided not to participate at the last moment) - he did not cause it, he just took advantage of the opportunity.


Redone the profile for Sciath
INTJ Undead Bloodline Sorcerer.
Not a bad guy, just somewhat detached.

Profile might be a bit rough and ready, will clean up and gear up at some point.


Somehow curious about that personality test GM Tribute.
Do you have a key to it somewhere? Or is there a guideline for who works best with whom? Or just some types of personalities you want to avoid? :D

This waiting is...suspenseful.


I am vatching xena: varrior princess to pass ze time. My alchemical TV aint so good zough (though). I vill need to do some research.

I'm making a separatist cleric of Nethys, this will be her, she is INTP (I will admit to answering the questions a bit psychotically) it fits Nethys, so I'll go with it.

I plan on her taking levels in the Envoy of Balance Prestige Class (From the new Champions of Balance book), and possibly Holy Vindicator to make up the lost Bab.

Her Domains are Protection (Subdomain Solitude - also from Champions of Balance), and Fire (Subdomain Arson), and her traits are Magic is Life and Resurrected, which do not stack for the saves vs death effects, but will still both make her harder to kill.

She is focused on channeling, which leads me to a question, I am taking Versatile Channeler at first level, because I see nothing that says that I cannot, while the feat does not say it outright, may I assume that my minimum level for channeling is 1?

I'm actively working on the character and she is in no way finished.


I linked this url above under Great Test: http://similarminds.com/jung.html

This allows you to take the test as yourself or your character.

I had to take it three times throughout life and scored the same each time. There is no 'bad profile' just learning to understand diversity and how people are wired. I am in no way Politically Correct--but I do believe in Myers Briggs.

I also hoped as you answered the questions, it would help make a deep background for your character. Is he rational or instinctive? Did this form how he acts and behaves?

And, if applying, you are committing to posting regularly--at least once a day during the week--weekends are optional, I can see people wanting them free.


I also cite this character as the best background I developed was rejected for the original AP he signed up for. He has never made it more than a few weeks before a Wrath of the Righteous AP was in folded.

So, the personality types can help you with a background. Although I have yet to have Fomiel get in a good WotR group, I don't think I can make a more detailed background than this.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Regarding Myers-Briggs. Within each component, (E/I, N/S, T/F, P/J), there are I believe 4 sub-components that you usually do not see. When I took the test for real a few years ago, I was an I (Introvert), but it was like 52/48 toward the introvert side. However, on the sub-components it was like 80/20 one way for two, and 20/80 the other way for the other two.

Essentially, each main item is on a spectrum from 0 to 100, so just because it says you are Judging, this could be 51/49 or 99/1, and you would not know just how extreme, or centered, you are in each category without the details. In addition, you can be extreme in different ways on the sub-components, and never have a clue about this as you only get this level of detail if you take the test from someone licensed to give you the full report.

Just something to consider as people say, "I am not an introvert" or "I am feeling, not thinking".

I figured I'd quote myself to make sure of this, but I have finished the crunchy bits of this character and I assumed that her channeling is minimum level 1, if it does not minimum to 1st level, let me know and I will adjust it as you rule necessary.


Will be submitting a ranger who's heading toward Holy Vindicator (of Anubis, most likely).
