Oh well I mean if we're qualifying characters here... Zaniah shoots things and can as a swift action hit exactly as hard as the party's strongest hitter but better because no DR applies. Also I guess she can buff and heal? But come on, who cares about that. GUNS AND ACTION ECONOMY, man.

Qualifications?

...But what about personality?

:see previous statement about healing friends, shooting enemies, and shooting and then healing idiots:

She's uh. She's intense?

Qualifications?

...But what about personality?

It's all in the name- he's missing his face!

He's like your little brother- good kid, always getting into things, and wanting to be just like the adults- just with more scowls and biting retorts when things don't work out.

Well, Jarik hits things, will be picking up lots of buff/utility sorc spells (I don't think my Cha will be high enough to use spells that force saves), and will become a friggin' dragon. That has to count for something...

Personality's a lot harder to quantify than role and capabilities.

This particular conversation started with a role declaration, so that's the response it prompted.

Personality? Pan He Ah still has the raging hormones of a young adult, but he has decades of training to work with others, to give them their chances to shine, to cooperate towards greater goals than he has any chance to reach on his own. His body still pushes him to work at being dominant, but his life has taught him to serve. His guiding example calls him not to judge others, though he can judge their choices and actions. His guiding example holds him accountable for improving himself and being the example encouraging others to choose to improve themselves in similar ways.

Not that I expect many people reading this to know the reference, but He Ah will have a lot in common with Kwai Chang Caine, from that old TV Series Kung Fu. I won't have the guiding hand of Bruce Lee behind the scenes to help me keep it right, but that's the general direction . . ..

Tilda is kinda bull-headed, but she's curious about things wants to see the world entire.

Team dad, right here

Ok everyone. If you still haven't finished your character you are out of time as I am going to go through and make my selections today. Sometime in the next 12ish hours probably.

Good luck everyone!

I hope you find a crew you will enjoy running.

Good luck!

Oooohhh . . ..

Reviewing the original post, I think I failed to follow one core instruction.

I don't think I explicitly identified why Terendelev chose to empower Pan He Ah. I got so caught up in trying to meet the rest of the presentation expectations, I just missed explicitly saying it.

If I'm too late, then I'm too late.

Simply put? Pan He Ah is a servant leader. He shares a grand vision with (basically) the entire Crusade, and sees his responsibility as helping others make that vision reality. He's not expected to use the power for personal glory or to create authority. He's expected to use it to help others achieve success and implement valid authority.

Obviously, Terendelev has to have spent some time learning about these young Crusaders. Otherwise, she would simply be passing on her power just hoping those who receive it do the right things.

And the Chosen are...

Oleksandar Andvaru, Zaniah Riverthorn and Sebastion Gwerm. Please join Ash Dawncourt in the discussion tab. Follow the format with a word or 2 that is connected to your character. Just a bit of fun.

Well done to everyone else, there were many interesting characters. If only I could take everyone but alas. Best of luck in future games.

Have fun, guys!

Good luck liberating Kenabres!

(Think they'll make it?)

Congrats to those selected. Hope you have a great game.

Good luck guys!

Have fun folks.
