This character was briefly in a Reign of Winter that didn't quite make it to Irrisen. He's a scout/support caster and eventually going Arcane Archer. I can update him for your game if selected.
I have a character (this one) from a Reign of Winter game that died while we were level four. I can update him if he sounds like what you're looking for. He's headed for EK and Arcane Archer. Spoiler: We hadn't quite made it to Whitethrone, but it seemed like we were getting close.
"I see no reason not to accept your generous offer," Adrian says. "Except, of course, for our new companion," he reminds his companions in a hushed voice, "Are we to leave him to his own devices for the evening?"
Adrian, careful to avoid the creature's claws, falls back to give Grimgisli room to retreat and fires and arrow at the mold.
Allowing the illusory flames to fade, Adrian takes a step out of the troll's reach and casts a coruscating ray of necromantic energies at the monstrous creature.
"I'm not sure for how much longer, but my little trick seems to be holding it at bay for now. You should help the others with Finngarth," Adrian says quietly, now behind Grimgisli.
Adrian falls back and casts another spell. As his disembodied voice fades, a wall of dancing flames silently erupts between the two archers and the troll.
Ah... well that is unfortunate.
I'm so close... I couldn't see the troll from further away? :anxiousface:
Then Adrian would have cast vanish and gone back outside rather than trying to solo the encounter. So, we'd end up in a very similar situation either way since I imagine he's still going to attack us.There are factors involved here (that you will soon find out about) that would very much complicate that plan... Adventure is the thing that happens when plans get complicated!
"Get ready to run in." Run in where? We're already inside the cave...
Bow in hand, Adrian creeps into the cave ahead of the others as a cloak of shadows envelops him. He does not see the troll, but he does see a man covered in fungi matching Finngarth's description. Given the man's glassy eyes and slackjaw, Adrian suspects he will not be easy to extract stealthily and signals to the others to join him. As the others arrive, they hear heavy footsteps behind them. Adrian quickly weaves the somatic components of a simple spell and, muttering a short incantation, vanishes from sight. "I'll go check it out," he whispers as he quietly makes his way back toward the cave's mouth.
Glad that log-in unpleasantness is finally over... Anyway, Grandmother, it's probably a little late now, but I had planned to sneak into the cave ahead of the party if the tree didn't strike anyone as suspicious. In general, if a knowledge check or something doesn't give Adrian the impression that his opponent can see invisibility, he's pretty confident in his ability to avoid being caught and will use his cloak of shadows ability to scout ahead casting vanish if he needs to beat a hasty retreat.
Ah the ad space, right. But profit was what I was getting at, yeah. Also, I misread you earlier and thought you said "If the GM wants him changed" thinking you didn't realize who Artofregicide was. :p
Artofregicide is the GM... But, yeah, Archives of Nethys always used the names printed and gave the lore. The reason d20pfsrd doesn't has something to do with their having their own shop from what I've read.
I almost responded, but Adrian doesn't consciously question the idea of slaying monsters. He's just aware that he could be judged by his ancestry, and that that's not quite fair, but he only recognizes the similarities deep down. That is to say that, as long as no one is taking it personally, conflicts of character are interesting and can be entertaining.
"In case you were familiar with it's cousins, it's worth noting that moss trolls aren't susceptible to acid like some of their kin," Adrian warns, "but fire is even more effective than usual and frightens them. They are, as Vinccenso pointed out, however, more discerning than other trolls, and, if they suspect you can threaten them with fire, you can easily become the singular target of their ire."
Well, I was asking about hunting/foraging rolls because that and the bonus vs the elements slow down travel, and I'm not sure if the speed reductions stack. If so, we'd be better served with furs. If not, it doesn't matter.
idk if you'd rather we normally do this in the gameplay thread with ooc comments, but since i didn't have anything ic to add yet, i didn't want to clutter. adrian's question would be regarding whether or not it shares the same vulnerabilities as its cousins. it would be quite unfortunate to find that this particular troll's regeneration isn't stopped by fire/acid and have nothing else prepared.
"That may be, friend," Adrian replies with a sly smile. At the mention of his "friends," Adrian looks briefly confused. "Ah yes... 'Friends' may be a strong word. Not that they strike me as hostile or malicious, but we've only just met. Indeed, it feels as though our meeting here is... more than mere coincidence." He pauses, momentarily lost in his thoughts, before adding, "Oh! but to answer your question, we had only just been apprised of the situation before you joined us, so I cannot speak for the others, however, I have never been one to shy away from hunting monsters."
Adrian's gray eyes narrow behind wisps of his inky black hair at the sight of the witch, but something inside him immediately recognizes a sort of kinship. When the others approach, it becomes rather obvious that, if nothing else, she's not like other the Jadwiga he's encountered. Standing up straight and offering a pale hand to the large man, Adrian smiles a warm but tight-lipped smile. Despite having been inside near the warmth of the fire, though, his hand retains little heat—poor circulation probably. "Adrian Arsbeta," he says. Then, to Irina, "Odd indeed, but it feels somewhat... serendipitous."
actually, i didn't see the survival kit lol. probably because it was under kits, and i looked under tools. thanks! i already have the basic cold weather gear. i was just trying to make it as easy as possible for the group to pass all their checks.
okay, i believe i've cleaned up my backstory if you want to take a look, Grandmother. also, i wanted to ask about a couple of masterwork tools. it says they should either be limited uses or have a very narrow use, so i was hoping to get a hatchet (or something) and a hunting knife for +2 circumstantial bonuses on survival checks to gain a bonus to fort saves against weather and on survival checks to "get along in the wild" (hunt and forage while traveling) respectively. i didn't just buy them because they seemed of the "ask your GM first" variety of purchase.
i don't remember whose, but i noticed background skills on someone's character sheet. i don't remember seeing anything about them in character creation. did i miss something? because i would love a few more skill points...
greetings, friends! |
