The guy keeps joinking all my spots! Just kidding he is fun.

Self thought as well, I noticed I could effect people with songs when I was about 8, which proved useful in escaping a Galtean camp for "children of enemies of the people", Andoran has been really kind to me, never expected to get admitted to the Opera as a foreign refugee kid. Auri reminiscenses.
Aurelie de Simone-Simmons, Soprano and Fencer. She introduces herself.
I would assume, that you are a practicioner of the arcane? May I enquire from which specific tradition? She asks Henrietta as she eyes her inquisitively, her breating already steady. As you are likely aware, most of a bard magics would be supportive, with some sound based disabling abilities thrown in the mix. Based on the standards of all purposes teams, I would half expected a ranged combatant who is skilled at perception, stealth and finding traps to walk in any moment.
Revised skill list, since one person having disable device is a good idea: Switching Savant (perform sing) for vagabond child, picking up a masterwork thieves tools while I am at it. I dont actually have trapfinding though, and my perception isnt the best. Should still work though. 6 skills per level=30 Skill points.
30 SKill points for adventure skills

Oh, dont sulk to much Misseu Elias, in the future, my constant cheating will effect your enemies! Auri states, To be frank, laughter is a better remedy for panic then valor, humor is more common the bravery after all. Know, how to make up for this? I will just apply my magical abilities in his favor in our first actual combat, that typically gets people around. She thinks.
Auri very gently boinks him on the head. I told you Misseu, I cheat, all the time!
The misfortune is hilarious, great job!
Hmm, what is so funny Madmoiselle!Auri speaks at the newcomer as she is struck with some semi bardic inspiration. She keeps probing his defenses as she spins a tale On the subject of grappling as une countre to opportune attacque une riposte, there was une vile Antipaladin of Deskari named Staunton Vhane, who has been led to believe that one of his captains wished to betray him! Incensed, he tried to murder her, but failed to find any purchase due to her parrying, this was when he had the excellent idea to Grapple her!
5 foot step away from Elias
Encouraged by her hit, Auri almost dances, weaving intricate, almost enticing and inviting, patterns with her blade before striking again at an unexpected angle, feinting at his sword hand before diverting to his leading knee.
Lets see how long you can keep this up Mon Ami, le opportune parry une ripose? Are you trying to entice me into grappling vou? To the great dismay of many, such agile maneuvers are not yet part of moix repoirtoire!
She gives a quite innocent looking smile, clearly enjoying this.
AC + shield for Auri would be 10+5+3=18.
Vou know what is more attractive then myself? Aurelie flashes Elias a white and somewhat predatory smile as he retrieves the rapiers.
Yes Misseu, I cheat, all the time, and typically get away with it too.
Auri, immidiatly reacts, dropping her wine ecanter, which she was holding in her right hand, before catching it in her left hand while simultaenously moving her right hand to the hilt of her rapier. Please Sir, do not startle me. I do not believe that we have been acquainted?
Sense motive <30, or Kn. Local 15:
You do recognice her, Auri is a Galtean refugee, who has since then entered a quite promising operatic career, blowing through mostly Chelish notions of Opera, and instead developing an operatic style notable for its lack of "regularities" and for its direct appeal to emotion, passion an beauty that would transcend class divides! Oh, you remember she is an Orphan, and grew up in part in a camp for "children of enemies of the people", before being rescued from this place by Andoran forces! Sense motive DC31:
Elias are dealing with a semi professional paranoid, who was about half a second away from stabbing you with an enchanted rapier in your private parts! Aurelie quicky mage hands another glass, pours her wine into it and offers it to Elias with a most friendly smile. By your movement patterns Sir Elias, you are a bit of a fencer yourself, perhaps you wish to sparr? I believe I have seen some practice rapiers in our immidiate vicinity?
The Forgefather? The Redhead asks I can certainly appreciate the lasting beauty of his creations, my songs are rather epheremal in contrast. She pauses It must indeed be unusual... Let us think though. What can we currenty infer? A Bard and a Cleric? As such a task for which a fair bit of lore, and not just brawn is required? I doubt we are all who have been summoned, let us see who, or perhaps what, else walks on? On the subjects of artistry though She walks over to a a bottle and
Some wine perhaps Sir?
A fairly attractive Redhead wearing a black armor, apparently made partly of unusually processed leaves paces up and down in the meeting room. She is of average height, rather slim and
Nocticulas t*@*, I will meet le President! Some people have told me to never meet your heroes, but I am certain le President will be different! OK, Focus! Her thoughts race. Bonjour Ladies and Gentlemen, have you been summoned as well? Je Suis Aurelie de Simone-Simmons, you can call me Auri if that is quicker in combat.
It is quite possible to miss being recruited, happened to me before. PM should solve this :)
Mythic is bonkers.
I had some parties with a Bard and an SKald (who hand out mostly morale boni actually) oh boy the buffs! Our TWF Slayer got +6 to STR, Con, immunity to prone, +3 insight AC, -1 AC, all his weapons counted as all alignments, +3 resistance, +3 morale to will from the Skald (World Serpent Totem) and then the Bard buffs, and then also Heroism with extreme mood swings. Also, Spirit totem is one of the worst totem lines for barbs, one of the best one for skalds.
For what its worth: Aurelie Buff package: Performance
Heroism:
Tears to wine:
Everybody gets tears to wine and performance, our frontline gets heroism on top. What is often undervalued is the +4 to perception from that combo. I will try to see if I can get an OK range option somehow, but I currently dont see it.
I am probably fine heroisming Julian Elias and Bennie, it is alas the lot of the Bard to use like, all of their level 2 slots for heroism :). I actually seem to have the highest AC in the party (I think Julian gets more with barkskin and shield), so my combat will be performing, trashtalking and providing flanks.
Oh, do not worry mon Ami, several of our party members can have quite the skill in the sacred art of makeup. We will disguise vou as well, perhaps a rock? Perhaps a Golem? Perhaps une Siege tower? Qui, une siege tower is a perfect fit for your stately figure, excellement! Aurelie starts teasing.
Dippity Doppity dot
So, a bonded Witch, a Bard, a Paragon of Torag, an unchained rouge and a swashbuckler.

Bonjour mon amis, lets us liberate the downtrodden from their vile opressors! Vive la Libere! Vive le Andorien!
I could slot it in by exchanging traits, will not get me into being able to deal with magical traps, but here are trait ways to get disable device, vagabond child would fit with Aurelie earlier upbringing, or lack thereoff. Ideally someone else would spot the traps for me :).
Definitly an impressive list to chose from!
For me it is background first, crunch later. I am seeing my character as a very optimistic, genuinely good charismatic teamplayer, who is more a support character, and has a idealistic rags to riches background. Urban Skald, Bard, some Oracles or Omdura (if thats allowed, never played one) would all work. 30 point buy and starting at level 5 very much makes we want to play MAD classes too.
Wonderful! Another Shelyn bard! Surely Aurelie and Willim must have heard of each other. Possibly even met. Any ideas? Aurelie could very much be turned into an Urban Skald, which fully stacks with a Bards inspire courage mechanically. Urban Skalds tend more towards reach attack builds as they have martial weapon proficiency, and have less feat slots because they typically invest feats into boosting their inspired rage further. Her background was beign a downtrodden probably orphaned refugee from Galt, singing and begging initially to not starve, but got discovered as a genuine Musical talent, becoming a Soprano singer in one of Andoran opera houses, she still doesnt full believe it, and is occassionally hold up as the "model refugee". She had doubts if she wasnt just a political prop, but genuinely decided that she would show that Andoran actually lives up to its ideals, and probably beleives in these ideals more then many actual Andorans.
Mightypions completely submission here,
Questions: HP are rolled how? Is it ok to keep some spell selections and one feat unspent pending the actual party make up? |
