About Barbara "Barbie" Schmidt

"Life is hard in Ouros for a girl with no family. Fortunately, that is not my case, or at least it wasn't until six months ago. My big brother Hugo took care of me when our parents died, killed in an ambush while they were delivering their trade goods to Bastion; he managed to keep our little house by finding temporary jobs here and there, and thanks to him there was always some food I could put on our table. Most of all, Hugo loved me and accepted me with my quirks and my unusual interests, especially magic. Magic! I've always been fascinated by it, and I seem to have a true talent, so I've been studying and trying it out as best as I could, with his blessing and support. And frankly, in a realm scarred by dragons that's been at war as long as anybody can remember, where life is hard and unforgiving and the weaks wither away like autumn leaves, magic is the only thing that makes me feel like I have some kind of control over my life...

About a year ago, things became grim. Getting a job was harder and harder, and we found ourselves scraping our living and wearing out what savings we had, coin by coin. It must have been desperation what drove Hugo to do what he did, because he's a good guy, he really is... it was just that one time, but they got him and sentenced him to serve as a draftee in Bastion. He was dragged away, and I can still see the desperate look in his eyes when he realized there would be no one to take care of me, that I would be utterly alone.

I somehow managed to get into an old lady's good graces and became her personal maid. That provided me with the means to survive but of course I had to let go of my magic and my studies! The old lady liked me more than I realized though, because when she died, three weeks ago, it turned out that she had left me a little sum of money. It will hardly last long, but it will be enough to buy some stuff and leave for Bastion. My brother is there, and also knowledge, and magic: it's time to turn the page, leave this place and see what life has in store for me outside this empty nest."

Arcane Reservoir max (3+1)=4, daily=3

Arcanist Exploit: Potent Magic (Whenever the arcanist expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase the caster level of a spell, the caster level increases by 2 instead of 1. Whenever she expends 1 point from her arcane reservoir to increase the spell's DC, it increases by 2 instead of 1)

Consume Spells (Su): At 1st level, an arcanist can expend an available arcanist spell slot as a move action, making it unavailable for the rest of the day, just as if she had used it to cast a spell. Doing this adds a number of points to her arcane reservoir equal to the level of the spell slot consumed. She cannot consume cantrips (0 level spells) in this way. Points gained in excess of the reservoir's maximum are lost.
