Carlson Haddix's page

Ten Minute Background
Important Background Facts
1. Carlson’s family was from a small village in northern Andoran.
2. Carlson’s hamlet was overrun when he was 15 by a roving band of monsters, children of Lamashtu. It was destroyed.
3. Carlson is a fastidious, well kept man who wears modest clothing and speaks simply and bluntly.
4. Carlson is withdrawn and contemplative. He worships Erastil and has vowed to follow his tenants and protect other villages by hunting down monsters.

Two goals for the character
1. Wipe out the followers to Lamashtu in Andoran so that they cannot harm any more villages.
2. Make amends to the villagers who he left to die.

Two Secrets involving the character
1. Carlson was returning home from the market in the next village when he saw the band of Ogres and abominations coming. He fled into the woods and didn’t make it back to the village to warn his family. He gave himself to a monastery and has lived in guilt ever since.
2. Several of Carlson’s family members survived and were either sold as slaves or kept as captives by the band that destroyed the village.

Two People Tied to your character
1. Abbot Greybeard- the dwarven monk who took Carlson in and trained him in clear his mind of guilt and embrace the clarity of of Erastil.
2. Ragnek the Huge: the leader of the ogre band the destroyed Carlson’s village.

Notes
-Carlson has a rather clear cut view of right and wrong. As long as no direct harm comes to people, he is relatively apathetic, but he does not tolerate cruelty or aggression. And he hates ogres.

Vow Of Truth
Restriction: The monk is not allowed to deliberately speak any lies, including bluffing, stating half-truths with the intent to deceive, exaggerating, telling white lies, and so on. This applies to all forms of communication. If presented with circumstances where telling the truth would bring harm to another, the monk remains silent. Many monks of this vow also take a vow of silence to show their commitment.
Benefit: A monk with this vow increases his ki pool by 1 ki point for every 5 monk levels (minimum +1)

Vow of Cleanliness
Restriction: A monk undertaking this vow must wash daily. He must change into fresh clothes daily or shortly after his robes become dirty. His appearance must be kept immaculate, including either neatly braiding or shaving off his hair (and, for male monks, maintaining a clean-shaven face). His vow forbids him from willingly touching the filthy, diseased, dead, or undead (though he may attempt to cleanse or heal those suffering from disease), though using manufactured weapons to attack these creatures is allowed.
Benefit: A monk with this vow increases his ki pool by 1 ki point for every 5 monk levels (minimum +1).
