Cathryn's page

Cathryn is very much a support character - she'd be a little sad as the only melee, so she works as fifth member, if you like. Not to toot my own horn.

I think she's as done as she's going to get, now.

Wrote up a very basic background to her. More will be forthcoming.

I'm still around - I've just been sick the last couple days and haven't gotten around to writing a backstory.

I have an idea for a concept, sort of branching off from the bard direction. Would it be appropriate to start out as an impoverished knight-errant? She wouldn't be able to afford a horse, but she'd technically be a knight, sworn to whichever sovereign rules the land.

Maybe she's the descendant of a great noble line fallen on harsh times, maybe she's just from a family which has always been one step above freeholding farmers.

Would it be appropriate to be a knight-errant sworn to Viscount Langard of Verbobonc?

Also, would you allow me to take Iomedae's Divine Fighting Technique, crediting it to Heironeous? He shares her favored weapon and alignment, so I figured they were a fair enough match. If you need a link, it's listed here as Inspiring Sword.

Mechanically, the plan is to go Sister In Arms Cavalier 4/Bard 1/Battle Herald X and be a melee/buffer kind of character. Also probably picking up the Flagbearer feat, once the party is thrown together tightly enough to form a real band.

And yes I think some of Iomedae's flavor traits/feats will work with Heironeous. I had considered using some Hellknight flavoring for npc agents of Hextor.

Owing that knighthoods really were not offered to low level fighters 1st edition granted rank titles with each level it is easily feasible that an aspiring esquire of Heironeous could be undergoing his own trials and awaiting a sponsor to stand for his testing to enter a knightly order.

Sir Rufus of Hommlet is actually waiting to reach 9th level when he will be recalled to Veluna City and formally inducted into the Knights of the Hart. Until then his title is honorary, with limited benefits but still carrying all of the associated responsibilities.

That sounds good. This is the Alias I'll be using - there's nothing but a statblock there yet, though.

This is the character I'm(Groundhog) working on. She's an archer barbarian.

Gold: 3d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1) = 11

Aww. You guys have fun though.

*Steps gracefully onto the hype train*

Hey, I forgot to post again! Anyway, I've expanded what I wanted to expand, so Cathryn is about as ready as she's ever going to get.

Groundhog here, this is the character I'm working on.

I'll post again when she's totally complete.
