Doctor Rupert Locke's page

I would actually be very interested in resubmitting the false Doctor as it looks like you can never have enough skills and knowledge checks in a world such as this.

Updated Doctor Locke's background a little. I made him a little more of a con man who just happens to have a talent for mesmerism and dream reading. He thinks that such a thing is the perfect time for a long con as a 'doctor' with all the dilettantes out there and their obsession with the occult and unknown. When he finds a dead doctor he takes the man's name and becomes reborn as Doctor Locke, a new specialist in parapsychology.

I really wanted to make him much more morally grey and almost reprehensible when he takes people for a ride who actually need help. When you're the only game in town and you get results, you can make the rules of the game so they say. That being said, he doesn't quite know where his intrinsic talent comes from and just goes with it, sometimes getting results (even painful ones) and sometimes getting failures (such as his hook). He has almost become the mask, so to speak.

I like to leave backgrounds fairly general and build character backgrounds and interactions kind of organically as the game goes on but if you'd like more stuff (as I'm fairly vague) please let me know. This is not to say that long backgrounds are bad but they aren't my style in general.

Thank you for the active responses! I will definitely have to mull over that FCB because it is very unique Also its the perfect place to avoid Color Spray because its way too flashy for this world.

With the Armor Table, if you take a higher proficiency do you gain the higher bonus as well? It only mention what your class grants.

There was only mention of Skill Unlocks but I'm wondering are the Occult Skill Unlocks available as well for Psychic Casters or those with the Psychic Sensitivity feat. There is a lot of really cool flavour in there I would hate to miss.

Also changed the background to Charlatan even though it overlaps with the Mesmerist skills. It definitely fits better though.

Posting up here so the link doesn't get lost if I change the character name.
Information is all in the alias as well as some writing examples.

I can get post examples if requested.

@GM Oblivion: What is your opinion on the Nagaji Mesmerist FCB? It adds +1/5th of a HD limit to your Mental Potency ability, allowing spells like Sleep and Deep Slumber to stay more relevant.
