Haru Drakestand's page

Need some advice. With the latest eratta from ultimate equipment, there were a lot of changes. some were not so bad, some really hurt (such as the Jingasa of the fortunate soldier being changed to a deflection bonus) but the one that hurt the worst was by far the brawling enchantment (in my opinion) and it has severly hurt my character, I think. It has gone from a +1 cost (a great deal, but hardly game-breaking) to a +3 cost (ridiculous and useless unless you happen to find it on an armor in campaign mode.)

Some context: I have a PFS (so I have to follow the new rules) Esoteric Magus with a one-level dip into sorcerer, and he utilized brawling armor to get his attack bonus high enough to do stuff. (Click my portrait for his stats)

At level six, without brawling on his armor his to-hit is +10 if fully buffed, or +8/+8 (if using spell combat) and I feel that is just too low. What I need is a way to increase my accuracy, preferably through items (I have plans for his feats.)

While the loss of damage stings, it is nowhere near as bad as the loss of accuracy. Does anyone have any idea for how to boost my to-hit (and don't just say "Amulet of the mighty fists," I have one already.)

Haru rubs his index finger under his nose with a huge smile on his face. "Ha ha! Great fighter?. It's clear he's happy about the comment but is barely able to sustain a thin veneer of humility. "Well, I am a Mahoushi working for the pathfinders, so I've got to be pretty good to keep up with everyone else. I'm still not as good as some others, though.

He turns to Yuki.

I dunno if we're related. I mean, I don't know where I was born, I was raised by my adoptive father for as long as I can remember. Could be, maybe. Then again, he doesn't have my pink hair.

Haru watches with a huge grin on his face as the bird chomps the seedcake in half. "Whoa! Lookit that! That's great!" He starts rummaging through his backpack before finding a piece of Jerky and tossing it to the bird.

"You like meat? Me too, me too. Sorry, that's all I got on me right now. Oh, hum? Oh, my bad, my bad, name's Haru. Haru Drakestand. Nice ta meetcha!"

He reaches out to shake Lissa's hand with a strong grip.

"Oh? Look at the size of that bird! Looks tasty! Don't worry, I wouldn't eat him though, he seems like a nice bird. He's not a stone though. Or is his name Rock? Or is he, like, some sort of magical statue that walks around 'n stuff?

Haru looks intently at the bird.
Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

"No, looks like a normal giant bird. Ah! Mitsuketa! Ooh, nandesuka, korewa. Whoa! Raki! Bonusu!"

From behind the bar Haru pulls out a slice of strawberry cheesecake and a large seed-cake for the bird.

"Ha! Eat up! Someone said it was on the house, I think."

...And I finally realized who Haru is based on.

Ha ha! And here I thought I was being too obvious.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

HA! Natural 1!

The pink-haired man looks at the incoming 'child,' and switches to common, though he still has a noticeable Tien accent.

Whoa! You're a little one ain'tcha? That's so cool! You cun probably sneak into all sorts of places, get into all kindsa trouble! That's awesome!" He begins rummaging around behind the bar. "I wonder if Mira-ne left any sweets back here. I'd give you some ale but I got yelled at last time I gave some to Romeo. . ."

Toshiro rubs his chin thoughtfully.

Without much of a thought to his story, the strange man reaches over and pours another mug of ale, and passes it to his new friend Yuki

"Yuki Toshiro, Miss. Call me Toshiro. I'm sorry for the trouble, but I'm still new in town and have yet to learn the area. I am very grateful for the assistance."

He finishes this last remark with a sly wink. Noticing Haru, he switches to Tien.

** spoiler omitted **

The man stands up and rushes over to meet the other native of Tien. He greets him warmly but smacks him on the back a bit hard, not knowing his own strength.

The man beams a wide grin. It seems he understood the common, but continues to speak in Tien.

"Aah! Tasukatta! Domodomo!" He reaches over the bar and grabs of large stein and pours some beer from a keg into it. "Kampai! Ne! Ne! Yousei-san? Yousei ja ne ka? Namae wa? Ore wa Haru!"

A strangely pink-haired young human of Tien decent wanders into the room, sniffing as he goes. "Iii nioi na! Oo!? Sugge Kyouen jana! Ittatakimasu!" He grabs a turkey leg from the feast and starts chowing down on it. "Oo! Ooshi na! Doushitte kono ii kyouen wa byouen no naka ni iruka?" he says with mouthfulls of food.

A relatively short Tien man loudly throws the doors to the liberty's edge lodge open. He is decked out in light, leather armor (darkleaf lamallar leather), and seems to have no weapons visable on him except a few javalins in his backpack. His hair is strangely pink, it is possible he has some elven ancestors, or perhaps he simply dyes it. The last thing of note is a checkered muffler he wears around his neck despite the relatively nice weather.

"Ooooi!" he shouts. "Dareka iru? Soshite, sake wa doko?"
