About Joeseph HillAppearance
Background
Antonio always tried to give Joseph the notion that he was to join the Korvosan Guard in order to get out of their miserable life. The boy needed to wear armor everyday, even when playing with his friends, in order to get used to it. After his father died, however, Joseph couldn't bring himself to remove the armor. Although he never succeeded in joining the Guard, he was very clever and always knew how to get himself into and out of trouble. He eventually made a living as an apprentice to Theobald, a renowned alchemist from the Acadamae. Much to his master's dismay, Joseph seemed much more interested in matters of everyday life than the misteries of the arcane. With his newfound influence, Joseph spent most of his time trying to do things for the less fortunate people of the city. One day Theobald became tired of his apprentice's behaviour and let go of him. Theobald decided to open a small office for himself, where he could do investigations on demand for people who were deemed not important enough by the city authorities. But sitting in that office thinking about his parents, his lost loves and opportunities, all the injustice in the world drove Joseph into a depression which made him turn to illegal substances. He became addicted to shiver, an aggressive drug made from a tropical spider's venom. After almost dying, Joseph put himself together with a new resolve for his life. He reopened his office and decided that his addiction was a man's fault. He would bring that man down, not only for himself, but also for all the other lives he ruins. Personality

Traits, feats, skills and languages:
Traits: Drug Addict: Personal Addiction: You were the addict. You blame Gaedren for your brush with death and hate how his drugs are causing similar problems among other youths. Fortunately, your body recovers quickly from toxins, and you gain a +1 trait bonus on Fortitude saving throws. Armor expert: You have worn armor as long as you can remember, either as part of your training to become a knight’s squire or simply because you were seeking to emulate a hero. Your childhood armor wasn’t the real thing as far as protection, but it did encumber you as much as real armor would have, and you’ve grown used to moving in such suits with relative grace. When you wear armor of any sort, reduce that suit’s armor check penalty by 1, to a minimum check penalty of 0. Feats:

Inspiration: An investigator is beyond knowledgeable and skilled—he also possesses keen powers of observation and deduction that far surpass the abilities of others. An investigator typically uses these powers to aid in their investigations, but can also use these flashes of inspiration in other situations. An investigator has the ability to augment skill checks and ability checks through his brilliant inspiration. The investigator has an inspiration pool equal to 1/2 his investigator level + his Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). An investigator’s inspiration pool refreshes each day, typically after he gets a restful night’s sleep. As a free action, he can expend one use of inspiration from his pool to add 1d6 to the result of that check, including any on which he takes 10 or 20. This choice is made after the check is rolled and before the results are revealed. An investigator can only use inspiration once per check or roll. The investigator can use inspiration on any Knowledge, Linguistics, or Spellcraft skill checks without expending a use of inspiration, provided he’s trained in the skill. Inspiration can also be used on attack rolls and saving throws, at the cost of expending two uses of inspiration each time from the investigator’s pool. In the case of saving throws, using inspiration is an immediate action rather than a free action. Trapfinding: An investigator adds 1/2 his level to Perception skill checks made to locate traps and to Disable Device checks (minimum 1). An investigator can use Disable Device to disarm magical traps. [b]Ceaseless observation[b/]: An empiricist’s ability to notice the minutiae of almost everything that happens around him allows him to make shrewd and insightful calculations about people and even inanimate objects. At 2nd level, an empiricist uses his Intelligence modifier instead of the skill’s typical ability for all Disable Device, Perception, Sense Motive, and Use Magic Device checks. He can also use his Intelligence modifier instead of Charisma on any Diplomacy checks made to gather information. This ability replaces poison lore and poison resistance.
