Thanks Stacey! I must say that I am a little surprised by Finwik - he is developing differently than I had intended and I'm really interested to see him continue to grow.
While his charisma would help the ruler bonus, I think he would be more suited for diplomat or spymaster. I just can't wrap my head around a little gnome rogue being the ruler of a kingdom. It seems far too serious of a role for this quirky rogue.
I could certainly imagine him going to a foreign kingdom, entertaining their ruler in the evening, then sneaking through the castle during the night looking for riches or collecting information.
I could also see him organizing and overseeing a vast spy network and using the information they collect to the benefit of himself and the kingdom.
As for worshipping Erastil, that would be amazing for the stag helm bonus but Finwik isn't overly religious. He's the kind of guy who would have a necklace with a symbol on it for every deity. You know, the guy who will offer up a quick prayer to whatever deity fits the situation.
