Question of Doom!:
Lucin stares cooly over the rims of his eyeglasses at you. "There are several interesting assumptions in your question, friend. The first is that I agree that those conditions you mention are problems for the city. Why, take the Devils you mentioned. You assume they are a problem, but many would not agree. Those in power are perfectly happy with the devils presence and influence in the city. Your second assumption is that I would do something to change the status quo. As it is, I am moderately successful and not too put upon by the powers that be. What would it serve ME to change the status quo? Some sense of morality or obligation? Believing I have such sentiments is quite an assumption in itself, especially in a city such as this one. This leads me to ask, 'Who are you to ask such questions of me?' A snitch for the Hellknights perhaps, or was it just a casual question?"

Luician finally ends his response and looks down at his drink as he swirls the glass around. Finally he looks back at you with a smirk, "I didn't answer your question? A pity. Perhaps I just like my head securely on my shoulders. "


GM Mug:
I think the Vivisectionist archetype was largely meant to give an Island of Dr. Moreau sort of feel, thus the Torturous Transformation ability. That is the really evil part to me (the Torturers Eye ability is also pretty evil as intended).

I read the abilities and thought that it would be a cool take on the spymaster/assassin type of character that poses as a doctor, especially after 3rd level when Cruel Anatomist ability kicks in. It was only through the use of traits to gain a few key social abilities that this would work though. Other skills, such as acrobatics and stealth will be covered by extracts at 2nd level.

All this being said, I don't plan on playing Lucian as mad scientist tinkering with human experimentation. I used the archetype to represent the more roguish training he has received from the spymaster for House Wintrish. He is LN because he does have a personal code, and is not into just killing for the pleasure of it. He does what is necessary to support his house and city. He'd almost be good if it wasn't for his lack of consideration about killing. If we could work out a way to lose the Torturous Transformation ability in favor of something more fitting to the concept at a later level, then I would be happy to do so. I do see that the Torturer's Eye could be an appropriate ability because Lucian would torture someone if he felt he needed to and has likely received some training in it (I will be taking Intimidation later).


I already had this character made, so the crunch is all there. I hope you like the background which is also included in the profile.


I didn't know we were auditioning :-). Oh, me and my lazy soul.


I was confused, and fixed the background.


This is The Dorf. Here is the character I posted about earlier. Just let me know if you have any questions/concerns.


There you are.


This is the character. I have not added the background and appearance sections yet, but I will do so tomorrow. Is it ok if I buy alchemical items and potions that I can make for the crafting cost?

Assuming you roll Hit Points:
1d8 ⇒ 7
1d8 ⇒ 3
