Matthew Hazeman's page

Man, Spheres is just so friggen cool! I wish I could reconcile it with Alchemy, but Vancian casting honestly just fits better with the flavor of Alchemy. Besides, there isn't really another class that fits Matt's whole "natural talent and intelligence" thing, so I have to stick with the normal. Another game, and I'll be thrilled to work with the concept!

Hey folks! Just to let you guys know, Matt does have a couple of Teamwork feats, namely Outflank and Paired Opportunists. Thankfully, as an Eldritch Guardian, he does have someone to work with him on using these feats, but it'll definitely be beneficial to others to take advantage of this opportunity as well, particularly those of the rogue variety.

And here is complete Matt crunch. Still going to be writing up backstory, but the hard part is now out of the way. Yay!

Matthew Hazeman, Besmaran Breaker
Cardinal Rules of this Job: No Break Is Worth Dying For; Incapacitate By Design, Kill By Necessity; No Breaker Shall Slay Another Breaker; No Breaker Shall Refuse Aid to Another Breaker; No Breaker Shall Interfere With Another's Break; and In the Break One Incapacitates or Kills, Never Both

Intelligence is a trait greatly admired in Golarion. After all, a brilliant mind can help one gain powers one could call godlike, and can ensure quite a profitable living at the very least. However, for all the good intelligence does, it can lead to one thing that most consider intolerable: Sheer, utter boredom. This has been a defining factor for most of Matthew Hazeman's life. Unfortunately for him, his family was rather comfortably high-middle class thanks to their work at the Bank of Abadar, leading to a rather dull regimented life in Northern Ambervale for the boy.

That is, until Matthew hit his teenage years. Then he had the most welcome distraction of being taken hostage by a band of criminal known as the Besmara Breakers during a heist at the Bank of Abadar. The Breakers were a local group of Besmara worshippers who specialized in breaking into (and out of) any and all secure locations. Much to the group's surprise, Matt proved quite capable of escaping the cell they were keeping him in, a fact they only discovered when they found him making himself a meal when he was supposed to be safe inside his cell. But rather than grow angry with the boy, the leader of the Breakers merely laughed, and immediately set out to develop Matthew's natural talents.

Finally, Matt had found something that interested him more than simple number-crunching. He took to it like a fish took to water, and quickly began to learn his new trade. For years, Matt has worked with the Besmara Breakers, earning a steady profit and enormous amounts of entertainment at the same time. From cons to infiltrations to prison breaks to heists, Matt has worked with the Breakers on a great many jobs, and has proven his worth time and again. Now, however, a promotion is on the line for him, requiring that he prove himself to be one of the best Breakers out there. Thankfully, a job that should certainly prove this has recently arisen. After all, what better way to prove his skills than to break a princess out of bondage?

Alright, working on completing Matt here. Just one big question before I start spending his gold and the like: Do we have to use Spheres for Alchemy? I ask only because of the Investigator side of things for Matt here uses it, and I sadly couldn't trade it off thanks to the fact that Empiricist doesn't stack with the Sleuth Archetype. And while it might make me a dirty rotten munchkin, I'd rather keep Empiricist.
