Well, time is still tight but I did manage to add another paragraph to the personality section. Not as fancy as I hoped and very 'cut to the chase', but it will have to do I guess.
I'm going to try to get some of the personality stuff for Naumys tied together a elaborated better today if I can, but I had a super busy weekend so I don't know if I'll get to it for sure.
@Agenhei: Ugh, I copy/paste in a sheet from another character to keep the formatting and make changes. I always miss something though. Fixed. A few minor things: I chose an Erutaki Coat for armor, but what time of year and so forth is it at the campaign's current location? Is it too hot for the location? I like to refluff weapons when there isn't one that fits what I want the character to be using. In this case the boarding axe isn't literally a ship's boarding axe, but a hand axe with the spike for ice climbing. The kukri is a long, heavy bladed knife with an antler handle. I see Ilverani as being more basic and outside the mainstream as far as elven weapons are concerned. No elven curved blades and so forth. I wish the Broken-back seax wasn't exotic, it sounds like a good fit. I've currently chosen Swift Foot as the Rage Power Naumys can share. It's not flashy, but who can't use a little extra movement? Rage Power are tricky to combine with Twilight Speaker though because moral and competence bonus are so common and won't stack with the baseline Inspired Ferver bonuses. If Naumys is selected I'd like to put Rage Power selection, including this first one, to a party vote to see what everyone likes most. Many of the classic go to rage powers aren't viable so it may be harder to find things players want. Does that sound alright?
I think I might have it: "Stars Like Rain". Hm, I guess "Stars Fall Like Rain" is absolutely crystal clear about the meaning, but it's kind of long.
Ah yeah, I'd forgotten about that. Thinking of one is gonna be fun!
Naumys here is my application. She's an Ilverani Elf who is a Twilight Speaker Skald. She's focused around archery, social skills, and party support and bluffing. Twilight Speakers lose most of the knowledge benefits of Skalds, but their Inspired Rage performance is replaced by a buff all character types can benefit from. I'm still reworking her background and so forth but the fundamentals are all in place. She would be joining the party at Brinewall.
I went digging around on the back shelves and I actually have a skald already built who could maybe work for the campaign. Built for applying to another campaign but didn't get in. She's be a fish out of water but I kind of like the idea of a traveling ambassador/explorer getting caught up in things by accident. Kind of a 13th Warrior feel to it, if anyone remembers that movie from back when. I'll give bloodrager vs skald some thought.
Congrats to the Party! Have a great time!
Naumys is finished now. I should give her sheet one more look through for editing purposes, but I'll wait until tomorrow so I can do it with fresh eyes.
@Greta: Would the Green Faith fit what you're thinking about? It's specifically Druidic and venerates nature in general. Or maybe you're making a spirits distinction that excludes the Green Faith?
Naumys here is the character I'm applying with. She's a Snowcaster Elf Twilight Speaker Skald who accidentally ended up way farther south than she intended. Now she's glommed onto Shalelu to learn all she can about getting along in the world south of the Crown of the World. Shalelu is also now her best buddy (at least that how Naumys sees it). I'm still working on some sections, personality and progression mostly, but the fundamentals are finished. I should have everything done by tomorrow evening.
In the late afternoon three days after the caravan’s arrival, a scruffy blonde elven woman walks into the Rusty Dragon. Shalelu Andosana goes to the bar and asks for watered-down ale. When it comes, she takes it and walks straight into the back kitchen without asking permission. Some while later Shalelu comes back with Ameiko, chatting. Ameiko refills her drink, and returns to the kitchen. Shalelu nurses her drink for a few minutes, seeming deep in thought. Then she notices Inari and Talene when she comes to give Inari her news. Shalelu saunters over to them, saying “hello”. As well as Inari can remember from several months before, she is wearing exactly the same clothes she wore the last time he saw her. Though perhaps there are a few more mends and patches now. ”So you’re both part of the Ameiko’s crew going to Brinewall eh?” Shalelu’s voice is soft and even. Not monotone, but it conveys very little of what she might think behind her words. ”I’ve been recruited too. Ameiko sent me a message telling me she needed me in Sandpoint immediately. ‘An emergency’ she called it. Would have been nice of her to elaborate just a little. I busted ass two days and nights to get here.” Shalelu sighs. ”Ameiko does like her drama though no?” ”There’s a dinner here tonight for everyone who’s going. Supposed to be a combination of a planning session and a meet and greet. Should be interesting.” She does emphasize the last word. ”I’m going to get a little rest first. See you then.” With that she goes upstairs to her traditional room. |
