The Loom of Fate - The Solrath Consortium Faction Thread

Hi. Nob is still looking for employment. My idea with this concept was to make a tough little scoundrel with infiltration and scouting skills. I also wanted to explore the sling staff as a weapon option.

He could develop into a great mounted slinger later in his career. But his options remain open for now. In any case he is skilled and resourceful.

I filled in most of the crunch in the profile. There may be a few errors here and there, I will continue to make corrections as I see them.

I also mentioned that he is emotionally battle-scarred. This is to give some idea of where his martial training came from, but also as a theme to explore in role playing. I have not elaborated on where he was employed as a warrior...I am still working on that, perhaps I can develop that part of his story through role play. If DM Alaion wishes, I can add this part of his backstory now...if necessary.

I hope you like him.

TRAITS, FEATS & CLASS ABILITIES:

CHARACTER TRAITS
Nob has experience working with leather and tending animals. He is no stranger to war, and he has seen hard battle as a warslinger - his descents into debauchery are in some ways his coping mechanism to deal with the grim memories from that traumatic time in his life.

He has a habit of avoiding any confrontation with his past and concocts elaborate lies to disguise his perceived vulnerabilities.
RACIAL...........Fearless, Halfling Luck, Outrider, Keen Senses
Trait...........Fast Talker
Trait...........Armour Expert
Drawback........Hedonistic

FEATS
Nob is a bit of a crackshot with the sling.
Point Blank Shot
The Loom of Fate - The Solrath Consortium Faction Thread

I am preparing a Halfling Ranger (Urban Ranger template). He is a roguish type who had the misfortune to suffer the trauma of battle at a too-young age. He seems to cope by indulging in hedonistic pleasures with reckless abandon. Yet he has a knack of b~!@~%*~ting his way from one fleeting fortune to the next...and even convinced some apparatchiks in the Consortium that he might be of use to their cause....

BACKSTORY:

Nob Knottyswitch is a strapping halfling lad in a well-oiled mail shirt and a military-issue scout's outfit.

Nob is back at home in his old stomping grounds of Magnimar after spending a year as an itinerant "handyman" returning from a distant campaign by way of Korvosa. Nob knows his way around coaches, stables, homesteads, strongboxes and tavern wenches. He is proficient in tending to the animals or caring for leathers and armour. He knows what to say and do to impress the boss and make himself useful, but he is even better at screwing the pooch and making it look like he's working

Despite his aptitude for finding gainful employment, he is not always good at keeping it. He is always indulging in debauched habits which get him into trouble...such as drink, women, pesh and less-than-sensible get rich "schemes". He has known hardships on the road and is a slick little rat. He has learned to survive, and can punch above his weight if he has to. He carries a big sword, which he knows how to wield, and he's a bit of a crack shot with a slingstaff.

He figures that time has clouded over the memories of those Magnamarian aquaintances who grew less-than-fond of him back in the old days. Besides, he sees the prospect of lucrative gains to be made working for some mysterious folks he met on the way. He managed to convince them of his business acumen and dependability. He is on his way there to meet them now, on his way to to their lair in Underbridge to seek employement.

You can check out his profile...but it still needs work. You'll get the idea.

A post per day is good for me. When action steps up I tend to post more frequently.
