About Pip Hip HoorayPROFILE Pip’s grandmother, Mahana was a gnomish druid from the Mwangi island of Bhopan, off the shores of Nex. Mahana regaled Pip all through her childhood with tales of animal headed-people, verdant jungles and a fairy king. The rest of Pip's family were gnomes who had trained badgers in East Gate for generations. When her Uncle Acorn Hooray got sued by a land-grubbing neighbor, Pip successfully defended him by referring to Absalom’s ancient badger leash laws. She soon became obsessed with all aspects of legal work. She currently works as a defense attorney for the Envoy Alliance, helping out Pathfinders in trouble everywhere. ★ ---- ★ ---- ★ ---- ★ Bot Me!:
Pip likes using her skills to help people. She has awesome bardic lore, so feel free to roll on any knowledge. In combat, she inspires courage, intimidates or shoots bows and arrows. Pip's Saves Resolve 9th
