Male Human Fighter 1 - 13/13HP - AC16/T13/F13 - F4 R3 W0 - +4 Perc - +3 Init - CMD 15
Sorry, sleep and then work kept me away from the forums. I think it is wise if I make a cleric for a couple of reasons:
1) We already got a lot of skillful characters.
2) We already have frontliners.
3) We lack divine casting.
4) We especially lack methods of removing nasty conditions, something a cleric (eventually) can do.
If it is okay with AardV, I'll draft my character today and post in the gameplay thread later?
Rough outline:
-Cleric of Gozreh.
-Gnome or human .. leaning towards gnome!
-A native of the desert, he has embraced the power of the winds.
-Support caster.
The trip from Augustana to Sothis was an amazing experience. Clear blue skies and wisps of white clouds were to be seen above and they gave Raymond a blank canvas to paint his thoughts upon. Not exactly blessed as a poet, he scribbled away in his small notebook nonetheless and it was then, after he had gone through this routine for a couple of days, that a bulky figure with an, to Raymond at least, outlandish accent asked him "what you be scribblin' in that book o' yers? A simple enough question that planted the seed of friendship. The days that followed they spoke about life, plans and how life always got in the way of plans. Gus was a man on a mission, guided on his path by Ragathiel. Raymond was a man on a mission, to see his pockets filled with gold, guided by nothing but his own ambition and skills.
Raymond is an easy-going kind of guy who, while loving the idea of making it big time, is someone who highly values friendship and would do anything to help a friend. Lemme know if this is something you can work with.
Not those damned Chelish again! He wiped the sweat off his brow with the back of his hand, resisting the temptation to throw a glance over his shoulder. The iron-studded boots of the Chelish made a sound unlike any other soldier footwear. Moreau didn't need to turn around yet his curiousity got the better of him. A couple of beady eyes stared right back at him, but before the lieutenant could order the two soldiers forward Moreau already was half-way to the open window. Two truths hit him as the ground below approached. His fence had betrayed him. His colleague had betrayed him. And then a third truth came knocking. Pain shot through his right arm as he rolled over the uneven cobblestone street. Above him he heard the familiar sound of a crossbow being cocked. Before the device could be aimed at him, he had already started running.
Later that day, once he had finally found a way out of the small settlement on the border where Andoran and Cheliax met, he knew that his time here was done. The slim margins couldn't beat the prospect of being sacrificed to Asmodeus and having to spent all of eternity in hell. Time for a new adventure, some new opportunities. He realized he knew just the guy for it - an exiled Taldorian nobleman by the name of Costeau, nowadays a law abiding citizen of Absalom. He had been trying to recruit proxy agents for Osirion ventures for a while now .. and Moreau figured that if he could take this kind of heat, he surely could bear whatever the desert had to throw at him.
Krass here =) I'll edit the lay-out later .. add more background fluff .. and work out his skill modifiers.
Raymond Moreau is a sword for hire and adventurer pur sang. Utilising his wit, sharp intellect and the pointy end of his rapier, he waltzes through life using the opportunities that come by as dancing partners. This means that he's pretty flexible when it comes to the group formation, if it comes to that =)
Would love to get some feedback on him from you, Angelica. He'll take ye basic fighter feats (wpn focus, specialization and probably improved disarm) and great fortitude, lightning reflexes and iron will as feats open up. I love the fact that he has SO many skills .. as a fighter!
As much as I like your character's background, I still have a question:
How does Gaedren Lamm fit into it?
He is the Joker to my Batman - he is directly responsible for the killing of his parents. Whether Lamm was still a young(er) man, working in the service of this or that crimelord, or already an established household name, is up to you. But Averys stumbled upon too many clues to let this lead slip by.
Whether he is actually responsible is up to you, of course. I'm sure that the halfling community is more than happy that someone is willing to take on Lamm for them ;)
edit - I type Penguin, but I'm pretty sure it's a young Joker in the movies -_-
There, I updated the sheet and brought the presentation in line with the standards of the forum. If there are any further questions, do ask! If you got any feedback/suggestions, I'm also open to those. The idea of str/dex 10 scares me, but it might be fun playing a true support character for a change :) I have been playing way too many tanks as of late!
I'll edit the formating tomorrow and decide on whether I want to go cloistered cleric or a normal cleric. Dumping a domain and a spell per level in return for skills and a bonus to knowledge is all good and fun, but I'm afraid my character as it is won't contribute much to combat situations :)
The core will remain the same: a merchant priest of Abadar who is in it for the money! .. and who will be a support character who boosts the performance of others.
As stone endures! Oh, Mindaugas remembers those words well. He had studied at and worked for Artificer's Union for many years, but clan politics had made it impossible for him to advance any further. Mindaugas belongs to the Dorgrimm clan, a rival to the Grummild clan and most dwarves in Irongate were members of the Grummild clan. Every single time he had been up for promotion, he was passed on for a Grummild. Every single time he had written a brilliant thesis on the usage of gemdust in inks and pigments for magical scrolls, he knew it went into the archives without being read.
Dwarves are known the worldwide for their endless patience, but one day Mindaugas couldn't take it any longer. He had unraveled a brilliant technique to scribe scrolls. The technique let him infuse more power into the paper, but none of his superiors took note. Then, the union started boasting of this new technique and started using it thanks to having all the necessary research, that Mindaugas did and wrote, at hand. He snapped, collected his few meager belongings and said goodbye to the few friends he had in Irongate.
The Iron Hills weren't an option, as he had worked for many years for the Grummilds. Greyhawk was a possibility, but every wandering soul went there. He lazily threw a dart at a map of Oerth and he had to lean closer to decipher the town his dart had struck - Diamond Lake? Well, anything would do, he thought to himself and like that, he was off.
I got no clue where Diamond Lake is located on Greyhawk so excuse my vagueness =D
Reb Brown here. This is Mindaugas. I need to sort out his gear a little and his total skill modifiers .. and I'll edit the lay-out .. but the important info is there.
One question - since I start with scribe scroll, can I use it for some starting scrolls? Otherwise, I'll simply pay the normal cost for it :)
