Roger Steves's page

This build which you can see on the link captures the physical capabilities of Cap quite well, but doesn't really capture his leadership or inspirational abilities. I try to use roleplaying to make up for it. It is really hard to capture any super-hero completely as pathfinder is a team game where most super heroes come from stories where they are primary protagonists.

Day Job Check:
Profession Soldier: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

Captain Steves heads to Misery Row to deliver a speech.
Perform Oratory: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

"Corruption of the self starts through trafficking in people as a commodity. All people deserve freedom and a right to basic needs. If people stop buying other people even the slavers and slave traders won't be able to continue the trade!"

Roger doesn't make it very far into his speech before he is drug away by the local guards. He doesn't resist them, but tries to continue shouting his words.

"I know I'm asking a lot. But the price of freedom is high. It always has been. And it's a price I'm willing to pay. And if I'm the only one, then so be it. But I'm willing to bet I'm not."

Unfortunately his words seem to have little effect on the crowd.

This was an attempt at a faction card goal, and did not succeed. Did helping the Azers count as liberating one or more slaves, captives, or hostages?

* I don't like it when someone plays a character clearly ripped from fiction, complete with name and picture - like a shield-hurling Captain America/Captain Andoran, Black Widow, Legolas, etc.

I resemble that remark.

While the the room is lowering after passing by the chokers, Roger pulls out a syringe and injects himself. He grows a bit, and seems stronger and faster, he now fills out his breastplate more nicely.

Roger is going to take his mutagen on the way down, it will last 80 minutes

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Turning to Pinpi
"Pinpi, not now. we have an important mission, these people," Roger gestures to the Chokers, "need our help, otherwise they won't be able to have fun themselves."

Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

Roger would attempt to assist diplomacy probably with Edward leading

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

"Hello, you must be Mawr's friends. We have come to help you and neutralize the threats from The Forge. I am Captain Steves, or Roger if you prefer, and these are my friends and fellow pathfinders."

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32

Roger looks over his shield examining it for paint, but he otherwise remains silent.

"We have orders, we should follow them."

"Raiding parties of what? Also can you elaborate on what makes The Forge more dangerous than the Scrap Heap?

I want to ensure the safety of both Absalom and Marw's people before we worry over much about academic oddities, but I understand the society's interest in such things, and we will do all that we can."

Roger will cover the bright, but heatless flames coming off of his shield from the eyes of Marw.

This build has been a great deal of fun for me. I flavor his low Int as a lack of knowledge about the modern world. Also no need for paladin levels to act like one.

Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

"Hello Marw, I am afraid that I cannot see well in the dark. I am sorry that the light seems to be uncomfortable to you."

Just missed that check

"Ember, I am no more fire resistant than any other humans. The Red Redoubt? I think I was there once, on a training exercise. We encountered some very strange devices, that I didn't understand well. Let me see what else I can remember."

Knowledge Local: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"It appears the details have slipped my mind."

"We do not need to stand upon formalities here, so Roger or Steves are both fine, without Captain. I have found having my speed bolstered by similar circumstances as you describe to be quite effective at improving my combat performance."

With my mutagen active for Str, my Int drops to 6

"Ah Pinpi, it is a pleasure to see you again. You bring a cheerful attitude to every mission we have been on together, but please keep your paints away from me, others might enjoy it though.

Edward, it has been some time since we last traveled together in Natambu. If your magics don't subdue any Robots we come across, my shield will make short work of any hostiles."

Captain Steves turns toward Ember.
"As to you, I don't believe we have met. It is my pleasure."
Roger extends his hand to Ember.

"Our other companions may be a bit strange, but their hearts are in the right place. They are also quite capable of handling themselves in dangerous situations." He lowers his voice. "Keep an eye on Pinpi though, she likes to paint on other peoples possessions, and her style is ... unconventional."

Speaking louder again, "My skills lie primarily in combat, I am skilled both close and far with my shield and my body. I will try to attempt to keep enemies from the rest of you.

Know that while I am a pathfinder, I will seek to combat tyranny and injustice where ever I might find them. Though I do not hold my companions to the same standards. Also so you are aware, I am a bit out of touch with the modern world, as I spent some time under an imprisonment spell back during the Andoran Revolution."

His out of touch is reflected with his low Int score, representing low knowledge abilities

A man walks in wearing the uniform of a Knight Captain of Andoran. He wears a well polished mithral breastplate, and carrying an adamantine shield that seems to burn with blue flames surrounding a star in the center of the shield.
"Knight Captain Steves reporting for duty."
