I will point out that Shin is not a "traditional" monk. He will be multiclassing between Monk and two other classes. A martial, yes, but an atypical one.

I need to pick equipment still, but that's really about it.
Presenting Shin Oharu for review. For the GM: My plan with Shin, mechanically, is to go Monk (Hungry Ghost/Master of Many Styles) 2, Fighter (Lore Warden) 2, and take Summoner (Synthesist) the rest of the way. He'd jump to summoner at level 2, fighter at level 3, then dance around the classes until he finishes Monk and Fighter. Thematically it represents "cross-training" through the memories of his previous incarnations. His eidolon (which encompasses his body) is an amalgamation of his previous existences incarnate and appears as an idealized, muscular and athletic Samsaran. Eventually I plan to have him take multiple arms and look very Hindi in aesthetics, like a Kali/Vishnu sort of thing.
What is the policy on starting money? As Core (roll or average)?FuriousPhil stated that he'd like us to use average starting gold (table6-1 in the core rulebook) for starters :-) Thanks!

Shin Oharu Short for his age and as thin as a willow tree, Shin Oharu looks both otherwordlly and fragile. This boy's skin is the color of a clear sky; shades of azure blue fading to softer hues at the tips of his fingers, nose and lips. His hair contrasts sharply as chin-length black hair that resembles long brush strokes of ink on parchment. Shin's eyes are seemingly blind pools of pearl white coloration framed by starkly contrasting dark lashes. A single red dot the size of a copper piece is painted on Shin's brow between and just above his eyebrows. As emaciated and frail as he is, much of Shin's fragile build is hidden by a loosely fitting robe of snow white silk that covers his body. A jet blash sash worn around his waist is trimmed with sapphire embroidery and a silver medallion marked with the family crest of the Kaijitsu's is prominently displayed. To the left and right of this seal are two smaller copper medallions, one bearing the avian symbol of Sheylyn, and the other the blade symbol of Shizuru. Around Shin's right wrist is a bracelet made from fragments of O-Yori armor stained with blood and burned on the edges. Around his left wrist is a red silk band wrapped several times over. History:
Shin Oharu is the most recent incarnation of a Samsaran that has served the Amatatsu (Kaijitsu) family for generations. Bound to the family line as their immortal protector and tutor, Shin's recent death has called him back to this world in a weakened state of spiritual strength but physical fragility. He safeguards the secret of the Kaijitsu family with his life in the hopes that one day Ameiko is ready to ascend to her birthright. For more detail, see character profile.
Class Details:
Shin formed from the ephemeral force of spirit that all samsaran's come with recollected history of past monastic training amalgamated into new experiences. He, hoeever, maintains an untapped potential that will allow him to conjure forth the combined spiritual essence of all previous incarnations of his life to aid him in battle. Str: 9, Dex: 12, Con: 7, Int: 12, Wis: 18, Cha: 16
Plan: Monk multiclassing into Summoner (synthesist) and fighter. Shin's eidolon will be an amalgamation of all his previous samsaran incarnations called forth to protect the Amatatsu line in their hour of need. Posting:
3+ daily, weekdays. 1+ daily, weekends. Why this campaign: I've always wanted to play Jade Regent (I GMed both it and Rise of the Runelords in the past) and experience it from the other side of the table. Knowing what I know about the campaign I'd cooperate with the GM to help enhance the story and the enjoyment of others and not metagame.) |
