Okay, I'm working on a witch/kineticist that is really inspiring me.

I know that occult characters are at a disadvantage, but a character I'm not feeling is a worse disadvantage.

Sounds like a cool idea. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

@Shirin Ravengale, just wanted to say I think your backstory is awesome! Great flavor and cool plot points.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it. :)

And here's my intro post:

Ameiko Kaijitsu hummed a jovial tune as she cleaned glasses behind the bar. Business was going well today, the Swallowtail Festival brought in numerous customers. One in particular brought a grin to her face as she stepped through the doors.

The woman was of average height and slender build. Her raven black hair hung loosely down her back, bringing out the bright green of her pensive eyes as it cast over them like a curtain. She wore black hide armor, adorned with white fur about her shoulders, upon which slung a bow in its quiver. Shirin was her name. She was relatively new to Sandpoint, only having lived there for maybe a year now, but in that time had become one of Ameiko's closer friends.

The circumstances that brought Shirin here were still a mystery to her, but it was clear she must have come from some elven establishment. Shirin's wild but reclusive nature reminded her of them. She set the glass she currently slaved over down on the counter, drying her hands as she regarded her friend with a teasing grin. "Not participating in the games? You could rake in the prizes with your skill. Maybe I wouldn't have to cook, I heard they're giving out pies to the winners of the Devil Hunt." She winked for a little emphasis. The answering laughter was soft, but melodic, reminiscent of birdsong and had Ameiko secretly jealous.

Shirin took up a seat on one of the stools and gave Ameiko an inquisitive stare before relenting, returning her friends cheer. "I wouldn't rob the good people of Sandpoint of their bounty. Besides, I've been told that they aren't exactly magnificent." She held her gaze steady, her smile growing ever more broad as Ameiko moaned, going back to her work. "I wouldn't want to disappoint you."

"Yeah, right. Ameiko turned, waving a ladel scoldingly. "I think you plan to keep it for yourself." Her eyes narrowed as the ladel descended and pointed straight into Shirin's face. "All humor aside, you should see the festival. There will be all kinds of people there, who knows who you'll meet? Maybe a man will come and sweep you off your feet, carrying you off into the sunset."

Shirin rolled her eyes. "And likely lose a hand."

Her matchmaking shenanigans shot down before they could take off, Ameiko's ladel drooped as did her smile. "Off with you, I'd join you but I must tend the Inn. Perhaps later."

Shirin sighed, turning to leave and rob the good citizens of Sandpoint of their mediocre pie.

This weapon enhancement thing is confusing me. Are we limited to weapons with enhancement bonuses+abilities of +2 or less? Or do we buy items with abilities and the progression bonuses add enhancement?

You only buy the enhancement abilities, since you naturally gain the enhancement bonus, but must reduce that bonus to accomodate the ability you chose. So to answer your question, yes, we're limited to what our enhancement bonus is.


Think I'm finished with Shirin's background. Writing up the interaction now.

One quick question, what do you want us to do about character appearance? do you need a picture or just a detailed description?

I just posted a link to a picture, but I'll likely include a description anywho to cover certain details.


Arrathion's submission. Crunch should be set, working on background now.
