I'm Nimzar's Witch. I can be reworked as an Arcane Sorcerer focusing on enchantments if need be (though I'd prefer to remain a witch).
I draw on the powers of a patron of wisdom and my starting hexes are Slumber and Ward.

I think you'll find that Sigaldren is more than capable of performing the sort of verbal dodging required when dealing with political rivals.
Signing up for this AP. Sigaldren is the Gnomish Servant and childhood friend of Audrey Swan, a scion of House Orlovsky. He and Audrey recently had a falling out over the best course of action concerning the growing tensions in Brevoy. He after this argument he ran off (half-cocked) to take a more active role in the coming conflict to prove his argument to Audrey. In the stolen lands, Sigaldren intends to protect House Orlovsky's interests. Sigaldren learned the basics of the witch's arts from his mother who served as Audrey's caretaker/nanny. He learned the arts of diplomacy (second-hand) from Audrey's tutors.
Quick questions: How much would a dose hair dye set my character back, how long in game would it take before his roots grew out to a noticeable length, and would he have to dye his hair and beard separately (or would one dose of dye be sufficient for both)? I'm thinking that Sigaldren's natural hair color is either Lemon Yellow or Cyan but he dyes it to stand out less among the nobles of house Orlovsky.
When asked to demonstrate his skill and usefulness in combat before being sent into the Stolen Lands, Sigaldren was clearly taken aback. Not that this came as a surprise to anyone who saw him. His finely maintained mustache and goatee, his tailored clothing, and his demeanor branded him as pampered noble. After taking a moment to roll up his sleeves and remove his sash, he stepped up to face his sparing opponent. After a few muttered incantations, his opponent lay on snoring on the ground. Upon completion of combat test the recruiter asked where he learned his casting abilities. @Sigaldren Roth: Gnomes often come in handy, and the backstory with house Orlovsky is compelling. Tell me more about how Sigaldren became a Witch, of all things. Witches are not exactly a respectable class, so becoming one is usually no small event. I've got a couple of ideas on that depending on what better fits your style. Personally, I usually think of character class being more of an out of character distinction rather than an in character one. Option 1:
In this option his character class wouldn't be referred to by name in-character.
I was envisioning Sigaldren's mother (Audrey's Nanny) as witch of the "village healer" variety. A distinction that helped her get the position of Nanny. While she was never open about her powers she didn't keep them secret. Sigaldren grew up learning the witch's arts from his mother and the diplomatic arts second hand from Audrey. Option 2: In this option his character class could be referred to by name in-character
When Sigaldren and Audrey were kids they would occasional sneak down to the lower town for an "adventure". On one such trip they were set upon by some vicious dogs. They were rescued by kind old witch. Audrey was shaken by the whole ordeal, but Sigaldren was intrigued. From then on Sigaldren would set out in secret to spend time and learn from witch
Signing up for this adventure. Surely a gnome would be handy. |
