Lol, I should have looked at the game thread. I see what you are talking about. But Kingmaker is made for an Aldori Swordlord after all. :) I'm also much less of a charisma guy, more of an intimidator.

I believe Tristan was complete. As to motivation, my intro covered that. If you want more specifics, let me know. At the moment Tristan's primary motivation is starting his own noble house.
To further reinforce our illustrious DM's statement, I do intend to basically rebuild Khargol into a bow-quisitor after the first book is over, using the downtime between them to explain the significant build changes that will take place. The party is sorely lacking in the Ranged department and it is my intention to fill that gap at the earliest time I can. Looking at who's left, it looks like you are short in both martial and divine, especially if you are converting to ranged based.
DM Tuyena, let me know if there is anything amiss with my submission. I think I hit everything though.

Tristan's intro: The smoky tavern was filled with noise, most of it coming from the large table in the back corner of the room. A large group of young toughs were gathered there drinking and engaged in boisterous conversation. Their dress marked them as young nobles, while their swords marked them as probable students of one of the dueling academies that Restov was famed for.
"But Tristan, where could you possibly go from here? Surely you can make amends at home, afterall your father is stinking rich!" "I've burned that bridge as thoroughly as could be." Responded the one that had been questioned. He was slightly older than the rest of the group and appeared to be its nominal leader.
"Wait! What monastery? You were a monk?!?" interrupted one of the youngest at the table. Tristan sighed. "Yes, for about a year. My father thought it would be a good idea to have kin in the monastery of Irori in the Icerime Peaks that overlooks one of the only trade routes through there. It didn't matter to him that I was completely unsuited for that lifestyle. Of course, back then was when I still believed all that "honor of the family" stuff. It was the most hellish year ever. Can you believe they expect you to drink water with dinner?" The table burst out in laughter at that and Trsitan punctuated the ridiculousness of the idea by taking a long draught from his tankard. "Well, needless to say, I stole out of that place as soon as I could. Although, I have to admit that some of the stuff I learned has been very useful here at the academy." At that comment, there were several nods around the table. They all had seen Trsitan use techniques that were unique and even the instructors had commented on. "Father was none too pleased when I returned and then when I sort of borrowed some family funds to come here, I believe that was too much for him. So, now I'm looking into some things I've heard and will strike out on my own. Besides I was getting sick of my family's insipid fawning over the Surtovas." Several of the Rostlanders smiled at that. One of them responded. "I hear rumor that the Restov council is going to offer charters to explore the Stolen Lands, perhaps you would be interested." "Yes,"replied Stefan."I had heard the same. With such charters come lands and titles. With those I could completely sever my ties from here and begin a new House. Who knows, years from now you all could be visiting Lord Tristan." Tristan beamed at the table. And was rewarded with good natured chuckling from the rest. They think I'm joking, but I will found a new noble house and be remembered in the histories.
Wow, a chance to finally play Kingmaker! Will have a human aldori swordlord fighter up this evening!
Putting one hand against the wall of the pipe, Tristan moves further into the pipe.
"Quick to the pipes before they arrive."
Tristan moves to the fallen soldier and attacks, wary of the two vermin protecting him.
actions:
Move- move to soldier in a way to avoid AoOs from rats if possible, if not, I will acrobatics last 5'. Standard- attack prone soldier, fighting defensively and using Combat Expertise.
status:
AC-26 hp-33/33 status- fighting defensively, combat expertise
Tristan shrugs his shoulders and advances on the guards. "Well, this is an auspicious beginning." He thinks to himself.
"Jack, I do not believe those guards are going to bother with any discussion. I would prepare myself if I were you." actions: Move 30' towards the guards, while drawing rapier. Ready an attack, using Combat Expertise against first enemy that moves into a threatened square.
"Well, it looks like they aren't accepting visitors after all. I guess night would be best, through the pipes. I hope none of you are too averse of sewers."
"T
"Perhaps we should just observe them for a while and discern their routines. See what kind of traffic, if any, is going into the city, how they are checking incoming groups, or any other information we can find."
"I don't think you will outdistance a horse in overland travel. You definitely won't be carrying the load they do. Tal is exactly right, better to have one and not need it, than need it and not have it."
"I know not about showing anyone up. All I do is kill the enemies of Andoran. If they happen to be Chelaxian, so much the better."
Tristan rises at the dismissal and glances at the others. Watching the byplay, he scowls slightly.
Tristan will be focusing on spell casting :)
Ok, here he is. I went down to a 21 point buy (took an extra 1 point worth of buy) and removed Adventurer's Handbook from my list (replaced Expand Horizons with Flurry of Strikes). |
