Venark Firestarter's page

"I am well equipped for such a journey," Venark says almost joyfully. "The burning sun is both a wonderful and terrible thing."

I don't have Knowledge (Geography), but being from the desert, would I know a few things about it?

"For me, it is the excitement and the challenge. Life is short, and I could not imagine spending it trading cloth." Vernak says. "And the money doesn't hurt either," he adds quickly.

As he speaks, his eyes dart about the room, as if he is worried he might miss something if he is looking in the wrong direction.

Venark approaches Thoroar confidently. Speaking quickly, as of one who lacks the patience to wait to the end of his own sentences, he introduces himself. "Perhaps we are to be acquainted. I've come for the same purpose. Venark is my name, but they call me the Firestarter."

A mercurial Talven hailing from the desert wastes, Venark knows little of Sivir or his research. He fidgets with impatience at the thought of having to wait overnight for the promised meeting, but settles in at the Winding Road, waiting to hear about the job and what the scholar is offering.

Questions:

The Mystic progression references bonus feats. What list is that drawn from?

For a Talven, can I assume that Talven and Common are automatic languages, regardless of Int bonus?

What is the starting gold?

I need to do equipment and give the character another lookover, but I think the main parts are down.
