Resubmitting Xiao Chen as a half-elf. He's still from Tian Xia, on the run from debt collectors. He sought to escape their grasp in the metropolitan cradle of Sandpoint and get involved with an adventuring group for protection. I'm writing up his description/backstory now.


I'm honestly having trouble coming up with a story that doesn't feel cliché. I'm still working on it though. I might have to change my race to something a bit more...relate-able. Ophiduans have badass racials, but not much has been written about them, and I'm having trouble coming up with a motivation for adventuring beyond "it's a way to make myself better". :\


I'll be submitting my backstory very soon!


I forgot that those Volley feats were just OPTIONS, not required feats. I was thinking of them like bloodline powers or something. My bad. I downgraded the chain shirt to regular elsewhere on the sheet, I just forgot to remove the masterwork part from other areas of the sheet too.


Meet Xiao Chen, an Ophiduan Marksman of the Shroud. He can swat a fly while it's in flight - and across the room. He's a traveler who wants to see the world. Further backstory to come, soon.

Here's his full character sheet.

I did have a question for you, DM. I would like to use the Volley combat style and be able to throw large numbers of daggers at people, but I noticed that the style feats that come with the Volley combat style are fairly restrictive to crossbows only. I don't understand this, because the other perks that that combat style offers specify that they cover thrown weapons as well.

My question is, would you consent to allow me to get the style feats from Finesse Style instead of Volley Style while keeping Volley Style's main focus? Disrupting Shot, Shot on the Run, and Throw Anything are actually useful to me, whereas Crossbow Mastery, Manyshot, Rapid Reload, and Rapid Shot would be (mostly) wasted feats.
