I can see that a first level alchemist gets his butt kicked as easily as a first level MU. About the only tools useful to start off with are the bombs. Luckily, I can wear armor and use an axe! A huge improvement over the old AD&D rules, which was the last time I played a MU. New territory here. I haven't allocated my starting skill ranks yet, and for simplicity sake, just copy-pasted the list of "recipes" from the book. According to the APG, I should have 5 recipes in my cookbook to start with. How do you want me to go about selecting them?

How much of my gear will I have been able to scrounge from the mines before leaving and how much will I have to buy with my starting cash?

This town really reminds me of RS! Is that why you selected it?

Baefu wants out so bad he'll do almost anything for money to move on. He doesn't have a problem with cooking the dope and selling it to those dumb enough to take it. He's willing to cook up and sell other concoctions too, if the price is right.

Looks like it'll be a fun game!

Some Fluff
Traits:
Dangerously Curious (Alchemy/Guns) +1 Use Alchemical Device
Exile, +2 Initiative

Fairly average dwarf in most ways. Except a few small acid burns on his face, a left hand that never did heal correctly, but is still quite usable, and a slightly ragged beard that frequently falls victim to accidents in the lab.

Personality
Baefu is self-centered but generally happy-go-lucky. He's takes pride in his metal smithing work but is happiest when blowing things up and has little regard for his own danger.

Character Traits
Baefu is a fairly skilled metal smith and crazy inventor. He's always working on "improved" delivery systems for his bombs, assorted explosives and poisons. He has seen a few guns around and is intensely curious about them and about the explosives that make them work.

Character Flaws
Baefu is greedy and self-centered. He doesn't really care who is in the blast radius of his toys as long as it isn't him and even then, when wearing his mail shirt and assorted protective gear, he isn't as careful of that as he should be.

Contacts / Friends
With his family and old alchemy teacher dead in the mine accident, he has a few drinking buddies and a couple hookers he's particularly fond of.

Enemies
With his greed and disregard for the safety of others around his "experiments", Baefu has made a few enemies around town. The explosives, poisons and his readiness with an axe keep most of them at bay. He's very careful not to get too drunk in town and never uses the drugs that are so readily available, though he has been approached about the possibility of processing them or making up new ones.

History:
Baefu started out apprenticed to a mining alchemist, learning to use the bombs and explosives for mining activities. Among the minerals found in his home mines, arsenic and various poisonous earth salts were common. Through necessity he learned to work around, and with them. A large earthquake destroyed the mines and most of the colony. The survivors dispersed throughout the region. He managed to scrounge a fair bit of good equipment to take with him when he left. Eventually Baefu fetched up in Falcon's Hollow where he's been working as a smith for the copper mine. He tends to spend most of his earnings on mead and women.
