I want you all to decide on a city contact. Someone that you know that resides in the city, a trusted ally other then a PC. I few restriction must be observed though:
They must be around you level and social class, no one rubs elbows with the Archbanker of Abadar.
They must be accessible, so not out-town or in prison.
I will use this NPC to not only introduce you in the game but help me tell your individual story as the campaign progresses.

Okay, in the site and put in the basic numbers. Would an appropriate contact be the wizard/craftsman that Morvius is apprenticing under?
Also, had a question about the favored class bonus. Morvius took the APG option to learn an extra spell every level, with the caveat that it be at least one level lower than the highest level of spell known. Since a wizard starts knowing all cantrips (except those from the opposition schools), I wasn't sure how you wanted to handle it.
1). Allow one cantrip from an opposition school to be learned?
2). Allow the extra skill point until Morvius learns level 2 spells?
3). Allow one cantrip from an outside source? (Such as the create ice cantrip from the Ice Magic supplement.)
4). Loose any potential bonus until Morvius learns level 2 spells?

The choice is made when you gain a level, but since you know all the cantrips in the core and APG then choosing a below wizard spell at 2nd is pointless. Now to learning a cantrip not in the fore mentioned books, well if it fits the campaign I'll allow it. You'll have to sell it to me. Ice magic sounds like rare magic in Korvosa's subtropic climate.
Vhailor Falk |
I want you all to decide on a city contact.
My city contact is a low level cleric in the Church of Pharasma. After the death of Vhailor's foster father, this cleric became his mentor in both life and faith.
Best fit would be if he is someone who isn't held in too high regard within the church - which helps explain why he is ok with Vhailor pursuing a role as an Inquisitor rather than bringing him into the faith.
I'll polish off the rest of my character on the google site tonight my time (which should be your morning). Are we using max HP at 1st level?
Kol |
Hrm. Most of the folks from Kol's old life would likely be hostile (though an instructor or priestwho understands his reasoning is a possibility). As part of the bonus from the Trait: Drug Addict (Friend) is a +2 to Knowledge: Local, I'm going to assume he's been out in the city a few weeks now.
How about:
His first night outside the temple, Kol was wandering through the city with little in the way of a plan to find Lamm. He came upon a shopkeeper being assaulted in a back alley, and immediately found an outlet for his frustation and guilt, beating the mugger bloody, then escorting the shopkeeper home. He now lives above his/her shop, doing odd jobs for rent as he learns the ins and outs of the city.
I can add on as many details as you'd like, but have left it intentionally vague at this point to give maximum flexibility.

To those that didn't place this in their backgrounds I need to know where your character is living. You all are living in the section of the city called the Midlands.
Here is a link to Midland housing prices it can be found in the library section of the site.

My Character Sovellyn is done. He rents an apartment suite in the slopes.
Morvious is more than welcome to kick it there at the bachelor pad. Lots of parchment and ink, warm fireplaces, good brandy drink, a good place to practice law and in the wizards case, study magic.

If it is all right with you, Silversand, i will spend my last bits of gold on a wand of clw with 5 charges(75gp) and 40 gp for the slopes apartment for this month. that will leave me with a few pieces of gold left to throw around.
The slopes apartment suite will be where Sovellyn resides and practices law. A warm and cozy place with a good amount of room. Lots of merchant visitors from near and far. The house is decorated with antiquities from throughout the inner sea, a smell of fireplaces and rich pipe tobacco gently fills the air.

Sovellyns contact will be a man who is sort of a godfather and confidant to him.
A barrister in maritime and port law, who viewed Sovelynn as the son he never had. A good friend and associate of his father as well. Took Sovelynn hunting and taught him falconry, the basics of sailing and so forth.
Is partially responsible for Sovelynns good taste in drink, food, and pipe tobacco.
Is also very concerned regarding Sovelynns slipping into darkness following the murder of his lover.
Kaius Fornollkom III will be his name. He will walk around with a cane sword and large korvosan hat.

Sorry, scratch knowing each other from the backstory, then. Is ranks in spellcraft enough for the magical item crafter trade? (Spellcraft is the skill used for item creation rolls, if I recall correctly).
If it will make things simpler, I'll just take the extra skill point per level until Morvius can start learning those second level spells.

Okay, first newbie question: How do you post on that site? I'm signed in and see the maid bringing me breakfast, but don't see a way to respond.
Edit: Nevermind. I take it you want us to just keep editing the same post until you start a new one? I think I understand now.

Hey Silversand79,
my internet at the base in afghanistan is having problems right now, especially with Thanksgiving. It is slow and times out when I try to edit the page. Paizo still works for messages but barely. This should be fixed soon. Would you like me to email you in the meantime or post here.
Sovelynn will grab the hat and cane and hand it to Kaius when he reaches the door. He will say his goodbye and inform him that he will be over later as promised. Sovelynn will then spend some time with his other guest and finish up on his work. After grabbing lunch with some friends and fellows while brushing up on port related law and regulatory practices, he will head on over to assist Kaius.
