If you find a good source of fey beliefs, please share. This is the first fey character I've played and despite a clear Scottish heritage, I know next to nothing about them.
I also don't think two rhymes was too excessive. I wrote a post where I rhymed in turn to four people. I know it was a pain to WRITE, it never occurred to me that it might have been a pain to READ. 8)
Yeah I was all about D&D until 2nd ed came to a close and 3rd rolled out. I just decided that 3rd wasn't for me and my mates all felt the same way so we never touched it, let alone the newer additions.
I quite like Paizo's approach to the game, although the individual biases of some of the designers really annoys me (JJ and his self-fanservice with Cats and Dinosaurs > anything else by miles) and this stupid reluctance to allow LARGE bear animal companions; really? Have they looked at some of the animals they DO allow? And how are the AC's with the highest CHA (ie 12) four Dinosaurs? Are they from that kids movie Land Before Time? all the other companions rate in the 4-6 range. Urgh.
Some of that stuff REALLY irks me.

Auuuugh I hate this so much. They have large WOLVES for the love of god, and you can take a large elk, too. Because as we all know, wolves and deer are much much bigger than your average grizzly.
As for sources, Hilde, I've a set of gift shop books on irish mythology that I've... more or less exhausted already, at this point. Beyond that I'm TRYING to mine some of the enormous poetry collection my english major has saddled me with and get around to exposing myself to a midsummer night's dream, and otherwise just frantically googling where I don't want to wing it. We should both keep on the lookout, though! I'll let you know if something drops into my lap.

Yeah as I say, WHAAATTHEF.... Hope they sort it BEFORE Elghund goes all 'Polar Bear Adams'.
Yah, I'm in 110% agreement in the bear companion issue. Kló would have been great with a bear companion that advanced to be ... Ya know ... the size of a polar bear.
Though in pretty happy with him as-is, too. :)
I'm getting onto James Jacobs about it, its a bear faced insult :p
Went to the Jury Duty thing today, sat there all day, bored out of my mind. No cases were sent to jury, we were all excused.
Shifty can haz large bear in my games if you like... I'll even let it have a racial trait of Hatred: Dinosaur :P
Found out something positive today - since work upgraded out desktops I can once more post map updates and images to Google Drive - so yay for that :)
As far as fae myths and such - Stardust (Neil Gaiman) is an excellent read and gets you into the vibe of things most definitely. Neverwhere by the same author also has similar veins of thought. Wiki searching gets you a fair way as well.

Great news! and I looooove Neverwhere. BBC are supposedly doing a radio play of it this year. (Also if you haven't read it his poem "Fairie Reel" is a favourite of mine).
Edit: Ha! At the rate I'm going Bastagar won't actually hit anything (items excluded, I suppose) until second level. At which point his mysterious and currently non-existant sorcerer-powers can come from under wraps.
No stats for Large Bearz animal companions... Elghund wants a Polar bear or something.
Have just read through the second volume and it's shaping up nicely :)
Some tasty scenarios for both the Ulfen and the Fae to come.

Old Skool Cave Bear
Should we home-brew a version of the bear companion that more closely mirrors the big cat progression?
Start it medium, advancing to large @ 7. Big strength, low dex, decent con with a moderate AC bonus. Give up pounce and some of the cat's mobility but keep grab? Any other thoughts on what makes a big bear a big bear?
Also, Kló will be ecstatic if Elghund ends up with a polar bear companion. They'll be like twins! ANd at level 6 and beyond, Kló can just live in polar bear wildshape form to have twin bears in the group.
There aren't any rules on how long you can go without sleep, but every hour of traveling after 8 you have to make a Con check. We ought to be well past that since we've been walking all night.

A more interesting scenario would be if Kló and the issbjorn became mates? Weird but interesting nei... :)

I sure am glad that I'm in the "weird" fey group.
I figure you set out at about 10pm or so and it's coming up on 5am.
BWAHAHAHHA.
Wait, thats legit.
O.o
That is both awesome and horrifying.
Excellent.
LOL. Mighty!
Bastagar dreams of warm slippers and fresh honey cakes.
Munchy honey cakes?
Well, they are great to eat and fun to make.
:P
If Olaf has 12.5gp lying about, the Halfhand can carve some CLW runestones in co-operation with them. Let me know here if you want to, and I'll engage the conversation in-character. I don't think he's seen Kelgar use his magic, so it'd have to be the other way there.
I could have sworn I made a post yesterday but it appears to have been eaten. Oh well. 8)
Just a heads up, I'll be getting some much needed dirt between my toes camping over easter. I'll likely get one chance to check the threads when I restock, and probably no time to compose a post, so I'm happy for you to bot Bastagar as needed. Hope I don't slow things down too much.
Yeah I could do with a bit of the great outdoors myself, it's been a few weeks :(
No problems Twigs, enjoy the wide outdoors and keep a weather eye for dropbears.
VoV has been busy,
Much work and stress flow over,
Post later he shall.
Way I see it, my last post must have been REALLY impressive because it's been 35 hours now and no one has posted in response to it.
Such Hallmark levels of unbridled optimism must have put all of you into comas. 8)

PS: I have midterms next week. General Pathology Tuesday and Medical Microbiology Friday. These test are both brutal - 150 questions, 3 hours each, no breaks, get Bs or you're dismissed from medical school. A quarter of those taking these exams last term were dismissed - adios, bye bye...by the way, you still owe us $100,000 for tuition so far...
I plan to post but if I make a mistake skimming long posts, please understand. Also, please understand that Hilde won't be saying much as I've got NoTime2Rhyme. 8(
Hilde - understood completely and take what time you need for the study and whatnot.
I had hoped to post tonight... but the eleven month old decided being awake till one in the morning was a far more important way to spend my time. Sleep first... then sneak a post at work methinks.
Hey, family first. We'll be patient. :)
Coming up on 48 hours of everyone being so impressed with my post that they have nothing to say.

To be fair I think people are waiting on me progressing the story than anything else... which will occur in between 2-3 hours from now.

Yah, we just chillin in the snow and waiting for the GM to send bad things to come kill us.

Really? And here I thought it was all about my awesomeness. 8(

Wait! That's not snow we're camping in, That's saccharine.
I'm withdrawing from the game. Just couldn't find a way to make the character work. Have fun storming the castle! :)
Joana - as stated over PM, I'm sad to see you go but understand your reasons why. I'll be seeing you round the boards at any rate. I raise a tankard and toast the sjaund to Halla.
I've already made an approach to a replacement (who has accepted) and will likely be posting here shortly.
Usual weekend for me at present (Happy Easter All) but should have posts tonight.
That's my signal. Joana sorry to see you go, hopefully I can fit in and keep things moving.
Adieu, Joana. Thanks again for your help with Annalisa's character sheet.
